Apparently, she hates it, which is as good a reason as any to keep using it; “Aunty Jack” that is. Aunty Jack irritates me. She irritates me with her constant fibs, her grandstanding, her unspoken, secretive agenda, her ‘Captain’s calls’.
The Prime Minister is refusing to confirm with reporters if she’ll attend the Morrinsville Intermediate School’s 50th anniversary (perhaps those journo’s should ring Women’s Weekly, they’ll know for sure), and one of the reasons cited is the dread of being reminded of her classroom nickname, ‘Aunty Jack’. Piffle.
Aunty Jack will be there because Aunty Jack, our reality-TV Prime Minister, loves the feels, she laps it up, doesn’t do hard stuff at all, but feels, baby; children, photog’s, news, fans, smiles, selfies, bring those on and Jack’s your Aunty, she’ll be there. Bet on it.
Anniversary’s are grand things. We are currently enduring the first anniversary of the Great Aunty Jack Re-set. Having lost the limelight when forced to cancel the Horncastle Misery-fest she would spend the week in pre-lockdown limbo consulting our best and brightest (Idea’s-people that is, not epidemiologists) as to what to do, how to ratchet up her vainglorious pedestal, preferring to pretend that she had been acting on the Covid threat when, in fact, as we all know, she, and her MOH cronies, had been distinctly playing the threat down; just ‘sneeze into your elbow’ and Jack’s your Aunty. No worries. Trust us, we know what we’re doing.
Bubbling away with the creatives was a slogan in the making, actually the re-making, gone would be ‘laid back – in keeping with the national character’ approach to the Covid threat, and in its place would be the utter fabrication ‘Hard and Early’. Hard. Early. Jack. Aunty. Yeah. Right.
Let’s drink to Aunty Jack Hardernearly! Heiress apparent to Lily the Pink – saviour of the human race – just as fake, and just as hyped.
