Another day, another Boris Johnson farce to make a mockery of our nation.
We are just about old enough to remember 27th June when the PM bragged about fluorescent-jacketed chain gangs to punish anti-social behaviour while trying to control an umbrella.
It did leave many people to wonder when he would be made to wear one of the luminous tops himself.
But even that wasn’t even the worst umbrella fiasco this week.
Yesterday the PM attended the unveiling of a permanent memorial for fallen UK police officers, a sad and poignant occasion.
The Prince of Wales was also in attendance and he paid tribute to the “valour and sacrifice” of police officers and staff as a national memorial was dedicated to those who have “laid down their lives to keep us safe”.
He unveiled a plaque at the monument, which commemorates almost 5,000 police officers and staff who have died on duty – 1,500 from acts of violence – since half-brothers Henry and John Fielding established the Bow Street Runners in 1749.
While this was going on our esteemed PM was p*ssing about with an umbrella and basically making a mockery of the event, which meant so much to so many.
