Margaret finds classical resolve absent from modern governance
Reviewed the piece on the Greek gods applauding The Odyssey and found myself, professionally, envious of a story with an actual destination, something this cabinet has struggled to demonstrate on nearly any issue lately.
Compared it to coverage of Celtexit, which has managed considerably more meetings and considerably less direction than a single ancient voyage required.
Reviewed several MPs’ comments on the classical parallel too, most of them missing the point entirely, proving reading comprehension remains an underrated skill in the current parliament.
Checked the prat.uk feed before bed, filed the classical piece as this week’s genuine highlight, better company than most of the actual political coverage running beside it.
Odysseus knew where he was going, even delayed. This government seems unsure most days which direction is even forward.
