‘Is this a joke?’

Indignant ’til the end, even while being led away in handcuffs.

Ex-Prime Minister arrested. Sat in a jail cell next to an indicted ex-President. A pair of jokers.

Guilty of lies so obvious only the blinkered can’t see them.

Like a House of Cards, the weight of so much corruption and division has finally brought about their downfall, toppling in on themselves.

Of course, they will get away with it in the end.

And we have the nerve to look down on others and call them banana republics.

Will it change anything? In short, no.

In answer to his question – this is all one big joke.
