Westministender: Amen to that!

On the Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, Johnson went to Westminster Abbey and was trolled. Its almost divine in its irony.

In a week where just about the entire right wing press has turned on him, for being... well shit... They have the dawning realisation that yes all those annoying lefties were right all along when they said he was full of nothing but hot air. He's been ridiculed for being paid £150,000 a year and not being able to feed his 5000 kids and the pictures to mark the anniversary of him becoming PM do little more than look like a man who couldn't tie his own shoe laces without a nanny to help him.

But its not really a laughing matter. This man doesn't understand what legal agreements he's signed so his solution to his ineptitude is to throw his toys out of the pram together with the rule of law. Which he also does not understand.

Johnson is also ever increasingly keen on ripping up inconvient human right and workers right and he has ample opportunity to do all this in the middle of a pandemic.

Unfortunately the hypocrisy of his cronies isn't exactly helping the behaviour of the public and you have to pity the poor behavioural scientists who have to tell him that 'of course the public are going to give you the vs when you tell them you shouldn't do this when your chief advisor claims to be maybe going blind'.

It seems the whole government strategy on managing the virus seems to be falling flat on its face rather sooner than planned cos they stuck Dildo in charge who wouldn't know her Rs from her elbow if it hit her in the face. And we've got Hancock going full on 1984, telling us not to believe the reports that no one can get a test because its all lies - except half the country has either first hand experience of the travesty of Track and Trace or has a close mate who they know is a hell of a lot more reliable than any of these fuckwits when it comes to telling the truth.

Meanwhile in America Bader Ginsburg has managed to die at possibly the most inconvient and dangerous time possible just as the future of democracy in the US is clinging on by its finger nails.

And yes. Money laundering. Haven't we talked about that a lot on these threads. Its almost as if FinCEN was predictable...

Taking back control was always about the elite taking back control from the masses. But if you've managed to keep following all this time, we've been saying that since April 2016 and no one listened then, so why would they start listening now?

Entwined cats hogging my lovingly crafted over many years Afghan blanket.

I seem to recall that there is money laundering that goes through a particular Scottish registered company vehicle, much to the frustration of the Scottish Government as the power to remove the loophole is reserved to Westminster Hmm

Meanwhile in America Bader Ginsburg has managed to die at possibly the most inconvient and dangerous time possible just as the future of democracy in the US is clinging on by its finger nails.

The Democrats managed to raise $71million in the hours after RBG's death. Mark Kelly (D), astronaut husband of former US Rep. Gabrielle Gifford, who is running in Arizona's special Senate election, is ahead of the GOP's McSally and may well be allowed to take his seat (though the vagaries of Arizona special elections remain unclear on this) if declared the winner (again, see AZ election quirks).

Sens. Lisa Murkowski (GOP) and Susan Collins (GOP) have expressed doubts on whether an appointment should be undertaken by Trump, though they have backed down before when push came to shove. Mitt Romney (GOP, Burned Boats Brigade) has yet to make a statement.

Interesting times, unfortunately.

Chris Whitty & Patrick Vallance giving a briefing tomorrow at 11am (just breaking now on Sky) Suspect this is warning us up for further 'restrictions.'

TokyoSushi · 20/09/2020 22:03

**Warming us up, but probably warning too

SabrinaThwaite · 20/09/2020 22:19

Exclusive: according to an official statement of the Italian airport dated September 17th, the British prime minister “travelled to Perugia over the past few days”. Sources: “Johnson landed in Perugia on Friday 11 September at 2 pm and left on Monday morning”. Downing Street: “This claim is wrong”

Now which Russian oligarch do we know that has recently been bumped up to the HoL and has a palazzo in Perugia?

TokyoSushi · 20/09/2020 22:25

Not surprising @SabrinaThwaite and potentially also explains his dodgy Internet connection on the briefing to MP's

RedToothBrush · 20/09/2020 22:30

Well all the other parents who said i was being miserable and pessimistic in March and that it would last longer than June can suck this up.

Im really fed up of being told i dont know anything or im wrong. REALLY fed up.

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson 'feeling the weight of responsibility acutely' over COVID-19
The PM, say a couple of colleagues who know him well, is being pulled between his scientific team and economic one.

Expect dithering.
