Return To Lockdown: And He's Out The Door!

That's ok mate, just leave the monkey to clear up your mess. 

The former organ grinder on his way out, and, as people have correctly pointed out, right before Brexit crash lands. 

What now Boris? Where are your mad ideas going to come from now? Johnson claims his Brexit position hasn't softened. Reality will take care of that and he will have no one to blame. He's on his own now. What this means for Gove isn't quite clear since, really, he and Dominic were the government. Johnson just gets to sit in the big boy chair and say stupid things.

Who will be left to take the blame for Brexit? Will that be the day that 'inexplicably' Mark Francois will return to continue his long missed grandstanding. His brazen parading of utter stupidity. Mogg won't be around, he'll have jetted off to some Corona-free (he hopes) tax haven. Like the enclave of the rich in a zombie apocalypse, where the elite sit quaffing whatever it is they quaff, playing golf while armed security bozos gun down anyone that starts coughing at the gate.

Johnson's days are numbered. But then so are Britain's. Maybe he'll just concede everything the EU wants and then fuck off to play croquette with Mogg on Spaff Island.

None of this will make any difference. The next grey eminence will be no less a weird tory ideologue, full of stupid antisocial ideas. Desperate to use the empty vessel that is our PM to push them through. None of these people are good people. By virtue of being what they are they invalidate themselves. It's not like we have a say in any of this anyway, as if representative democracy actually works. Ha ha! What joke, of course it doesn't; we have no say at all!

It seems that the R rate is getting under control. At least according to the people at the ZOE study. I have no idea how reliable they are. Locally only 5000 out of 200,000 have their app btu at least it isn't run by Serco. I guess we have to take our good news where we can find it. Of course the real issue all along has been what happens when the doors open once again. Can we really afford to entertain another Eat Out To Help Out when it didn't last time. Word is, the chancellor hasn't ruled this stupidity out again.

Oddly, according to their data, I live in a very highly infected area, as the numbers go. But because it's a low population area it is difficult to be accurate. What we know is the R number is an average. You need to take into account that Covid is spread by a few who infect many. The R number averages this. So if you can isolate those people you'll go a long way to solving the problem. Shame then our useless government gave billions to Serco and the like to do...something.

I notice there's a lot of bumph around the place talking about Children In Need. Certainly there are, sadly, plenty of those right now. It doesn't need to be that way. The amount given to these privateers throughout this crisis utterly dwarfs the amount Children In Need raised last year (about 50 million quid). Yet somehow these Tory arseholes can't find it upon themselves to feed kids without kicking up a stink. It's ridiculous. That's taxpayer money given to these privateers, yet we allow ourselves to fall for the charity telethon con, thus allowing the government off the hook. 

Is that a good thing?

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...
