Weekend or Us 1: Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting...the Class War!

So that Trump's a right laugh! Gets out of hospital, coughs his way through an interview with - of all people - Sean Hannity who couldn't persuade the Orange Virus to divulge if he'd been given the all clear. Meanwhile Tucker Carlson, the king of concern trolling - openly verbalises stunning (and of course confected) credulity at the existence of obesity. As if you could live in America and be unaware of the phenomena of obesity. A country raised on junk food!

Now, he doesn't want a second debate. 

Correction. He doesn't want one over the telephone wires. This is because he can't bully and gaslight "sleepy Joe". Well ain't that a shame. His tactic is therefore clear; hector the guy until you, hopefully, throw him off his stride. Then get that soundbite where it looks like he's dysfunctional and boom. Victory, hopefully.

It's a pretty crappy tactic, but that's what you can expect from a narcissist self entitled liar and bully. If it  wasn't clear by now that's what he is, well you can just watch the first debate. Assuming you can stand the dishonesty. I don't think he said one thing that was true throughout. In fact he's so dishonest I'd have to double check Joe Biden's own name.

That's your president folks; leader of the free world. Now with added medicinal supercharge. Like the biological six million dollar man. Pumped up on steroids and experimental drugs with names so bizarre you'd think they were an eighties rave act. How long can this last? When will his skin stop glowing? At some point what's left of him is going to just expire, like a balloon with the (poison) air let out. A fart and a whimper leaving naught but a withered husk. DNA stitched together by necrotic bigotry. Meanwhile he'll be attending rallies like President Pepe Le Pew, stinking out the place with Eau De Covid. Mask up, for the love of god.

Extreme poverty is set to rise this year, for the first time in twenty years. Pushing up to 115 million people into desperation. By some frightening coincidence, billionaires are now almost 700 dollars richer. Ill gotten gains - literally.

Of course it's not a coincidence. It is exactly how capitalism works. This isn't a roll of the dice, it's the direct consequence of conditions that have been set up and tweaked by the rich to benefit the rich over the decades. All to ensure they profit. Those that make that profit may well join that 115 million. The idea that we can all end up like Jeff Bezos, an inhuman corporate zombie, is pure propaganda. 

Rishi Sunak is promising more furlough fun: two thirds of your wage if you can't keep doing your job because of the disease his government are ignoring. How are people already on poverty pay or the minimum wage (which may well be the same thing) supposed to manage with less? Why can't they be paid their full wage? Why must we even continue the charade of wage labour when, very clearly, it isn't enough to live on. 

Now, when you need them msot, they want you to live on less.

I'm Back!

Years and years ago, before anyone had ever heard of disease and pandemics, I started this blog. I gave it a stupid name from an Alan Partri...
