Westministenders: The Truth Isn't A Made Up Concept

[RedToothBrush]

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Not George Orwell but often attributed to him. But a powerful statement with resonance nonetheless

Getting in early for a change...

Cummings, the ERG, BJ ... and as for Trump & the far right GOP takeover .... we have entered Orwell's nightmares:

Didn't hear about the Gove story. Or is this one lie smuggled with 2 truths ?

Here we go, here we go again

Talking on nightmares, there may be another China-India border war brewing.
This has been rumbling for a few weeks, but seems to be getting worse

1962, 1967 and a few lesser incidents of bloodletting should have put them off
but Modi is a religious fascist and the Chinese regime is resuming open aggression

China and India move troops as border tensions escalate

Thousands of Chinese troops reportedly move into sensitive areas along Himalayan frontier

Talking on nightmares, there may be another China-India border war brewing.

Imagine if they had nuclear weapons !

Big, big test coming up for the media correspondents here IMO. What will we see and hear from them I wonder?

I'll be the first to predict they fail. Will save an awful lot of reading, and my hair really needs washing. Win-win.

Thanks RTB

I am immersing myself in the apocalyptic visions of the Dark Tower series. It's cosy and comforting by comparison.

I like to travel in hope DGR. Well let’s see, lots of questions that people will be very keen to have asked about the forthcoming easing of lockdown. Let’s see which questions our esteemed media reps will choose to ask.

e.g. is the government hamstrung by having to avoid outlawing the kind of journeys by infected people that Cummings made

Cuddled up brothers

Ds is currently reading 1984. He's just got to the shocking news that Mr Charrington wasn't the benign character he had been portrayed as. Welcome to the world of duplicity .

1984 was a prediction fiction. We're having to live the reality . But as ds said as a note of optimism, at least the leader of the opposition is a human rights lawyer

Quite true, DGR:

(this is probably much more serious that C-19. But, heigh-ho, there's only so much science people want)

Who is the Prime Ministers favourite teletubbie ?

I think Laura's heard there could be a vacancy on Newsnight.
