In power but floundering

I hate to say it but the British government is currently floundering. There is little reason to feel confident or optimistic or hopeful that out of this total mess will emerge a government of superb leadership who will forge for our children and children's children a better and happier future. Hearing ministers on the radio and on television is a bleak experience. They don't know what they're doing, they have no idea what this government stands for, and as for the EU-leaving negotiations, how can they negotiate at all when it's still not decided whether we are to leave the single market or the customs union. Some ministers, like Philip Hammond, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the richest man in the cabinet, want to stay in both it seems, while others, like Michael Gove, Boris Johnson and probably Theresa May, want to leave everything and strike out on our own in this big wide world, like ducklings in a dried-up pond. Boris was almost as bad as the Labour Party's Dianne Abbott when trying to answer questions on BBC Radio about the Government's Queen's Speech statement. Floundering hardly describes it. As for the decision to house 250 of the desperate victims of the Grenfell Tower fire into a rich-list apartment block in Kensington sounds terrific and terribly generous and charitable and deserved. But are you seriously trying to tell me that these families will be happy to live in one of the poshest pads in the poshest part of London where the only community will be made up drivers of Ferraris and Lamborghinis who will no doubt resent having "poor" people living in the same block. What sort of community will that be for them or am I being totally unfair? Instead of having nice affordable local shops to go to, they will probably only find the poshest shops where food prices are beyond them. No one has seriously thought this through. These families deserve to be happy and looked after but will they find happiness and protection in a block of flats each of which is valued at well over a million pounds? I fear possibly not. But no doubt it makes the government happy that they have been seen to do something for the victims of the appalling fire. Meanwhile, Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, is talking of holding multiple reviews about protecting the country from terrorism. For goodness sake, more and more reviews!! Just get on with the job, you don't need to learn lessons. The lessons are obvious. Do NOT cut back on police officer strengths, rebuild community service police forces and don't let ANYONE returning from a trip to Syria arrive back in this country without being detained. Sometimes, you despair!!
