There’s probably a few of you who were a little surprised there hasn’t been a Rant on these pages since my return, be it about the local council elections last week or the Coronation (or maybe even a themed playlist for the latter).
Well, there would have been one/the other/both had I got my life/work balance a bit more sorted. I imagine you can guess my thoughts on both, however.
It was a conscious decision not to write anything about the elections, as my previous form has been nothing short of Tottenham-esque: shockingly bad. I figured the issue of needing to provide photographic ID to fulfil your right to vote wasn’t going to go away before the big one next year: it can wait.
And as for the Coronation, well, let’s just say that for the first time in I-don’t-know-when, my TV was not switched on to see what was being broadcast on Saturday morning. I already knew that wall-to-wall brown-nosing would be in bountiful supply, I didn’t need to engage in it in anyway whatsoever.
Until now.
For now the feminine hygeine fan and expensive cracker salesman has his nice new shiny hat, I can post this oft-forgotten beauty, which has a guest appearance from Stevie Wonder (who also produced it). He would be a far more appropriate recipient of the orb and sceptre. King Stevie has a certain ring to it, no?
