But other topics and whimsies are likely to keep cropping up too. This blog is closely related to the website mentioned below.

Double Vision

"In my view", said a politician on telly last month, "the situation will get worse and will deteriorate".

In fact, it will also become less satisfactory, won't get better, and offers no hope of improvement.  That just about sums it up. I hope you understand what the gentleman is getting at. Does he make himself clear, or would you like him to put it in some other way ?
