I walked up my hill under a bright blue sky with the sun dazzling my eyes. It was warm again! At least eleven degrees! What is going on? This is mid-January. This highly changeable weather is just weird.
Back home I’ve been playing some haunting melodies from Fionn Regan and editing my Beefheart book. Slow progress. Each sentence is carefully analysed. Each paragraph dissected. Diminuendo and nuance, flow and grammar. Require total concentration. But I’m getting there. I just need a new brain. I’m wearing this one out.
Meanwhile, out in Coronaland, the Tories are launching a ‘charm’ offensive. I know, it’s impossible to think of Tories and charm in the same sentence. What they really mean is that they are going to try to produce a slew of headline-grabbing populist initiatives that will appeal to the stupid and distract from the illegal parties.
They have two major operations. ‘Operation Save Big Dog’ will be coordinated to:
a. Try to pass off Johnson’s law-breaking, lies and deficiencies as minor indiscretions that he has fully apologised for, are nowhere near as bad as made out and have now been rectified.
b. To beef up his wondrous achievements in getting Brexit done and dealing with Covid.
c. Extolling his great leadership qualities in getting the vaccination, leading us through a pandemic and making Britain great again.
d. Making out that the opposition (Starmer) are just as guilty.
e. Using populist distraction tactics.
None of this will wash with me or anybody else with a shred of intelligence.
a. Johnson is an inept, lying scumbag who breaks the law, regularly lies to the public, parliament and the Queen and is a lazy bastard who is never on top of anything.
b. He’s negotiated an appalling Brexit that has damaged and weakened the country. We have one of the worst records on Covid due to his useless policies, or lack of them.
c. As a leader he’s a total bumbling clown who puts his foot in it on every occasion. He blusters, lies, makes things up and disappears to hide in fridges. Leadership?? He doesn’t know the meaning. He’s a chump who nobody in their right mind would follow.
d. A don’t think that being in a room with a constituent colleague carrying out zoom meetings and having a break for a sandwich and a pint is anything like having numerous parties with party games, suitcases of booze and nibble. One’s a work meeting, the others are illegal parties. They are desperate!!
e. Setting the navy patrolling the channel to catch immigrants is going to solve nothing. What will they do with them when they’ve caught them? They’ll bring them back to Britain. I think we’ll see a bunch of these stupid harebrained ideas geared to distracting us.
Then there’s ‘Operation Red Meat’. That refers to a cull. They are going to cynically throw a whole bunch of civil servants to the wolves as if it was all their faults. They are to be the scapegoats – as many as it takes to satisfy the public.
Of course, the main culprit will be exonerated. Johnson is never guilty. He lies, cheats and fucks up and other people (like Nazanine Zagari-Radcliffe) pay the price.
The truth is that we have a serial liar, shambling loathsome wreck of a philanderer, incompetent lazy bumbler and cynical entitled profiteer in charge. He needs kicking out! In fact, his law-breaking apology for a prime minister needs locking up. He’s not just a scoundrel; he’s a criminal responsible for billions of pounds of illegal purloining of public funds (illegal allocating of PPE contracts) and thousands of unnecessary deaths through his inept covid policies.
As a ‘leader’ he has set the tone for the malaise that has seized Whitehall. His law-breaking liaise-affair attitude is responsible for this atrocious decline of standards.
This bunch of nationalistic Tories must surely be the most heinous arrogant slimeballs we’ve ever put in power.
Somehow we have to survive two years with these self-serving bastards in charge.
To cheer me up Novaxx Jokerrich looks as if he will be banned from the French Open too! Good riddance too! When you are a role model who is responsible for deaths (idiots copy him) then you pay the price.
Personally, I hope they save ‘Big Dog’ (should be ‘obese sewer rat’), he’s a liability, and that the ‘red meat’ thrown to the stupid electorate includes profiteering scumbags like the loathsome, arrogant Rees-Mogg.
So, yesterday the number of new cases dropped to 84,429 with 88 deaths. But that was the weekend and there are no testing kits to be had so I take those stats with a pinch of salt.
The cabinet is desperate to lift all restrictions. Plan B will be scrapped to save Boris. They court popularity from morons regardless of the outcomes.
The scientists warn that new variants are on the way. Why don’t Gove, Rees-Mogg and Johnson reap the rewards of their actions?
We can but hope!!
Stay safe!!
