Politics De Toddler

They're saying now that BJ's an alcoholic. He certainly likes his booze, but the one who famously lost his head when zozzled was Cummings, supposedly screaming at Corbyn to give them an election. Because that's what they do, they drink and they tell lies.

Johnson certainly looks terrible. A close look at his face, particularly his eyes, is a real revelation. Maybe it's post-Covid, maybe it's drink, certainly it is not happiness or health.

The latest in this series of governmental debacles is the business of Chris Grayling. The Russia Report remains an issue, buried for as long as possible by BJ. It's a matter of public record that the Conservative party received massive amounts in donation from Russian oligarchs. Concerns about Russian interference in the Brexit campaign were voiced even by pro Brexiters, though at least one ex MP remained happy to benefit from a little dubious activity:

It is important that the Intelligence and Security Committee remains non-partisan, that is why it's cross party. It has always been able to appoint its own head, until now. Number 10 tried to parachute Chris Grayling (commonly known as Failing Grayling and a well known DC/BJ patsy) to be the head of the committee. That was scuppered and another Tory MP, Julian Lewis, was chosen instead. Number 10 promptly lost its mind and sacked Lewis.

This could be control freakery, or sheer worry about not containing the impact of the report.

Up to their necks in sh*te is what they are. I cannot even discuss politics with tory mates anymore because only the Daily Express variety are trying to brazen this out. The rest duck their heads and try to wait for a better day. I've never seen ashamed conservatives before. Got to say, it suits them.

Mistake

I mentioned my aunt today. It was a thoughtless thing to do.

'I have not shed a tear at her death,' said Mum, 'it would be lying to say I did. But I feel annoyed at her death. And I think the feeling will go away but it never does. I feel so annoyed.'

I told her that it was only natural, that anger was a stage of grief. 'Give yourself time,' I said, 'it is only three months.'

But it is a little more than that I think.

I don't want Depression to affect her any more than it already does.

I'll try not to mention Aunty again.
