Still The LAST (Decent) MAN STANDING in the U S Republican Party, the Doughty, Redoubtable and Undoubtedly, Indubitably Honest and Honourable and Decent Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina...But Prithee Tell Me Where Oh Where is Cabinet Secretary Ben Carson At This Pivotal Juncture in U S History?

A Solitary Requiem to That Once Most Prized Possession, A Decent Sense of Humour...R.I.P. You Will Be Sorely Missed by So Many of Us, Perhaps No Longer in the Majority in our Super-Enlightened, Oh So Progressive Western Lands...

And An Extremely Postmortem Memorium to a Precious Pet, the Miniature Horse from Waitati Mercilessly Mutilated by a Drug-Deranged Dropkick, Himself Given a Slap Upon the Wrist with an Extremely Soggy Bus Ticket by the So-called 'Justice' Authorities of (the Once Aptly Named) 'God's Own'...

Yet We Simply Have To (in Vera Lynn's case)...since the late singer outlived both world wars and the Korean War, Vietnam War, the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq War #1, 9/11, Iraq War #2...and the Rise of Sissii International...But Sadly Not the Era of COVID-19 (Though this was not what finished her off, I gather), 'Whose' Distant 'Cousin', the Spanish Flu, Itself Took a Massive Toll At the Very Time (1917) She Came Upon the Scene: But Having Gone Almost 50% Over Humanity's Allotted 'Threescore and Ten', Good On the 'Choraler' of the Troops in WW11 for Reaching 103...the Same Day Me Good 'Ole Mum Attained 86 (Beating my Dad by 7-and-two-thirds Years Plus, Though He'd been born 7-and-a-half years prior to her!), My Mother Sharing the Same Day as a Best of British Politico (with the Selfsame Birth-year Evidently as Yours Truly), None Other Than Brave Boris himself...

That INESTIMABLE EPISODE of Faulty Towers, "No, We WON'T Mention the War!" by a Cowardly, Imbecilic (BBC-Sponsored) UKTV...Goodness Gracious, Where's the [Western] World Headed? Rest in Peace, Basil Fawlty, You'll Never Be Forgotten...

Ditto to all John Cleese's reflections upon the petty bureaucrats presently running such things at the BBC...no, they've nothing whatsoever on their illustrious predecessors, that's for sure... but you'd think a sense of humour would be a fairly basic prerequisite, wouldn't you

In the spirit of folk racially profiled and consequently snuffed out of existence before their time...THIS is to memorialize (in a small way) the ghastly state-sanctioned murder (in Texas in 2011 or 2012 I believe) of another innocent man: (as detailed today upon 'Democracy Now')...[but for the life of me (any pun quite unintended) I cannot presently recollect his name]...
