My little Gnudren,
Old Gnu and Mrs. Gnu are on holiday in the “Land of my Fathers” at Freshwater East on the Pembrokeshire Coast. He has been fact finding.
Mr. Johnson lives here, (at the time of writing) …. Yes, yes, I know it’s taken Old Gnu a long time to discover this, but hang in there for a moment…)
Mr. Johnson lives behind big bars. Obviously, most people think he is safer there.
Mrs. Murrell/ Ms. Sturgeon lives here:
…. behind smaller bars.
Mr. Drakeford lives in Pontcanna, Cardiff. Here is a picture of his house.
There aren’t any bars here. Obviously, the Welsh people don’t think Mr. Drakeford needs to be put behind bars. And he will not need to move out when he stops being the First Minister of Wales, because, unlike Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Murrell, he lives in his own house. He must be very very rich. What do you expect? After all he was a probation officer once.
On recent radio comedy shows there have been a number of jests about the sincere apologies our honourable prime minister has been making during the past months. On one show, to be even handed, the script writers also included a confession from Mr. Drakeford. The confession was that Mr. Drakeford said he had once picked up a packet of biscuits in a supermarket and then decided not to buy it. So he put it back on the wrong shelf because he didn’t want to go back to the shelf he got it from. He apologised and resigned. No confessions where concocted from Mrs. Murrell /Ms. Sturgeon. Obviously, script writers regarded her as no laughing matter.
And now some facts about sheep. From research done by Cambridge University we know that Sheep are highly intelligent. They can remember a human face for up to 2 years and whether that human was kind or cruel to them. They know who they are safe with. “Sheep are a prey species, and their only defence is to flee. Sheep display an intensely gregarious social instinct that allows them to bond closely with other sheep… Herd/Flock mentality movements protect individuals from predators.”
Proportionally there is a lot of Ovine intelligence around in Wales. 10 million sheep in Wales, and only 3.15 million people.
Unfortunately, the proportion of Ovine to Human intelligence is much lower in England, 15.4 million sheep and 56 million humans. And alas we show no signs of an increase in Ovine intelligence. Perhaps that is because we don’t feel under threat at the moment. Scotland: 6.73 million Ovines, 5.5 million Humans.
It’s wonderful what you learn on holiday.
Enjoy the climate change.
