"UK to be Superpower" & other Starmerite nonsense
Those few very-longtime readers we still attract, might recall I spent a while on business in The Gambia a decade ago, and very educational it was, too. One of the things I learned was that by the time of roundabout now (i.e. 2025) The Gambia would have become an *Economic Superpower*. Sic! You can read about it here, in this rambling presidential state-of-the-nation address of the time from His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh Babili Mansa.
And what a state the nation was in! (E.g. no ‘phones in my “4-star” Sheraton, no reliable electricity, etc etc.) But I think his noble mission has failed. He’s no longer around to carry the can, however: he was deposed shortly afterwards in an unusually peaceful coup.
Which brings us to Starmer, Reeves, Miliband, and their curious brand of self-aggrandizing nonsense. First, you recall, we are to become a “Clean Energy Superpower” – by 2030, I believe. That’s without having a manufacturing base for solar panels, wind turbines, even steel these days (can we still manage concrete?), nor a workforce of adequate skills or size. Perhaps “clean-energy-equipment importing superpower“? But it doesn’t have quite the same grandiose ring, does it? Everyone in the government photo (from the link above) seems to think it’s pretty funny, and I’m sure we all get the joke.

| What, and defence too? Minister, stop, I’ll wet myself!! |
Anyhow, not satisfied with this newly-minted aspirational status, we are also now to become a “Defence Industrial Superpower”! And that, too, without, errr, a manufacturing base for chips, steel, … etc etc.
Amazing stuff. I am sure the rest of the world’s minor powers are shaking in their boots. With laughter. Meanwhile, our bold triumvirate of superpower-mongers might care to study the fate of his Gambian Excellency.
