It's not going to end, is it?

[sinkov]

The "pandemic" has provided Johnson and his cronies an excuse to exert an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization in my opinion sinkov. The cronyism, the lack of accountability, the lack of respect for democracy and Parliamentary protocol is more reminiscent of an Hitler junta than the "normal" antics of a Conservative government.

Even your Blessed Saint Margaret would not go this far.

All done with the full support of the Labour Party BT, in fact they urged the Tories to go even further and faster with their lockdowns, when the Socialists are urging the government on it seems a bit perverse to equate their measures with right-wing Nazi Germany, still looks more like Soviet Russia or East Germany to me, possibly a bit of Communist China mingled in as well, than a right-wing coup.

Yesterday, I had a telephone conversation with a senior Labour politician I respect and admire very much in the late afternoon. I can tell you sinkov, she is not in accord with either Johnson or Starmer.

The words racist, fascist, corrupt, and authoritarian were falling like confetti. I have a feeling Starmer will not last long and when he goes, I will return to the fold.

....I will return to the fold.

Like if I asked you BT what is its contents ,what is your vision? What are your aims?

Please not '''For the many not the few.'' ??? Here is a piece from Blue Labour , in truth its really meaningless 'Bull schiote.'

''The necessity of Blue Labour in relocating virtue, value and vocation in British politics. This will be achieved, as the book has shown, through policies of self-government, reciprocity, welfare reform, the re*****isation of the workplace (including a living wage), fair prices for everyday costs and an overhaul of finance. Through the recognition of these key ‘post-liberal’ ideas, Labour will be able to tell a story of national renewal, win over disillusioned voters, and transform the country.

'' fair prices for everyday costs and an overhaul of finance?''

"The doom-mongers of SAGE were out in force again yesterday, building on their recent victory in Downing Street to keep stoking the fear. The Independent brings us the latest wisdom from Imperial College’s Professor Neil Ferguson. Ferguson told a media briefing that his latest modelling predicts between 100 and 1,200 deaths a day at the peak of the summer “third wave”, before raising the possibility that restrictions may need to be introduced."

Between 100 and 1,200 deaths a day. That forecast tells you all you need to know, for all the Imperial College Professor's vast experience, knowledge and computer suites, a range of between 100 and 1.200 is the best he can do, he hasn't got a feckin clue has he, a monkey with a pin could come up with a more accurate forecast.

Gangs of marauding Jocks doing the conga in Hyde Park and Oxford Street should fill the London Covid hospitals to capacity according to Ferguson's prediction sinkov. We both know it won't.

"There has been a 79 per cent rise in the highly contagious Delta variant in the past week and cases have been above 10,000 for three days in a row." Yet Johnson allows trains and planes packed full with Jocks to arrive and rip up London. ???????

[sinkov]

[I]"There has been a 79 per cent rise in the highly contagious Delta variant in the past week and cases have been above 10,000 for three days in a row."

Cases in England were running at around 6,000 a day a couple of weeks ago, they're now running around 8,000 a day, so an increase of around 33% in a couple of weeks. No need to believe the lies, the stats are all there on the GOV.UK website for anyone to check.

Latest figure for the number of Covid patients in NHS hospitals 1,170, we still have more hospitals than patients.

Last 7 days Covid deaths in England, due to the deadly Delta variant, 9, 6, 7, 11, 8, 5, 5.

'Don't panic Captain Mainwaring.'

I wonder whether Nicola has let the Jocks back into their country after they have visited that nasty place called England with all its diseased inhabitants.

It is not without historical and deadly precedent.

The Scots – thinking that God was punishing the English – invaded the north of England, where their army caught the plague. In 1350, therefore, the plague spread through Scotland. ... The first plague died out in 1350.

Like the thread title says, 'it's not going to end is it ?'.
