The little known role of the Hermes scarf in British politics:
L'Ivresse De L'Infini, L'Indomptable, and Le Redoutable
Yes, we have had another electoral upset! Obviously I have opinions about this, but I am somewhat ashamed of my Schadenfreude, and don't feel it appropriate to alert my readers to the nocturnal libations I have poured for the goddess Hybris:
"HYBRIS was the goddess or personified spirit (daimona) of insolence, hubris, violence, reckless pride, arrogance and outrageous behaviour in general. Her Roman name was Petulantia."
However, I do think it appropriate to draw my readers' attention to the role that Theresa May's scarf played in last Thursday's tragedy.
She wore it with a tomato-red suit, the same ensemble she had during her mug-up with Trump, the one were he held her hand rather longer than was called for - another disastrous occasion, and no doubt also causally enabled by the same scarf.
The villainous silk square is called L'Ivresse De L'Infini; it was issued by Hermes and designed by Zoe Pauwels. It refers to the madness, the vast incomprehensibility of the universe - a visual representation of the swirling atoms that form the chaos that is the universe. If one if full of ill will and in a mischievous mood, one might hide behind one's flawed command of the French language and translate the title of this scarf as 'Infinite Madness' - and that is exactly what I am doing here!
What were you thinking woman, wearing a scarf like that while 'negotiating' with Trump, or during a general election day? On occasions like that one should wear a masterful, dominating scarf - ideally, obviously, one depicting a nuclear submarine!
Since I have disabled comments on this blog there is no way you can argue this point, but it is surely unnecessary anyway - where I am right, I am right!
Look at the photos of the scarves below, and admit that I am so totally right!
Luckily I actually own these scarves, so I can provide photographic evidence below. By the way, if you are interested in the French nuclear submarines depicted below, try this link|:

I am still looking for the scarf that depicts Le Foudroyant ....
By the way, have you investigated Macron's ties lately?
