Month: October 2020

Whilst the wealth of the very wealthy has increased through the pandemic, the CPS wants to prevent future tax rises and calls for sacking 160000 public sector workers, sell off valuable council houses to replace with cheap ones, cut child benefit, cut overseas aid, cut pensions. It is like some horror movie that these people (who I would guess are public school educated, or at least privileged with steady protected incomes) can sit around and work out how to screw more money from the poorest in our society. Do they practise cackling as well?

Andy Burnham stands up for the people of Manchester. But the government refuses to fund lockdown properly. They obviously don’t have mates in the area to chuck money at! And they are spending £7 rebranding the Highways Agency!

Johnson uses Brexit negotiating tactics in Manchester and is shocked they do not work! To call them negotiations is wrong – their stance is agree with us because we are always right! It maybe that he and his acolytes are more dangerous than the virus itself! I have people say ‘why not use the Nightingale hospitals”, then other hospitals could treat all the other patients. Well, the Tory government has run down the NHS for 10 years and there are not enough nurses and doctors. This time last year all the talk was about staffing shortages – this is still true.
