Another warmish day but much cloudier. I went for a walk up my hill. I needed some peace!!
Sometimes everything seems to go wrong at the same time. My energy switch is looking like a disaster. They’ve refused to take on my gas transfer because they erroneously say that my consumption is too high.
My TV has gone down. I cannot link to the hub for streaming.
My fitbit bust.
All this requires literally hours on the phone. You are put on hold for over an hour only to be shunted over to a different department and start all over again!!
Life used to be easy!! One gas provider. One electricity provider. One water provider. One TV licence. You just paid your bills. Now you have to spend hours sorting who to renew with. Now it’s all become complex. This competition was supposed to provide better service and make things cheaper!! Ha Ha. It is just a means of putting more money in very rich peoples’ pockets.
I’m sick of listening to Muzak and talking to people who don’t know how to solve the problem!! BT and all energy companies should be disestablished!!!
Sick of it!!
Meanwhile, out in Coronaland, out sleazy clown is up to his usual tricks trying to persuade people that he’s the man who gets things done!
What a load of bollocks!!
He got Brexit done so badly it’s costing us a staggering £30 Billion a year.
He got Covid dealt with so badly that we’ve got one of the worst-hit economies and highest death rates.
We are now having to write off an incredible £9.4 billion of useless PPE because they put those untendered contracts out to their chums instead of firms that could do it properly.
We’ve had £4.5 billion written off because they dolloped out our money to firms that didn’t exist.
Then there’s useless apps, T&T and other ‘world-beating initiative’ which didn’t work and cost tens of billions!!
We’ve got billionaires making huge sums from profiteering and poor people starving.
Food banks are our biggest growth sector!!
These profiteering sleazy fools think we are stupid!!
Doing a good job??? Getting things done????
You must be kidding.
Now we’ve got promises of ‘Levelling up’ and solving ‘Care’. I’m not holding my breath. All a distraction!!
So, yesterday there were another 86,854 new cases in this pandemic that is supposedly over!! We had another 534 deaths!! Great eh??
The estimate is worse than this – they reckon we’re running at around 200,000 cases a day. It is rising in all age groups.
We have a fifth vaccine coming on line – developed on a different principle.
We need to vaccinate the world!! 3.5 million doses are sitting in UK fridges and are going to be dumped because they are past their sell-by date!! They could have gone to 3rd world countries and saved many lives as well as making the world safer. If we are going to defeat the virus and stop more variants emerging we need to vaccinate everyone!
We already have a new Omicron variant taking off!! It’s very contagious!!
Stay safe!! The incompetent clown is juggling with our futures!!
Opher – We had the same fiasco when changing our supplier as well. It is immensely frustrating to say the least, and a complete waste of time hanging on the phone, but the effort is worth it when savings can be made. I hope you managed to get it all sorted.
I see that four of BoJo’s aides have resigned, so at least some of the swamp is being drained! I wonder if they were asked to go by the clown…big names toppled in the wake of Partygate will no doubt appease many, but not all who wait for BoJo to go. Cummings reckons Murza’s resignation is an indication the No.10 bunker is collapsing around the clown. I’ve got no complaints with that! Could it be that the golden total of 54 letters needed for a no confidence vote will now soon to be met?
MP’s are furious at BoJo’s smear of Starmer at suggestion the Labour leader personally failed to prosecute Saville. Even in the cut and thrust of politics, an aside such as that isn’t tolerated. BoJo’s comment could be the straw that all but seal’s his coffin. Perhaps the final nail will be hammered in courtesy of either the Met or Gray, or both?
Agreed, the refrigerated vaccines nearing their shelf-life should have already been sent to nations struggling, or without vaccines, to help get their citizens jabbed. Realistically, the world is not safe from Covid until we’ve all been vaccinated. What a waste of precious resource if it is binned!
I’m still staggered by the £9 billion written-off for PPE procurement! It is such a huge sum of money to waste. And to think they’re putting up taxes and robbing benefit claimants, to help pay for money given away to cronies awarded PPE contracts, either through the VIP lane, or via normal procurement routes. I get that prices for PPE then and now are different, but to have received PPE of inadequate quality suggests no-one was on-top of their brief. Did they not check with the supplier to ensure it met standard before buying it?
What is the new Omicron variant taking off? I thought the WHO suggested a longer ceasefire period with Covid? Oh well, we’d better make the best of the new normal before the next calamity!
DN
No I’m still being shunted around and don’t actually have a supplier! I’m still receiving gas though! I don’t know what I’m paying for it!! I think I’ve got a few more hours listening to muzac!
It is heartening to see his aides jumping ship. I think three of them jumped before they were pushed but Mirza was an important one. She was furious about the stupid Saville jibe and that Johnson wouldn’t apologise for it. She was the brains behind Johnson. They are four important positions and he’s going to be rudderless.
I think the unused vaccines and billions wasted are all part of the same thing – they are careless and don’t care. It’s not their money. They can get away with it and can’t be bothered.
This new Omicrom variant appears even more contagious but quite mild. Most probably a good thing. Might help us reach herd immunity without many deaths.
