I’m a bit knackered today! Having a grandchild to stay for two days is pretty full-on. I’ve played so many games of Candyland that I( don’t think I ever want to see it again, let alone play it!!
We’ve been to Bridlington, walked along the beach in the sunshine and ate ice cream on the front!!
Meanwhile, out in Coronaland, it feels as if we are in a hiatus. Our slippery lying Prime Minister is playing for time. He’s hanging by a thread and throwing everything he can at it. The Met need taking to court!!!
Over the next few weeks we’ll probably find him chucking money right left and centre.
There’ll be lots of ‘Levelling Up’ money chucked at the ‘Red Wall’ seats (all for show – none of it will make a lot of difference).
There’ll be money shoved at the ‘Cost of Living’ to show that, despite everything we know about greedy Tories, they really care about us plebs.
There’ll be money chucked at the ‘Care Home’ problem. Far too little, far too late.
Of course, the tax hikes and National insurance hikes will go ahead. They really don’t mind robbing from the poor. These are long-term.
Who will pick up the bill for splashing the cash?? It’ll be more debt for the future. They’ve been borrowing like mad (most of the billions either wasted or going to Tory chums). Oh how they crucified Corbyn for his proposed levels of borrowing.
The red meat is being thrown.
Next week, when the Sue Green report finally sees the light of day they’ll start wrecking the careers of a multitude of civil servants.
The huge price rises in food, petrol, gas, oil and gas which have sent the cost of living through the roof and sent inflation soaring will be blamed on the EU, or global reasons. It was predicted when Brexit was being discussed. They called it Project Fear. Well, Project Fear has all become Project Reality.
Brexit has cost us tens of billions. It has driven up prices and done huge damage. But these lying nutcases will never admit that they lied!!
For some this extra cost and inflation is worth it. At least let them be honest. The cost of Brexit will be paid over generations. We have wrested control back from those unelected EU bureaucrats and put it in the hands of a bunch of Public Schoolboy, toffee-nosed profiteers. It makes me quite nostalgic for those EU bureaucrats. These greedy Tories are so much more extreme and worse.
Oh for collaboration instead of this xenophobic isolation.
Where are all these wonderful trade deals? We were told the world would be queuing up!! Liars.
I bet we’re going to get a lot more about Ukraine. War is always a great distraction from any national issues!
I’m sick of all these Tory lies that have been trotted out this last week. Every singly Tory has been saying the same thing. I can imagine the meeting to ‘Save The Big Dog’ where they all decided what needed saying that would throw the electorate into confusion.
According to them Johnson is a great leader who has made all the right calls and got Brexit done. Which planet are they living on??
So yesterday there were either 62,399 or 72,143 new cases – depending on which sites you access. There were either 296 or 85 more deaths!!
With it hard to get hold of testing kits I wonder how accurate anything can be??
There is a huge difficulty in sorting out numbers of deaths. There have been 178,000 deaths – except that is probably an underestimate. It drives me nuts when idiots come out with stupid stats – like saying that only 17,000 have died from Covid. Plain stupid!!
Covid rarely kills on its own. It causes major problems with internal organs. It damages heart and lungs, kidneys and brain. It kills people with diabetes, asthma or immune problems. Death certificates will record the secondary reasons – asthma attack, heart attack and all manner of other problems – but they are all really Covid. Sometimes these deaths occur long after covid.
I see that Harry and Megan have joined Neil Young and Joni Mitchell in attacking Spotify for putting out false info on covid vaccination. That’s strange because I didn’t know that Harry and Meghan had a back catalogue on Spotify!
I’m definitely not using Spotify!! We’ve got more than enough fake news from the right-wing internet and Tories. I don’t need more!!
Stay safe!! Avoid Spotify! Shun those right-wing internet sites spewing Trumpist shit!! Don’t buy that propaganda newspapers!!
