The Corona Diaries – Day 627

Loads warmer today!! This morning I was up in Teeside with my daughter, walking in the park. We ate in a restaurant. It was an early Christmas visit!! Who know3s what the next month holds??

Meanwhile, out in Coronaland at last the teflon is wearing thin and our clown is covered in manure and it’s not sliding off.

I think there has been one too many gates!! We’ve had Brexitgate, Irishbordergate, Fishinggate, Farmergate, Bordergate, Afghanistangate, Wallpapergate, Cronygate, Covidgate, Powergate, Petrolgate, HGVgate, Lyinggate, Torydonorgate, Secondjobgate, Revolvingdoorgate, Peeragegate, Socialcaregate, Lawbreakinggate, Taxgate and Partygate. I’ve probably missed quite a few!!

Brexit – a bunch of nationalists lied about how great it was all going to be!! It is becoming apparent that it was a complete disaster.

He lied about the Irish border.

He lied about the fishing and farming. Fishermen are going out of business. The loss of labour has meant crops rotting in fields and soaring prices.

He lied about keeping our borders secure and taking back control.

Covid mismanagement with one of the worst death-rates and hardest hit economy.

He made a complete ballsup of getting our Afghan helpers out.

He lied about the massive rises in power.

He lied about the huge increases in petrol. Brexit was going to make it cheaper!

He lied about the Tory donors paying for his refurbishment.

He lied about tariffs and HGV drivers – putting costs up and shortages on shelves.

He lied about cash for questions, lobbying and peerages for donors.

He lied about the revolving door and massive salaries for lobbying and disclosing secrets.

He lied about plans for Social Care and then taxed the poor.

He broke international law, law of the land and parliamentary rules.

He lied about not putting up taxes.

We’re meant to be basking in the sunny uplands with free tariff-free trade and no red-tape, secure borders and £350 million aq week for the NHS!!

What we’ve got is tariffs, queues, extra costs, slow delivery, rising prices, shortages, delays and massive job losses. Not quite what were promised. Where are all these wonderful lucrative trade deals?? Nowhere to be seen.

Now we have parties taking place during lockdown in his own house that he doesn’t know about.

Hasn’t this clown and his ‘gathering’ of extremists caused enough damage? They’ve certainly put billions into the pockets of their chums – and themselves. How much has Rees-Mogg made out of Covid and Brexit (to the nearest million)??

The saga of incompetence continues as our clown addresses the nation to tell us that the ‘irreversible’ is to be reversed! What a plonker!!

So yesterday there were another 54,073 new cases with 132 deaths!! Not looking good!!

Omicron is starting to go mad with another 1239 new cases.

Our Track and Trace is performing as usual. Obviously needs another £37 billion!!

As if the virus isn’t bad enough we have the prospect of our clown addressing us. No doubt he will tell us not to party!! To wear facemasks!! To socially distance!!

We will be regaled with a belated Plan B. Should have been in a week or two back.

We’re heading for Plan C. Now as I remember it:

Plan A – ignore it

Plan B – pretend it isn’t happening and only affects foreigners

Plan C – Panic, flap around and hand out billions to Tories to make things that don’t work.

Plan D – find scapegoats for the deaths, job losses and disasters

As we can see – they actually practice what lies to tell to the public. ‘What do we say about parties, nibbles, party games, alcohol etc. ??” ” Legal gatherings, work-related, no covid rules were broken.”

“But will they swallow that?????”

“They’ll swallow anything!!!”

So as we head towards Christmas Is see that we are moving to Level 4. They will be more hospitalisations than with any previous wave. The hospitals are full of the unvaccinated and they are predicting another 75,000 deaths.

The one good thing is that the Omicron variant may be less lethal. It looks like we’ll all catch it, as it is extremely transmissible, but the vaccines will work. It may kill off a lot but it might create herd immunity in those who remain.

As a triple vaccinated person I’m very confident.

Stay safe!! He’s on his way out!!
