DILEMMA – NOT!

Any MP’s who vote against the Johnson Inquiry findings are in contempt of the democracy of our Parliament and should be suspended! Those who have issued social media threats to other Conservatives about deselection should be forced into bye-elections.

Murdoch seems to be distancing himself from Johnson whilst the Telegraph, Express and Mail continue with a forlorn hope of creating a rebellion. Only the insane continue to believe that Johnson is not a liar, more likely is that they do not care! I think every person I have heard defending Johnson has received an honoir from him which sums up the corruption he has developed in government.

Sunak is very quiet! Presumably listening to see which way the cookie crumbles. I am obviously not a tory voter! but would the conservative voters think less of him for showing some balls (his trousers are almost short enough! and forcing allegience or removal of the whip from the die hard Johnson supporters. He has little respect at the moment for the lack of his firm leadership? Even J R-M has said only that he may vote against!

Actually I believe that Boris is sincere when he says he did not lie to Parliament. He is so far up his arse that I think he completely believes that the only truth is the one he makes up himself. The fact that he dismisses the actual facts is what he is actually guilty of!

Not fit for public office should be added to any future job applications. I would not trust him to deliver my post!

Where does this leave the Tory Party? Truss has said she will not vote against the committees findings. Will Johnson find out that the UK democracy is bigger than his ego?

JOHNSON EVISCERATED

At last a committee that would not be bulied or intimidated. 180 day suspension would have ensued had he not resigned and it is recommended that he has his House of Commons Pass rescinded. And not one word of contrition. Bye bye Boris, boris goodbye!

If you go down in the sea today, you’re sure of a big surprise


If you go down in the sea today, you’d better go in disguise
For every turd that ever there was 
Will gather there for certain because 
Today’s the day water companies issue their profits

Every child who’s ever been good is sure of a treat today
There’s lots of floating things to eat and wonderful diseases to catch
Beneath the waves where nobody sees 
They’ll hide and seek as long as they please
That’s the way the water companies have their picnic

Picnic time for holiday makers
The little children are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares 
And see them share the sea on their holiday

See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o’clock their mummies and daddies 
Will take them back home to bed
and treat the vomit and shits that come about

If you go down in the sea today, you’d better not go alone
It’s lovely down in the sea today, but safer to stay at home
For every turd that ever there was 
Will gather there for certain because 
Today’s the day the rich cats have their picnic

MY GARDEN

I there I hope you are well – too hot! I have the fan out!

I have just ordered some more roses as they seem to like it in the front garden. I think the chicory may be coming back! and I am waiting to see if the evening primrose reappears, lemon verbena seems to have died but I retain hope! Something had a roll around in the middle of my raspberries last night, not sure what, the blackbird seems to see it as a McD’s – but fair play to it. Purple Loostrife has now been planted out. Tomatoes and chillies seem to be doing ok. Raspberries are being raided by a blackbird – fair play to him! Neighboirs seems to be cutting their grass less often! I hope it continues!

I am still cooking – I am still striving for a personable ciabatta ! or baguette! Doing bean sprouts at the moment!

Maz is signed on for teacher training, Martin still doing electrics and Tams has a new enterprise. https://tyldatents.co.uk

DAILY MAIL

Oh dear, they do not know which way to turn. Record numbers of small boats is Starmers fault who is also now an ecoterrorist due to his opposition of their anti-democratic Public Order Bill. Nadine Dorries claims that her poverty at birth has prevented from being selected for the HoL she ignores the fact that the founder of the Big Issue is a Lord – maybe she was deemed just too stupid? However the nominations by Johnson create an excellent case for urgent reform of the whole situation. The Express leads with Boris will be back in frontline politics, they have obviously considered the average age and the IQ of their readership and could not see which was highest!

Polling in key seats show that just 12% want lower taxes and reduced public services whilst 36% want the opposite. Johnson and supporters should note – as should Starmer!

WEATHER

The dry spell continues, my 350ltrs of water butts have nearly run dry. But some floods around with convectional storms. Do planning authorities and the water boards actually have any AI – no not artificial intelligence – but AI – actual intelligence. Covering green sites with concrete reduces infiltration, increases convection and temperatures, speeds up runoff. We need urban planting, replacing impermeable surfaces like parking spaces with permeable grids, more street trees and roof gardens. It is common sense

GONE

We are glad to see the back of him. Dorries is incoherent with anger at not getting a peerage. Farage is negotiating for BlowJo to join his Party and says 15 or so other MP’s could join them. Can the priveleges committee name the MP’s who went on TV and Radio and repeated the lies that they had been fed by Johnson and the Cabinet Office.

Sunak should do a Guadiola (if you do not like my tactics – leave!). If 15 MP’s leave it will not dent the tory majority and they are hardly likely to side with Labour on anything! Would any of them win an election for Respect? Unlikely as the conservative vote would be split. The Daily Fail does not know what to do – attacking Starmer for opposing the oppressive Public Order Bill stating that he is siding with eco-terrorists (If only he would!).

The 3 bye-elections are interesting. Johnsons seat in Uxbridge should go Labour, Dorries Mid-Bedfordshire seat should remain tory but LibDems have an outside chance, Selby and Ainsty should remain Tory with Labour in with a chance. All 3 could claim a victory of sorts with a variety of results. Tories will be happy to retain one, Labour will claim success with one and the LibDems the same! Overall Labour will need to look at their share of the vote in what are Tory strongholds – have the Lib-Dems made inroads in the blue areas? Can Sinak gain any solace?

Time for Sunak to put his long trousers on and become a leader. He was talking about AI with Biden last week, time to be talking Actual Intelligence!

Meanwhile Canada is still burning and the sparks seem to have reached Scotland with wild fires developing. Climate change – where? But Sturgeon in trouble “no smoke without fire”. Has she become a victim of the “In power for too long brigade which has Thatcher and Blair and key members”?

DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS

Interesting to see a new look at our perilous economic position. It totally debunks liberal capitalism and the need for growth. To occur will require a massive disruption of the economic and thus political systems. More seriously what can we do to bring about change when the economic and political systems are dominated and protected by wealthy corporations and their supporters. Both the social and environmental boundaries are theoretically achievable but look unobtainable despite all the warniings by thousands of climate scientists and environmental models. The last being the disruption in ocean temperatures. In the western world with the media controlled amnd manipulated by the rich and wealthy leaving protesters the only option of physical disruption by groups of protesters like Just Stop OIL and Extinction Rebellion.

A court of law that was equitable and fair would look at the protest, the climate change, the stupidity of governments and award the protesters damages not lock them up! “You prevented my wife from getting to the shops, and that deserves a prison sentence “-I have heard people say they would throw away the key! But there will need to be a bigger disruption than they can muster to disrupt the system. I doubt that it can be done peacefully, we have seen how desperate the rich and powerful like Johnson, Trump, JR-M will use anything to retain their position.

Even the war in Ukraine has had little effect. Countries like the UK with massive potential for clean power generation are using the war as an excuse to open more oil well in the seas around us. Electric cars do not come without environmental and social cost (Cobalt mines in the Congo), perhaps we all need to have better more affordable public transport Cost of running a car is £5-6000 per year – transfer most of that to public transport and we could have virtually free buses and trains.

Basically we need to live within the constraints of the doughnut – something I am not sure Conservatives (free market) or Labour (basically the same with modifications) would agree with?

DISARRAY

Senior tories calling for Johnson to be banned from standing in the future, JR-M calling for him to be allowed to stand asap, and the Sun leads on Marcus Rashford splitting up with his girl friend! This could run for ages! But if full report is published on Monday we will have a clearer picture. The Mirror calls for a general election.
