The Week in the Ton – 20 April to 26 April


Dearest Gentle Reader,

What a week it has been. This Author finds herself quite thoroughly exhausted, though whether from the sheer volume of scandal or the bewildering nature of its variety remains a matter of some debate. Allow This Author to illuminate the patterns beneath the chaos, for chaos there most certainly has been.

The week commenced with Monday’s most eventful proceedings, wherein our Prime Minister demonstrated a certain nervousness before his peers. By Tuesday’s troubling affairs, one observed that common thieves had graduated from petrol pumps to automobiles – a most depressing trajectory of ambition. Wednesday through Friday brought forth a veritable parade of financial impropriety, with Thursday’s revelations of suspicious commerce and Friday’s disgraced financiers painting a most unflattering portrait of governance.

Yet the week’s crescendo has been nothing short of extraordinary. Saturday’s constitutional machinations have been eclipsed only by Sunday’s singular collection of absurdities – wherein a stuffed kangaroo has become more useful to the nation’s diplomacy than several ministers combined.

This Author merely observes and reports. You may draw your own conclusions.

Yours in bewilderment,
This Author
