Month: May 2022

This government has now made it totally plain that most of the population are only useful for menial jobs.

Government advice for the poor is to eat the cheapest food possible with no regard to health.

Johnson blames left wing lawyers for delaying deportations – nothing to do with it being illegal then?

Johnson makes a bid to become President of Ukraine. Except the rhetoric collapsed when it turned out that £300 million (less deductions) was not much of a big deal.

Supreme Court to overturn historic case. Is Priti Patel mobilising to stop Americans coming here for abortions?

When did reporting get so lazy? Surely there should be a regulator? Maybe a league table of honesty in news reporting both the press and online – maybe a colour coding at 3 levels which ignores political bias. The Sun and Star could avoid this by being classified as comics! Hopefully the Times, Telegraph and Guardian would be top level – but then maybe the i, and the Mirror? But what criteria could be used? Named sources would be a good start, coverage of major issues and space/time commensurate with importance? Honesty is difficult, but Angela Rayner should have been able to sue the Tories who maligned her.

I wonder where the BBC, Fox News, etc. would come. It could get them to be more professional – cost? To the tax payer nothing as the organisations publishing news would have to pay a fee.

BP makes £6.2 billion profit but a loss of £12 billion after writing off investments in Russia. Can we expect to see major investments in green technology as a result? The government should create a favourable environment for green investments at all levels from corporate to individual. The Environment Agency should be advancing the use of watermills rather than prohibitive charges for environmental reports – they are paid by the tax payer not the energy giants.

The government is obsessed by size of dominator proportions. Small scale schemes on a local scale are quicker to instal, funding should be easier and the energy market would be diversified. Security should increase as reliance on imports of fossil fuels would be much reduced, and the National Grids’ exposure to hacking reduced.

This word has been added to my vocabulary. outstandingly bad; shocking. It sums up this government.

Latest egregious policy comes from Michael ‘the gnome’ Gove. Foreign food to be allowed into the country despite poor quality – after all, only the poor will buy it. Farmers may moan but will not bite the hand that feeds them government subsidies and guarantees their land rights.

Latest egregious refusal is that they will not release documents showing how and why Michelle Loose was awarded £200 million PPE contract – although the police are investigating – I think.

Latest egregious lie – Johnson and Harding saying that asymptomatic covid was not known about when they are on video explaining it – how many elderly care home victims were there?

Latest egregious revelation from the NHS is 2000 dentists quitting in east year – nearly 10%.

Latest egregious denial – Kwarsi Kwarteng announcing that the pervious culture of Westminster is a lie, it is just a few ‘bad apples’.

Latest egregious statement – anything from the Culture Secretary.
