BFFs

So the White House announced that my phone has never and will never be hacked. Cheers guys. I’d say it’s the mark of a real friend to know that they absolutely won’t hack your phone. Rebecca Brookes take note please.

I mean obviously there is some concern that they have to reassure you of it in the first place but let’s not get too fixated on that. It’s like when you find out your friend has done something to another friend that you’re sort of uncomfortable with but you don’t say anything because they didn’t do it to you. And then next time you all hang out as a group it’s just awkward because everyone’s aware of what’s happened and you can’t move past it until everyone signs a written statement saying they will try to rebuild trust. We’ve all been there, am I right?

Of course most friendship groups aren’t also massive economic markets on the endless verge of collapse, so the analogy sort of breaks down a bit at this point. Having said that, the Common Agricultural Policy is sort of like working for an organic veg company and giving your friends ‘mates rates’. Anyway, I prefer to stick with the metaphor because, quite frankly, it makes everything seem a lot less scary.
