Come, said the spider to the fly

I'll begin this week in saying that once again autumn is now well and truly upon us, albeit slowly but surely. It doesn't take much of an attempt by the wind to knock all those faded leaves from the trees, everything is beginning to shut down once more, however, this doesn't mean that gardens are going to lose all of their colour, far from it in fact.

For Bob, the garden is approaching a period of tidying, clearing away all the detritus of summer and putting in new bulbs for the spring to come. If the weather is as warm as last winter, I shall be spending some of my time in just watching him. There's nothing more pleasing to a frog like me, than to watch you humans hard at work. Ribbit!!!

Bob has been in a happy frame of mind this last week, happy that is until he heard that your Tory party have been making lacklustre promises, that is should you lot be foolish enough to vote them back into power at the next general election. Croak!!!

Now hold on there a minute... I'm well aware, despite my being a frog, that you lot generally aspire to being middle class, but let's face it, you're not!! The middle and upper classes of your society think of nobody but themselves because they're greedy, selfish and a miserable lot of toads. As I understand it, the Tories made a statement this week saying that they are appealing to the middle class citizen, so don't go around thinking that you're one of these, because if you do, then you're just about as caring as the jackal taunting its prey while it lays dying on the ground. Croak!!!

Bob says that the Tories have promised to take away the insipid inheritance tax, Toad's crap!!! They, like every other single lying MP, will tell you anything just so they can get into power. My goodness, have you lot already forgotten what life was like under the Thatcher regime? Yes, the middle and upper classes did very well out of them, but for the first time in your history, several millions lost their jobs and more than a thousand small businesses went to the wall every single week. This is how caring the Tories really are about you lot. Croak!!!

Their promises are as hollow as a thousand year old oak tree that's been dead for a very long time. Think not? Let me tell you, their financial plans simply do not add up. Take their plan to do away with ID cards, and so they should, cos it's an infringement of your civil rights as humans. Anyway, they promise to do away with ID cards so they can finance new prisons. Really? And where will this money come from, when the money for ID cards was going to be paid for by you lot? Are you getting it yet? From higher taxation, that's where. Croak!!!

You know what, it's easier for governments to hike up your taxes, simply because there isn't a sodding thing you can do about it, but moan. Well, moan away, because they won't care a fig leaf for your feelings anyway. As you should know by now, I like you humans a lot, you're strange, yes, but you're also cute, but for goodness sake, start using your brain and stop acting like idiots. Believe in what you see. Trust in what has happened in the past. There, you see, it works. Ribbit!!!

Remember this: Voting, or not voting, as I pointed out recently, it's the only power you have over people like these, men and women who are there to feather their own nests, and who incidentally, couldn't care less about you as citizens of this fair land... You lot are just a means to making them wealthy. Croak!!!

Well, I'm off to hunt around the garden for a spot of dinner, so, stay safe and I'll be back with you all again real soon, Ribbit!!!
