Is it possible to be unctuous and at the
very same time arrogant? On the evidence
it seems so; for ingratiating himself with
those of whom he anticipates grovelling
acquiescence he charmingly dotes on until
such time their own sense of moral urgency
becomes a threat to his theatrical pageantry
of virtuous dedication to all that practising
progressive politics denotes -- be it condemning
racism, homophobia, misogyny and injustice
while secretly harbouring all of those sins
discreetly -- rarely to betray himself for the
rancid hypocrite that he is. A leader who
invites the entry to a country he labels racist
of immigrants, migrants and refugees viewing
them as potential workforce material for a
government urgently requiring upgraded income
in compensation for its lavish expenditures of
taxpayer funding while finding it convenient
to rid the country of the burden of citizens
no longer capable of contributing to the social
weal by extending to them the attractions of
state-assisted suicide. His vision of a post-
national country glorying in his imprimatur
of aggrandized nobility, a once-proud nation
winces in consternation and manages to endure.
