We here at Politics.bm have become quite concerned about the mental stability of our Premier.
We were watching the latest installment of the Alex Scott Media Charm Offensive (emphasis on the 'offensive') on ZBM last night, when we noticed that 'The Man' seems to have multiplied into 'The Men'.
We sprayed Diet Sunkist across our living room when we heard The Man repeatedly refer to himself as the collective 'we'. Most notably, we counted upwards of 5 instances of 'we' and one instance of 'us' in response to just the final two questions from interviewer Jim MacKey.
For example, Mr. MacKey asked how comfortable the Premier was in his position after a year and a half at the helm, to which The Men responded that 'much more than we were one, two or three days after taking over'.
We thought this might have been a slip of his forked-tongue until we heard it several more times, in elaborating on his answer. In fact we lost count. Cementing our concern, the Premier told Mr. Mackey that he was 'pleased you could spend some time with us'.
We spent the night ruminating over the expansion of the Premier into a plurality, and can offer the following potential explanations:
1) The Cabinet Office is situated over Mount Doom, the Premier is in reality a hobbit formerly known as Smiegal, who refers to Independence as 'My Preciouuussssssssss'.
2) That Alex Scott might be just one personality of the multi-personalitied Sybil Scott, as wonderfully captured in the 1970s/80s film 'Sybil'.
3) That we live in the Matrix, ergo we're all slaves to the artificially intelligent architect. Alex Scott is Agent Smith and Grant 'Neo' Gibbons might be The One capable of resetting the Matrix.
4) That puppet-master Ewart Brown was discreetly crouched behind the plush stripey chair that was gobbling up our posturely-challenged Premier, whispering the answers to him, in a low tech version of the Bush Bulge.
Our concern is genuine and we'll stay tuned for further developments in the Lives and Times of Alex Scott.
