Return To Lockdown 9: Thus Ends Lockdown 2's First Week

A strange little bald man got into trouble in the government. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was Dominic Cummings again, though his fingerprints are all over the situation. No, it was some other little Tory weirdo. Is there a factory that spews out these creepy little oddballs? One after the other; a production line of antisocial monsters who view society as some grotesque experiment. They are like Q from Star Trek. Not omnipotent, but powerful nonetheless. Playing games with the rest of us like broken toys.

Is there a chance Cummings could be goings? I really don't know. Anything's possible right now. These are febrile times and uncharted territory. I don't really believe Johnson is politically long for this world. Perhaps he'll cling on like Trump, albeit without the result of an election. Perhaps he too will end his career sandwiched between a porn shop and a funeral directors shouting at clouds like that bizarre little gnome working for Trump.

According to Micro-President Macron, of Le French, Biden will make our planet great again. Isn't that nice. A 77 year old neoliberal has the power of the gods, apparently, and Monsieur Macron is only to happy to kowtow in such a meaningless way. Biden does have power....in January (god knows how many more Americans will have died by then), but of course Macron is essentially celebrating the rise of another capitalist orthodox operator. Business as usual, salut!

Yeah, no.

This is how Trump types win. It will be four years of business as usual, like I said, and the working class will be screwed over. It will be exactly the same over here. There's every chance Starmer could win the next election, but by 2024 the Tories will likely win. You cannot out-Tory the Tories. If you try you do so at the cost of the working class who already lent Johnson the red wall. Why would they go back to the racists at the Labour party? Starmer is bending over backwards to be perpetually sorry for the minority of cranks in the party, but the more he tries to appease, the more of his blood they will want - and he'll happily offer up the vein.

There's no future in these people. Look at how far to the brink they have brought us already. Meanwhile the risk here is that the government will use the potential for a vaccine - far from decided - to abrogate its responsibilities and district from its ongoing mismanagement. Day after day it's just one more example of corruption. If I read another article about that bloody Baroness Harding I will scream blue bloody murder. But it won't matter because, and ably supported by the screaming media, desperate for a normal Christmas, there's a vaccine on the way. Happy birthday Jesus, here's your corporate capitalist multinational medicine deal. Now look over there while we quietly bury all the evidence of how tragically we fucked up the economy and people's lives.

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...
