AS SANDS THROUGH THE HOUR GLASS : World beating Prime Minister and hobbyist virologist Boris Johnson is reported to have begun 2022 as he ended 2021.
“And it’s how he means to go on,” a 10 Downing Street source told LCD Views. “When he’s not on holiday he’ll be hard at working shirking his responsibilities.”
The early achiever award for the PM is said to result from a series of resolutions he made at the stroke of midnight, as 2021 spluttered and crashed into history and 2022 had just begun to mewl into life.
“He made a series of resolutions to a crowded room. But no sooner had he made them then he broke them one by one. By one minute past midnight he gone back on his promise not to make irrelevant classical references. By one minute and a half he had abandoned any pretence to wearing a mask where required. In his defence the mask he took off was of Batman. And he just got worse from there on.”
The PM keeping his form will reassure an anxious nation though, as they wait to see if the turning over of the calendar will lead to a surprise like public first governance.
“Nope. It’ll be Lord of the Flies still,” the source affirmed. “Sometime soon Johnson will be turfed out and replaced with Truss or some other noisy, empty vessel. By this stage anyone who had made a resolution not to drink in 2022 will have firmly fallen off the wagon again. Happy New Year.”
