Hej John
Sitter här och skrattar åt din kommentar. Så härligt det låter och rörigt. Engelsk humor är helt underbar.
Stor kram från Kim 😀

Tack Kim!

It’s the evening of the Scottish referendum and the BBC is being breathless… (What – Will – Happen?) Meanwhile I just watched a sketch show on another TV channel (Channel 4) in which a group of Scottish actors and comics made fun of the whole business. One couldn’t make up his mind and kept running up and down the steps of the polling station – finally he tossed a coin. My favourite sketch though was the Scots couple in a car. The woman was heavily pregnant and they were driving north to Scotland so the baby would be born Scottish. Too late – the baby is born 500 metes short of the border and the father cries in horror: “He even looks English!”

That’s my kind of fantasy. 😉

Hugs to you and Eva both.

Hi Eva. Thank you. The word you lost was “well-founded”. (“Well-funded” would be välfinansierade – which would only describe me if wishes came true ;-)).

The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote “poets are the unacknowledged legislators of mankind”, meaning (I think) that the radical ideas poets – all writers – dream up in one generation, a later generation will accept as commonplace. I’m happy with that – it’s the most political responsibility I want. As for politicians as writers… my mind drifts to Jeffrey Archer and Thomas Bodström (perhaps it’s unfair to link just those two), but isn’t the genre most retired politicians choose autobiography? A form of fantasy, to be sure!

Ja, så är det Eva 🙂

Absolut Kim! Vi har fantasi nog att se hur det kan gå annars 🙂

Another suggestion: let the politicians write stories, categorize them as Fantasy (because that is what they often are) and let the writers take care of the nations.
