A Future Fair For All

[Nemonymous]

"A future fair for all" is the Labour Party's catchphrase in the forthcoming UK General Election.

Does this mean we're going to be treated with dodgems, carousels, helter-skelters, sideshows, Punch and Judy puppet shows...?
If so, my vote is theirs!

Freak shows?

"Cold chips, Missus?"

Politics seems to be one of the ultimate sideshows, whatever the country.

[Mr. D.]

"The only way to look at politicians is down." "A politician is an animal which can sit on a fence and keep both ears to the ground." "A good politician is as unthinkable as an honest burglar." "A national political campaign is better than the best circus ever heard of, with a mass baptism and a couple of hangings thrown in." H. L. Mencken

A hung parliament - seems apt regarding the fair's puppet shows.

Seriously, this ambiguity of a 'future fair for all' would be avoided if they had used 'a future fair to all''? Meanwhile, many envision loud slowly spinning merry-gordons ... and strung or stilted clowns stalking our nightmares. Hair knotted with many ligotti.

During the summer, neighborhoods usually have them on alternating weekends. I enjoy wandering the compass and looking for inspiration. The conscious world evolving into a perpetual Fair would be a wonderful place, but only if it was grim and even more frightening than it is now.
