According to the Guardian half a million people in the last week had Covid. I don't see how lockdown is avoidable at this point, in the twilight of this crappy year. It also turns out that, despite his best efforts to show us how great a leader he might be, Rish Sunak's insipid 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme (only a banker could be so uninspired) has actually made things worse. I find that hilarious in a dark way. Dark are the ways we have left to us unfortunately. We're doing worse than the predictions suggested.
I say we, I mean this government. They seem intent on just adding more tiers, rather than initiate a full lockdown. Perhaps because they know doing so would end them. Maybe that's a bit premature, certainly the push back would be tremendous. Sadly in practice I just don't see it making much difference, the good will is spent. The blood is spent. People are tired and exhausted. We do not have leadership, just corruption. Endless, boring, tedious, tiring, corruption. It never ends.
Fortunately Boris, aided by his dullard girlfriend, have publicly praised the NHS. That's the same they've been trying to sell off for the last ten years. I don't care they saved his worthless stupid life. He doesn't get to say this. These are empty words from a liar and a crook, in Minecraft!
And real fucking life!
(Or just minecraft :D)
Wither Jeremy Corbyn? What a year for it all to end. He's been an MP for three decades and possibly more. Yet, in the gutter of civilisation, under the sentinel gaze of the cruellest Tory government he's known, he's thrown to the wolves. By his own party.
They've not expelled him yet. Perhaps this is worse. A bit like the legend of the Samurai handed a wooden sword and denied the right of ritual suicide. Denied that honour. He won't leave though; they'll have to throw him out. Not that they care about his constituents of course. His crime was, it seems, agreeing with the outcome of the report. Don't speak your mind, that's the real crime in a political party. You can threaten to stab your leader in the front. You can call him all the names under the sun. But you can't rock the boat. Isn't that sad.
Of course the Tories are laughing like giddy hyenas over this. Further removing from them the spotlight on their own indiscretions. I don't say this to justify Labour's failings, but if you're going to take the issue of racism in politics seriously - and you should - then ought you not investigate all political parties? Wouldn't you welcome your own party being investigated? After all, as the authoritarians say: if you've nothing to hide...
That Tory closet is full of skeletons we know that. Just look at dopey thug Ben Bradley's twitter feed this last week or two. His response to the proposition that we should ensure kids don't starve is to double down on racist stereotypes by invoking cultural marxism. A spectre invented to smear Jews, calling them a rotten influence in society. There are no reds under the bed, Ben, just your bigotry, and that's going in the closet as well.
