Month: March 2023

The tories are desperate. JR-M calls the Gray inquiry into Partygate a socialist stitch up, although. he was extolling her virtues at the time. The tired old right wing are desperate to cling on to anything now that their cheerleader appears to be a spent force. Notba good week for them – first Sunak delivers a reasonable package (this is agreed by all but the rapid few). They seem to forget that BJBJ was found guilty by the police, not Sue Gray. Durham police also found Starmer not guilty – not Sue Gray. Perhapsnthey are concerned that as a senior civil servant she knows where the bodies are buried? Then we had Oakenshott leaking 100000 What’sApp messages to the Telegraph – Hancock must be gutted. The Telegraph will filter ones against BJBJ but desperately need to up circulation.

With MI5 admitting faults regarding the Manchester bombing – not a good week for many in the estasblishment this week!

What is it about this country? And are others like this? Confrontational as a basic reaction. Anyone who gains success is seen as a target for tye press to undermine and find something bad about. Conservative politicians faced with an issue will immediately resort to acerbic attacks. The whole Brexit farce has been inflicted on us by this imdercirrent of aggression and distrust.

Being mentally strong and aggressive certainly seemed to benefit co-workers getting promotion whilst I was teaching. Those who were prepared to crucify fellow workers were lauded, those who were supportive were seen as weak and by-passed for promotion. Drivers are quick to hit the aggression button. Do we teach children that arguments are not bi-polar? The press get headlines from bi-polar opinions and faning anger, distrust and angst.

I guess not much going on as far as the British Press is concerned. Horrific train crash in Greece largely ignored. Sun and Express lead with Harry and Meghan being kicked out of their house by Charlie, who may give it to Pervo boy! Guardian, Telegraph and Metro go for Hancock. Mail goes for supporting Carrie Johnsons call for longer sentences for wife beaters. Times goes for Bravermans claim that Islamic extremism is the fault of the left.

Mean while 30p Anderson has a go at food banks, Badeock has a go at menapausal women, Williamson accuses teachers of being lazy, whilst tory MP’s avoid work!

So the general feeling about the Brexit deal is that a) Nobody in the EU really cares anymore; b) Treating the EU negotiators with respect rather than agression and contempt made a deal possible; c) this could see off the criminal fool and his cohort. It seems that the EU has given way on a large number of things. Perhaps we can develop a proper relationship in many more areas. Starmer is well positioned to develop these ties. The DUP is already looking for support from the like of John Redwood to nit pock the treaty – Sunak should just tell them to fuck off back under the stone they crawl out of. Hopefully there share of the vote will diminish in May (it will remain string due to the bigitry embeded in many NI communities.

Could we see the same attention to detail and respect used in negotiations with the unions. First stop woulld be to stop refering to them as “barons”. Getting rid of “turnip” Coffey and “30p” Anderson would also help – however every Labour supporter will wnt to keep them in post for the election boost they get everytime either one opens their mouths.
