Writer and satirist, Craig Brown, better known perhaps amongst OnTheWight readers for his column in Private Eye, also contributes to the Daily Mail.
Last week, in his inimitable style, he imagined what the first 15 days of power might be like if Republican front-runner, Donald Trump, was voted into power this November.
“There’s something about the Isle of Wight I don’t like”
In the eyes of Craig Brown, Mr Trump has a busy start to his Presidentship. But by day seven it all gets a bit hairy (excuse the pun) for us lot on the Isle of Wight.
Day 7: President Trump declares war on the Isle of Wight. ‘The best way to deal with bullies is to hit them before they get a chance to hit you. And you know what? There’s something about the Isle of Wight I don’t like. It’s too peaceful, too quiet. You and I know that means only one thing: something’s up.’
Too peaceful? Too quiet? That’s the kind of backhanded compliment we love.
How the Daily Mail ran it.
