The Long Road 15 (+2:39) Here, Matt Hancock Lies Again

In my humble opionoin. Of course we will never know the truth, btu I don't trust Crying Matt at all, especially for a Tory. How can anyone tryust a man who doesn't blink and pretends to cry on television.

Here he is telling you how the track and trace system pinged him, forcing him into willing self isolation, in his weird red little shoe box. Like the photoagraphic chamber and peep hole of a serial killer. Imagine, he's going to be self isolating in there for six days. Isn't that meant to be fourteen days? How did that change, now that we have a more virulent strain abroad. I don't believe a word of it. 


It's the government of the Boris who cried wolf. Except, when the stution gets more serious, increasing numbers of people find his government, and authority, even less credible. More people turn away from lockdown. To be fair, it is an increasing strain to live like this. But that isn't an argument against the science of lockdown. We know it works because we've seen it work twice already. Now, for a third time, it's having an effect. Hopefully that wont' be a false positive. It's not the lockdown that's the problem, it's the incompetent government who keeps putting us back to square one, wasting all the blood spilled by key workers and doctors. This guy is the minister in charge of health and he's here having to lie to persaude people to obey rules his government keeps fucking up.

No policy can withstand such deliberate mismanagement. We shouldn't have needed three lockdowns and so it is no wonder people are tired. A fourth will fail because it will be ignored. This one is, largely, being ignored. Fortunately that doesn't appear to be having a negative consequence. It's not helped by the lack of support from the government; right across the board. People are having to work when they should be isolating, travelling during rush hours in calamitous conditions, and the government does nothing. They in fact push to make it worse by compelling everyone's kids back into schools, or, now, rebranding them as vulnerable children to get them out of the house.

Our only hope, if we are to salvage this year (at least), is to fight back ourselves. No one else can do it. Where is Starmer and the useless Labour party? Who cares, that question begs electoralism. The notion that we shouldn't do anything until the next election comes around, which is why Labour have no policies. Who is campaigning on behalf of legacy benefit claimants who have been completely ignored in respect of the £20 Universal Credit uplift? Labour want to contest that battle ground, but are they fighting for the legacy claimants? Maybe I'll ask them when I'm allowed back on Twitter.

I got a week on the naughty step for saying that we ought to throw the Tories off a cliff. Unfortunately, despite allowing actual fascists to get away with widespread abuse, my piddly little account gets flagged for a comment that's the equivalent of "I could murder a cup of tea". Social media is as much a joke as it is a 21st century lifeline.

Unfortunately, until my spell in the sin bin stops, I can't amplify the few voices calling for parity under the government. Those of us on legacy benefits still haven't received the same uplift as those receiving Universal Credit, even though we have no say in which benefit we receive. When this scheme ends and the chancellor doles out the £500 that seems increasingly likely he'll do we will similarly be left bereft, and that is a bitter pill to swallow. Sadly, the cause of benefit claimants isn't as easily sold to the masses as starving kids, despite the fact the same families also need that money. That's Tory dogma for you, drip fed over the last period as social poison.

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...
