Eye of the Storm 5: Chin Chin!

A chilling thought: Trump (the Dim Reaper) faces electoral oblivion (hopefully) and has stated (again) the vaccine's a-comin'! Does this mean he will use this as electoral leverage. I doubt he'll go as far as selling an actual snake oil product, bringing it to market just in time for November. Although little else would surprise me at this point. But instead he'll point to something that "will be available by Christmas/Thanksgiving" in such a way as to be equally mendacious. All the desperate, by then infected, Republican red staters in covid hotspots will be persuaded that he's necessary for their deliverance. They want to cut red tape - in other words no matter how unsafe or unethical the vaccine or its creation may be....Consider this from his propagandist in chief (3mins20 in):

We're living at a time, here in the UK at least, where our children are leveraged against us, as the working class. Get them back into schools that weren't built with neither social distancing nor pandemics in mind - or we'll impoverish you. If you cannot see that is an act of class-based aggression then, my friend, you're blind.

The pubs open tomorrow - at 6am! Apparently this is to prevent pubs throwing their doors open at 12 midnight tonight. Is that how sad we are? So desperate for a drink that we'll run the corona gauntlet to find an open boozer at so early an opportunity you'd go in at midnight! Where does that take us moving forward. Once the pubs are open, that's Pandora's booze box. Why is this even happening? To my mind the drinks industry, with all respect to those making a living in it, is the last place that should open. Obviously staff should be taken care of; that's a separate concern. It's pretty obvious this is because Boris is chums with the Brexiteer owner class; people like Tim Martin. A small faced buffoon. People that have always opposed the lockdown, caring only about their bottom like. Well, bottoms up!

This entry is a bit shorter. I'm starting to get restless. This period is wearing on me - on many of us. The government have completely massed this up and so what is there to look forward to in regard of restoring society or easing the lockdown. Well the lockdown got fucked by Boris's stupid mate, you know the guy, he's the real PM. I don't know how this will play out but I'm pretty sure something has to give. Sadly it'll be us.
