I’m a bit out of touch today! Is Johnson still there? I hope so!! He’s the best hope we have. Without his lies and incompetence, the Tories could be in power for ever!! They’d turn us all into peasants doffing our caps to the Lord of the Manor.
I’ve been to my writing group – exchanging a round of great stories, pulling the government apart and having a laugh. Back home I’ve been playing some David Gray and doing a lot of editing of the Beefheart book.
Meanwhile, out in Coronaland, the herd of swine are organising. They are all learning their lines so that they can repeat them for the media. The idea being that the more times something is said the more people believe it. It’s the Goebbels version of propaganganda.
It seems that the Tories want to move on. Johnson has said a heartfelt apology. We have to wait for Sue Gray to report to Johnson, for Johnson to read the report and decide if he’s done anything wrong and then to mercilessly sack lots of underlings. Job Done. We have to remind ourselves what a great job he’s done. He’s led us through Brexit. He single-handedly created a vaccine and administered. it to the whole country. He’s defeated the virus! He’s been tirelessly focussed. Now he just wants to get on with the job in hand – levelling up, fighting invasion from immigrants and getting the country back on its feet!! Land of Hope and Glory!!
My view is a little different.
Our clown of a leader is very sorry that he’s been caught lying and partying. He’s desperately sorry that he’ll lose his power and hence his influence and wealth.
He wants the Sue Gray greywash, reporting to him to exonerate himself!! He’s sure that he can excuse his own behaviour, tart it up with spin and blame it on others.
He thinks that if he sacks lots of innocent people the public will forgive him.
He has negotiated a disastrous Brexit that was so badly negotiated that it has caused mayhem, red-tape and spiralling costs.
He had absolutely nothing to do with the manufacture of vaccines. That was private companies who are making a killing.
He had absolutely nothing to do with the vaccination programme. That was the NHS that he and his chums have been cutting to the bone for twelve years and selling off to the Yanks.
The virus is far from defeated but for populist, political reasons he is lifting all restrictions.
He is providing a whole series of distractions – destroying the BBC (win win – they will no longer be held to account!), dealing with the threat of millions of immigrants and the imaginary levelling up of the country (a total farce). He thinks we are all fools who can be easily duped and have the memory of goldfish.
He’s not a Big Dog – more a Big Dog’s turd!
Will chucking red meat at the electorate work?
You know what? This time I think it won’t! Once people have seen him for the lying inept clown he really is it will be hard for them to go back to being duped!
The polls and council elections in May will probably see us being rid of him.
So, yesterday there were another 107,364 new cases with 359 more deaths.
Boris Johnson and his slimy government claim this is the end of the pandemic. In order to gain popularity they propose to end Plan B, remove all restrictions and send everyone back to the office.
Is this a sound scientific response? Or is this the Tory Party asking hundreds of thousands to die for Boris??
I think the latter. I think they are lifting restrictions despite the high levels of virus in order to try to save the clown’s career.
This is far too early. The virus is not reducing. A 100,000 cases a day could soon spiral up if restrictions are removed. But it seems that the future of Johnson as PM is more important than the lives of citizens.
So as Austria introduces mandatory vaccination and unvaccinated sportsstars are being banned from travelling, we are being sacrificed to improve the electorial chances of Tories.
Stay safe!! We’re the pawns!!
Opher – I’ve bought popcorn for last throes of the pitiful Partygate pantomime. It’s warming up nicely…Big Dog’s let the cats and dogs out, and there are more allegations of rule breaking and corruption for the audience to boo at. Boris always comes with boos.
It appears Sue Gray is coming to the end of her investigation and her report is anticipated next Tuesday. The Guardian suggested the possibility of BoJo making a statement later that day, to perhaps counter against Starmer at PMQ’s. Tuesday and Wednesday should be days to relish, but I’m quite certain the clown will lie, diminish, restrict, constrict, and strangle the truth in order to keep his job. He has not one shred of decency in him else he’d be gone already.
I’ll wager, the report in full will never see the light of day. Two or three key heads will roll – no doubt all have posts to go on to already in the deal – and a few civil servants will be disciplined, or fined, or both, whichever, whatever. Sufficient evidence will be passed to the MET to warrant their consideration, but after much consternation, it’ll be rejected, which will substantiate claims made by BoJo about no rule breaking. Of course he is exonerated. Sue Gray will melt back into the shadows from whence she emerged. Then it’s move on, nothing to see here.
Am I the only one who thinks Chris Whitty has gone a bit quiet since the statement on lifting of all restrictions was made? I’m with you on this one Opher…restrictions are being lifted to sate the appetite of rebellious Tory M.Ps. With the clown on the ropes, appeasing his party is his only play. It’s no real concession to a P.M who once said, ‘Let the bodies pile high.’
A phased lifting of restrictions would have been better, evermore so as workers return to the office. Government guidance will still suggest wearing a face covering in certain crowded public places like shops and supermarkets, and on public transport. I’d also like to see continued guidance for homeworking, which makes great sense environmentally, and lessens numbers in offices.
Does your writing group have a name Opher? And a website? Does it publish what is written? If not, why? Will the group end up in some fictitious story you’ll write one day?
Catch ya tomoz.

Well you’ve summed that up Dewin. It is a pantomime. I’m enjoying it too. Immensely damaging for these loathsome Tories. I just hope it’s all dragged out and bloody so that the mangled corpse of the Tory Party is forever buried!
I have two writing groups – The Beverley ERT Writing Group and The Hornsea Writing group. Neither of them have a website or publish though – though the Beverley group might put out a compendium of short stories soon. We’ll see.
