Blatherskite – personified?
“A blatherskite may either be noisy talker of blatant rubbish or the foolish talk or nonsense that such a person spouts.”
It has taken 30 odd hours (since P2 posted the latest Spence missive) for me to actually do my duty and read the wretched thing. I fetched the houseboat bucket – in the hope that with it being close and handy – I may not need it. Alas; even prepared as I was, in a sanguine frame of mind by the end of the first stanza I was glad of my foresight.
The words of such men as Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll sprang to mind – famous exponents of the art within 'Nonsense literature; main difference is, of course, they knew that 'nonsense' made sense: well mostly – it was however 'deliberate' considered and grammatically 'nice'. Not scary at all, more oft than not; humorous.
There is nothing whatsoever 'humorous' in the terrifying word salad tabled by Spence. There is no 'vision' and the way out of the conflated, nonredeemable legal nightmare CASA have created is simply not in the Spence knitting patterns. The time for pointless Motherhood statements came and went a decade ago; this season of delay, waffle and top cover for an out of touch crew will forge the coffin nails for a once flourishing industry . CASA costs much, much, many times more than industry can support; and for what? Who, apart from CASA is living in clover? Not too many industry operators is the right answer,
I have a mate, who has a mate who is a 'graphologist' for various agencies; character analysis through handwriting; I know Aunt Pru's tea leaf readings are in the same bucket; however; the Spence scrawled signature has been forwarded – and we shall see what our tame mystic makes of it. It matters not; my opinion is fully formed and supported by clearly defined evidence. How long can we go on like this? Its pathetic, fueled by fear of retribution and maintained by mind numbing, never ending liability and paperwork. It is unmitigated Bull-shit and it needs to stop. Yesterday would be great, but tomorrow will do.
Toot – bloody –(slightly cranky) toot.
