And onto today’s climate forecast,
where we can expect to see a prolonged spell of inaction,
interspersed with patches of hazy promises
across many areas.
Over Westminster and other centres of government,
a build-up of hot air will cause inactivity to soar
to record levels over the coming days,
in spite of the high pressure.
Elsewhere, a front of chronic misinformation
will sweep in from the east,
bringing with it a thick band of climate change deniers
and the chance of scattered falsehoods,
while powerful gusts of idiocy and ignorance
look set to blow across social media.
Outbreaks of ‘We just got on with it in 1976’
and ‘It’s called the British summer, mate’ are likely.
In summary: unsettling.

I miss the days when satire wasn’t just augmented reality.
Raining in my app
Apologies to Huddy Brolly
I should go out
To buy some bread
But there’s a problem
In my head
Cos it’s raining
Raining in my app
My window says
The weather’s fine
There’s washing hanging
On next door’s line
But it’s raining
Raining in my app
Oh mystery, mystery
How can I trust what I see
I tell myself
I won’t get wet
The sun is shining
It’s safe and yet
It’s raining
Raining in my app
