All bright and sunny in Yorkshire and the temperature rose to giddy heights – probably hitting 7 or 8 degrees!
I’ve spent most of the day indoors listening to the Eels and editing my Captain Beefheart book.
No more shelf building or poster setting required; my room is finished – looking great!!
Had to laugh at Novaxx being kicked out of Australia. No privilege for the wealthy! They have to follow the same rules as everyone else. If you don’t get vaccinated you have to make the sacrifices. Tough. You don’t have the same freedoms as the vaccinated.
Meanwhile out in Coronaland ‘Operation Save The Big Dog’ is in full swing. The Tories have sorted out a narrative and will now set about creating a story to fool the public. Soon the propaganda machine will be in full swing. I’m expecting headlines in all the tabloids.
The spin will make us all feel dizzy.
Pretty soon we’ll see the light. Johnson will be heralded as the saviour of the nation. He single-handedly wrested Brexit from the hoary grip of the evil remainers who were going against the wishes of the people. He was valiant against Covid working day and night to produce vaccines and save us from the scourge of the plague. For safety reasons the government and civil servants often worked outside in the garden area while Johnson toiled in his office. Occasionally he would venture out in Churchillian splendour, like a conquering general, to rally the troops, urge them to greater efforts and thank them for their unstinting efforts.
These weren’t boozy parties as portrayed by the leftie media; these were working groups. The tireless politicians and civil servants were pushing themselves to the limits to deliver for the nation, save lives and keep everyone safe and secure. No effort was too great. They were responding to their magnificent leader. They needed sustenance while they worked. Who could begrudge them that?
Of course, if some of these working groups, all of which assiduously followed the regulations, had inadvertently exceeded the parameters of the law then that had to be addressed, some heads would roll. Johnson himself would oversee the cull of miscreants. No breaker of rules must be allowed to get away with it. That would include advisers and civil servants. The guilty had to go!
So, as soon as the Gray whitewash has been perused by Boris Johnson, Boris Johnson will know whether he has done anything wrong and will exonerate himself. No rules broken, no lies told, no deceiving of parliament, no breaking of codes, bending of rules. He will be the poor victim of an evil campaign.
I can see it all now.
The Tories are in a bit of a funk. They know that none of their nasty, grubby band of profiteers resonates with the little people. Johnson is the only one. For some reason they don’t see him as the shamling self-serving profiteer; their see the cynical philanderer and greedy entitled prick as good old cuddly Boris. They excuse him everything.
If they dump Boris and put Rishi in can they continue to fool the little people?
They are stuck. They either stay with a badly damaged Johnson (sounds painful) or go with an unknown millionaire profiteer that the public does not identify with as greatly. They certainly won’t see smarmy Rishi as a loveable rogue. What will they see him as? It’s a risk.
So for now they are looking to see if the rotting hulk that is Johnson can be floated. They are staring at annihilation at the polls.
Tough shit.
As for me, I’m hoping that the lies of the ‘Operation Save The Big Dog’ campaign is successful. I want Boris in charge. He is so incompetent and damaged that he’ll do immense damage to the whole Tory brand. He simply can’t hack the job of Prime Minister. That’s obvious.
Where is our invisible leader? When the going gets tough Johnson goes. He might well be hiding in a nearby fridge again!
Ha Ha!!
Aren’t we all sick of hearing on every news programme that representatives from the government were asked to attend but nobody was available. Never in the history of politics has a government been so unavailable. It’s a strategy. They know that if they appear they will be questioned and held to account. If they don’t appear there is a vacuum and no flames are fanned.
This is the most unaccountable government we have ever had. They avoid all questioning and never accept responsibility for any mistakes!!
I think that is totally undemocratic. This is verging on fascism.
So, yesterday there were (if the figures are to be believed – hardly any test kits available) another 81,713 new cases with 287 deaths.
Government ministers are saying that all restrictions could be lifted by the end of January. The Daily Mail says that forcing people (unnecessarily) back to the office is sociopathic. But, as every good Tory knows – money comes before the little people. They are the cannon fodder!
The scientists are predicting a big upsurge in Omicron in Spring as the vaccine immunity wanes.
We’ll see.
The good news is that in Texas they are developing a vaccine that is cheap and easy to produce. It could be rolled out around the world.
Vaccinating the whole world will stop the development of variants.
Stay Safe?? Is the end in sight??
