Covid Dies At Cumbria
Living as I do in the Northern Maskland, there's a refreshing moment on the journey south to Migrantia, when, about forty miles down the A1, a sign says WELCOME TO ENGLAND (an invitation most of Europe and Africa seem to have taken literally). Refreshing, because the announcement means from this point on you can enter shops and buildings in the full expectation of seeing actual human faces. A minor attraction, but heart-warming just the same. Forget the fifth jab - the truth is out: Covid dies at Cumbria!________________________
BBC today - ''Sunak's statement started with a reminder that we are in wartime.''
ReplyDeleteEr, no, we're not, Rishi. One thousand five hundred miles away there’s a civil war going on between two groups of Russian Slavs and their respective billionaire Oligarchs, because NATO's leadership figured out a brilliant way to start one. That, folks, is not ‘wartime’ for the UK, any more than our cherished allies the Saudi’s current flattening of the Yemen makes it ‘wartime’ for us.
.
It's absolutely nothing to do with the UK. Our military is, thankfully, not involved (one advantage of having a ‘Military’ reduced to the appeasement of LGBT and Greta). Yet naturally it's now replaced Covid as the catch-all excuse for every public and private display of greed and incompetence, to be trotted out at every available mind-numbing opportunity and rammed down our throats through 24-hour news of carefully anguished TV coverage, just as Covid was.
Our Indian Billionaire Chancellor of Hedge Funds hasn't the remotest idea, or interest in, how ordinary, low-income UK people live. His connection to this country is purely financial, just like half the Cabinet. If they weren't making shedloads of money here, they'd be off like a shot to somewhere else that offered even better opportunities for greed and graft.
I find it hilarious, in fact, that the Cabinet are saying hurty things about Russian Oligarchs when they're actually exactly the same breed of Oligarchs themselves.
Brilliant comment as usual . Also hilarious and informative.
ReplyDeleteHave you read any of Vernon Coleman's
Yearly Diaries published in book form ?
There are a lot of similarities in your article to his way of looking at British life. Cheers
Many thanks. I know nothing of Vernon Cleman but will certainly check him out now, on your reccomendation. I could use a laugh! :-)
