UPDATE - LARRY THE No. 10 CAT to join Tom the pissed off cat and Nick satirizing and analysing the Tories and British political scene starting Monday
We will need guidance. Say what you want, British politics is far more civilized than anything we've got on this side of the pond
The GQP shit show is almost upon us and Nick and I agree that everyone has had their fill of watching the Republican circus unfold once again.
We had a close look at our archives and seriously - we do not see that this go around will not be much different from the Trump years in the House, especially with the likes of Gym Jordan, pipe bomber MTG, middle school dropout Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz - pimp of teenage girls in the mix again..
And there will be more of their ilk. We’re guessing that they will be focused on some major national emergency - a fucking laptop or something of that ilk.
They sure don’t give a damn about Trump’s theft of classified, top secret documents or his plethora of criminal offenses. (i.e.stolen confidential documents that have no doubt been sold on to foreign interests. Not to mention his numerous monetary and tax issues - many still before the courts.
So rather than rehash the old GQP shit show we’ll turn our lens and focus on the much more civilized show across the pond under Rishi Sunak and his gang.
It seems, for the moment at least, that the former Goldman Sachs manager and major shareholder in Infosys turned politico PM Sunak will be around for longer than the past two PMs.
Whether or not he makes it to the finish line of his term remains to be seen but it is guaranteed to give us a chuckle or two.
He appears to be digging deep into his relief staff (baseball terminology - sorry we haven’t got all the cricket lingo down.
BTW - is cricket similar to baseball?
I’m just shitting you - I have spent a fair bit of time travelling and am marginally familiar with what is known as football in the majority of the world. Cricket however baffles me.
It seems to both Nick and I that cricket requires a PhD in Boolean Logic to fully understand the sport. And it’s a whole new language.
Nick spent a lot of time watching and playing cricket with his friends in India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan over the past few years. His friends grew tired of his moronic questions and instructed him to shut up, just watch and fetch energy drinks for the teams. No more annoying questions. No more ‘playing’. Just spectating.
We’re looking forward to spending time with our British cousins in our motherland - we’re Canadian and have a rudimentary grasp on the goings on at Westminster.
Far more civilized than the USA and the province of Alberta in our frigid redneck Canadian home.
I beg your forgiveness if we screw up and are hoping that our friends from our mother country will bear with us. Please do not hesitate to correct and clarify anything we screw up.
*** Late breaking news - My good friend, Larry the Number 10 Cat has just informed us that he will be be able to join us from time to time - as his busy campaign schedule allows. As you will remember, Larry fed up with the Tory revolving door policy at Number 10 is running for Prime Minister in the next General Election.
We look forward to availing ourselves of his experience and understanding of the workings of British Parliament.
Welcome and thank you so much Larry - very much appreciated.
He’s alway a welcome addition to our team - intelligent and wise in the ways of No 10 and British politics.
PS - he loves Dreamies!
Love,
Tom the pissed off cat, Larry the Number 10 Cat and future PM, and of course Nick our token homo sapien.
May Bastett the Goddess of Cats bless you in this festive season.

Now if you don’t mind too terribly - some pleading from a Canuck moggie and Larry the Number 10 Cat.
Now I’m nowhere near or civilized and beautiful, well behaved and intelligent as the British Short Hairs I have had the pleasure to meet in my travels.
But Larry is.
Cat lovers…
Can I trouble you to buy me some kitty treats. Just $3. One time only. Nick is threatening to hire me out as a hit man rodent killer if I don’t start earning my keep. Bear in mind that Nick had my balls lopped off some time ago and for some reason chasing and murdering innocent rodents holds little appeal to me.
Love a feline - buy a cat some Dreamies!
