The adoration of the Queen’s 70 year reign has started with months to go! A very good friend was extolling her as being someone who no one had a bad word about – good effort in todays acidic media environment.

What is this nonsense about a £200 loan to offset fuel costs? Surely the easy, targeted answer was to reinstate the £20 universal credit decrease? And whilst at it cut the bureaucracy of the winter fuel payment to OAP’s – just add it to pensions where the rich will be taxed on it.

Before the tanks have to roll.

Right wing commentators are half right in saying that the public are bored with ‘party gate’ we are bored with the details and the lies. ALL the guilty should should resign, including those pedalling the lies, and be prosecuted. The British public needs decisive action to bring the economy back under control.

I formerly believed that corruption was a result of poor governance in recently formed democracies without experience. It would seem that as democracy is weakened every day, by every lie and every calculated manoeuvre by the nasty party, corruption spreads. Fraud is estimated to be close to £200 billion in the UK. We spend more money policing student loans than tracing fraud. London is a centre for money laundering. The Chancellor writes off billions of fraudulent claims during Covid – perhaps he could employ lawyers on a no win no cost basis with 50% being kept by the lawyers?

Pathetic attack on Labour by suggesting taxes would be higher if they were in power. His party has been in power for so long it makes no difference.

Governor of Bank of England, salary £575,538 tells workers not to demand big pay rises. FO!

will pale into insignificance as the sleaze of Covid contracts becomes published.

The papers claimed that Johnson had sacked senior advisors rather than that they resigned. They may well have resigned before the Met fingered them. Johnson may have suggested that they resign (presumably with mega benefits) rather than be sacked – presumably with a non-disclosure agreement? Now 5 have gone.
