Review This

I am sure that the United Nations Security Council is quaking at the prospect of being reviewed by Lisa Nandy. 

Honestly, these are the people whose outriders, convinced beyond argument that the lower orders are as uninterested in politics as they are, belch their contempt at those of us who dare to mention how the money supply works, or to question wars in which this country is actively engaged. "Ordinary people don't care about that," apparently.

Yet we commoners are expected to be moved by Nandy's thoughts on, "the structure of the Security Council, the role of the General Assembly, the powers of the World Health Organization, the UN’s efficiency, its links with civil society, and the ways in which UN bodies such as the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the International Court of Justice can better hold national governments to account for crimes against humanity." 

The gushing over this is coming from exactly the individuals who have in some cases spent 20 years spitting abuse at the rest of us for even so much as knowing what these things were. Now, however hilariously, they presume the right to "review" them.

  1. Who's Nandy going to out on this review? Someone from HSBC, bankers to the Mexican and Colombian drug cartels?
