They have never, in their whole history, not been fighting about trade: trade laws are to the Tory party what ownership of the Queen Vic is to EastEnders. The lasting peace that will come about once Israel has shot all the Palestinians.īeyond that, the year broke down into four seemingly unending and increasingly apocalyptic chapters.ĭomestically, the year was dominated by the Conservative party successfully externalising its bitter divisions on trade. Trump said the US was “fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement”.

Looking back over the events of this year is a bit like holding a doll for a therapist and pointing to where the bad man hurt you. To try to address the iniquities of their society, the satirist must manufacture some hope that what they’re doing might make a difference, then type it all up and send it off somewhere before they remember that it never does. The plight of the satirist, such as it is, is a compulsion to look at the grimmest, most important thing they can think of, and then for reasons that probably wouldn’t survive a really good therapist, try to make it funny. And now that you put it like that, yes, you’re right, it’s not much of a plight at all, really. A satirist, you imagine, is having a pretty heavy week if they do more than pop up on The News Quiz to say that every MP in the DUP looks like a committee member of a bowling club who’s just seen a visitor enter the bar wearing jeans.

I regret the decision to both hire Signpost and to be convinced to by them to employee a very poor strategy. One particular Signpost employee talked me into it. I expressed concern about this strategy knowing that people are more motivated to submit a negative review (even if they were a slightly unhappy) than to write a positive review (even if they were ecstatic). They suggested a blanket one-size-fits-all strategy to reach out to all of our more than 5k contacts. This is due to their very ineffectual strategy to try and secure reviews. A few after working with Signpost we are now 4.3. Before starting with Signpost our Google rating was 4.7.
