Tis the time of year again when The Wasp stretched his wings and heads North to spend Christmas far away from work in Estonia where it is decidedly colder than England was yesterday morning. Whilst not averse to a bit of cold, going from plus 12 to minus 16 in the same day needs more than a little antifreeze adding to the bloodstream!

So, while I head off for a few much needed stiffeners, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and will leave you with this little snippet which I think describes exactly what a miserable state we have managed to get ourselves into :

“Ineptocracy”

 A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing numbers of producers.
