The Ambridge Socialist
Reporting on the class struggle in Borsetshire
25th August
The Ambridge Trust
It would appear that Peggy and her Operating Officer Lilian are moving towards making a decision on who should get the money. On Friday those who have been ‘selected’ for the shortlist made presentations on their bids. Wrangles continue in one section of the Archer dynasty as Pip continues to try to back two different bids.
No decision of course was made on Friday and neither was there a real indication about when this would be.
A reminder that this is a battle for the succession amongst Ambridge’s ruling class. The decision on the money may lead to future feuds.
In qualified defence of Susan Carter
After Neil called out Susan as someone who was unable to keep a confidence she has sought counsel from Chris (her son) who has agreed that she is not a ‘gossip’ but simply someone who is interested in what happens in the world, and in particular Ambridge.
‘Gossip’ is a term often applied in a sexist way to women who speak out or voice their views. To this extent the Ambridge Socialist defends Susan. That said Susan’s views are rarely progressive and perhaps some caution might be exercised by herself when commenting on Ambridge life.
Now its comrade Jim
The saga of the Bull’s quiz roles on with Lynda and Prof. Jim apparently in a Brainboxes team. During the course of a discussion about whether the team needed a captain this week Lynda determined that Jim was a ‘comrade’. This is a word rarely heard in Ambridge but the appearance of Johnson as Prime Minister will probably see it used more often.
