Boris is a blustering fool – climate-change-briefing

Nice to see my words echoed a day later by ex PM John Major, a much under-rated man and we align totally in that it is quite despicable supposedly competent Cabinet Ministers attempting to defend the indefensible, for example step forward Kwasi Kwarteng.

Things go well for Boris today, lickspittle adulators rush to defend, okay admittedly only one or two at least but there is rampant inflation, there is Ukraine, there is Cressida Dick, all wonderful things to draw the spotlight away from a hapless and callous Boris Johnson. As I’ve always said if he couldn’t recognise a party in the garden (Friday night, bottles of wine) then what was happening in no.10 on a day to day basis? As Boris refuses to admit to the obvious this nation is being laughed at around the world, it being openly stated on bbc r4 news we are losing credibility on the world stage.

Rishi Sunak will be judged as really not very competent, throwing loose no tie loans to instantly folding ‘companies’ all comers welcome sounds like naive in the extreme. We need more ’rounded’ and experienced people in Cabinet, theres too much Eton, theres too much ex merchant bankers financial types, we need people with a greater sense of the position they hold and the requirements of public service, to have experience of ORDINARY LIFE.

Never mind, the Government has rapid inflation, exactly as we would expect and is exactly as Boris and Rishi could have hoped for, to erode the burden of this borrowing mess we are in.

The Dido Harding track and trace fiasco and the billions down the drain must not be swept under the carpet.

We now under the Boris Johnson Administration have seen created before our very eyes two new forms of under-class, those folk that work yet seem endlessly stretched in expenditure they cannot meet and below them the poor and disadvantaged that if Kwasi Kwarteng gets his way will be colder and hungrier than they have so far experienced.

The poor en-masse, Boris and Co would now like to push sub-radar as if they do not exist. Ask Kwasi Kwarteng, he is good and ready with the knife.

Heres my check list of all the waste and incompetence of the Boris Government of recent months as per my blog post of a couple of days ago.

Lets list from top of my head the dastardly acts of Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak etc.

Peroguing of Parliament (actually now seen as illegal).
Pushing through Brexit which again is disastrous, for decades we will hurt from this. It will hit precisely those businesses comprising ordinary working people, growers, manufacturers.
Blind to the impracticality of the Northern Ireland / EU trading border.
Most definitely eroding the status of the poor and the ordinary, the mass of people, the stats in 10yrs time will amply demonstrate this.
Snatching the notorious £20 note from the poorest, this Rishi is very mean and cruel.
Billions wasted on HS2 particularly in a time of zoom meetings and remote working, no-one mentions freight, doesn’t seem to be part of it.
Both NI and income tax up for ordinary workers.
Crippling energy costs, on the rise, unfettered a huge profit machine for the those companies that can stay the course.
Still allowing the IR35 tax loophole, this is disgraceful by any standard other than vested interest and greed.
Not any great real effect on climate change, Boris is a Johnny come lately at even accepting the phenomena.
In my opinion Boris disrespects the House, remember it suited Boris fine to have the likes of Dominic Cummings as close advisor; whoops that is a misnomer, theres nothing ‘the likes of’ Dominic Cummings, fortunately a total one-off and Boris couldn’t get enough of him.
The phoney mantra of ‘levelling up’ which will prove to be empty and hollow.
The disastrous withdrawl from Afghanistan and its consequences, I shudder at the suffering and poverty we have left behind, as with Iraq a consequence of western meddling.
The multiple serial contravention of covid restrictions at no.10 and if Boris couldn’t recognise the contravention then what was happening inside no.10 on a day to day basis?
The billions wasted on the Dido Harding track and trace fiasco.
Draconian lockdowns, quite needless when losing family members. Imagine the misery in adhering to a ‘rule’. This well illustrates the Boris lack of empathy and callous disregard to the ordinary and suffering.
The millions perhaps billions wasted on inappropriate substandard PPE at the start of covid, bought from ‘mates’.
The billions wasted on naive Rishi shovelling out money as ‘loans’ to companies that subsequently surprise surprise declare themselves bankrupt.
The stupidity of the cash grants ie free money no strings handed out without any screening whatsoever from Local Authorities to any small business that said ‘yes’, lets face it hospitality needs to shed massive overcapacity and many niche businesses under covid have thrived. A waste of money once again.
We’ll see the situation quite soon where doctors on call-out will be making visits to homes six months of the year in cold weather where the occupants suffer without heating, Boris and Rishi have set the clock back a hundred years.
Immediate rampant inflation, surely not a surprise to anyone but Boris.
Measly near non-existent rates for savers, prudence and thrift is not rewarded; they want us to spend spend spend.
The rise of the private landlord has been allowed to increase unfettered.
And perhaps worst of all the huge NHS backlog, literally millions of people held in limbo UNABLE to enjoy the magnificent resources of as we are told so often this wonderful NHS.

Its hard to believe such a list of blunders. I would like all of these blunders to be investigated and will it happen, not really. The Boris Government is increasingly looking to be a clowns comedy cavalcade.

postscript: 24 hrs later we hear on bbc r4 news that in fact Steve Barclay has announced Government will be shrinking its presence, its aid and facilities provided, taking a more ‘back seat’ role. In other words they have wasted so much unaccounted for billions that now they have no choice, but of course will not admit this. This is uncanny how I can pre-guess what this atrocious Conservative government is capable (or incapable) of. All the decades of struggle are being eliminated, contrary to natural human optimism. This will please Kwasi Kwarteng and others of his ilk; they need to be ‘outed’ and shamed.

We live in a world of whitewash and bluff and soundbite the future is not bright.

Interesting how my older blogposts attract zero enquiry according to my stats here at wordpress. Maybe we/ I are wasting our time at this onscreen activity?

Anyway, Boris Johnson has pulled another master-stroke to match his Prorogation of Parliament in that the pending Sue Gray report has been totally emasculated by the newer police investigation. A master stroke of simplicity yet a resultant total obfuscation of getting at the facts!! Well done Boris, playing to expected form as usual!!

ie “I report that *** something happened at *** a certain address concerning certain *** individuals but unfortunately *** certain facts said and unsaid cannot be mentioned ! ”

What an utter heap of B/S !!!

You could not make this up, beyond any plausable fiction, but there it is laid out bare for all to see, or not see!

This is censorship of the highest order or perhaps the burial of facts and liability re drinking and socialising in covid times whilst ‘ornery folk suffered massively at correctly interpreting the words and rules of our so-called masters. Wow … were we taken for fools!!! Admittedly and this is how it will pan out is that the good folk at no.10 appear socially distanced in that garden (lucky too, looks very pleasant) and they kept to their work bubble. Yet its the draconian measures levied to everyone else that galls.

I’m sick of hearing endlessly on bbc r4 last week how ‘The Sue Gray Report’ will be a no punches pulled ‘as it is’ hard reality, how she is such a respected and incisive Civil Servant. Bah humbug, puff and bluster as Boris full on would term it… its been utterly ‘throttled’ as per strangled to death. What a waste of resources, news reporting airtime and general gas lighting.

We have climate change, we have (predictably) rampant inflation and the poor are getting poorer and these pointless Boris induced shenanigans are what occupies the time of Parliament and media news coverage. As my dad would say…”They couldn’t organise a p***-up in a brewery”.

Boris strikes again huh. We also hear all last week again on bbc r4 at ‘how much’ Boris has achieved, again this to my mind is a total misnomer. All he has done is tread water so to speak, made Brexit happen regardless of the slow dripping cost over the coming decades and most certainly made the poor poorer (and more anxious).

Yet Boris ‘n Co trundle out the feelgood message of ‘levelling up’ at every opportunity, we know fine well this is all merely window dressing, is hype and actual fact will amount to very little or nothing. I can see them all in a huddle rehearsing this months latest mantra, “We say this we say this – yeah yeah yeah – we got it!”…. all posh boys with low attention spans until the next mantra comes along. I fear it could end up as the proverbial London bus if they’re not careful, you wait ages and all of a sudden two come along together!

Clever kid Boris uh … and what are his qualifications? Not many really … privelige, a posh elite education and Editor of the posh mag ‘Spectator’ …. come on Britain … get real!

And co-hort Rishi who is as ever divorced from the real world and the needs and struggle of the poor now wants to screw the poor as hard as he can, remember he took back the twenty quid a week from the poorest but having scattered money far and wide as ‘loans’ to businesses or any limping business in sight that now have surprise surprise now declared themselves bust and no longer able to pay back their extraordinary naive loans from Rishi. What sort of world do these over-priveliged kids think is out there?

You know when you are poor when you are not only cold but also hungry, when you are in fear of your Landlord due to misguided policy these last thirty plus years of allowing rampant buy to let and throttling to near zero Local Authority housebuilding and theres no chance of a job. We have not achieved progress thats for sure.

We are also told money is now to be taken as additional income tax (again the ordinary will pay, the slick and dubious IR35 tax dodgers again slither out of sight) … for the NHS to clear the backlog, but as is often stated, it takes many years to train and qualify people to do this task, it cannot be turned off and on like a tap

I have no problem with a penny or two of higher tax, I must be the last man in England to deliberately and wilfully retain sole trader status even after forty years of self employment, I quite happilly contribute to the system. I think the IR35 loophole is the hole in the bucket of tax collection.

Con-man bluster-fool Boris needs to be held accountable, his array of courtiers and sycophants need to be brought in, to be reined in. I never thought I would b thankful for Dominic Cummings.

History will judge him badly, inept, out of his depth, a blustering fool. As per a First World War General of the worst sort.

postscript, things aren’t quite right in this world. We read now that the murderers installed in the British army will no longer ever be held accountable by a new ruling, or more precisely be held to account for the 108 live rounds fired on Bloody Sunday (the second such day termed Bloody Sunday after the first mayhem of the Black n Tans in 1920) of 1972 in Derry. Soldier ‘F’ I think the stats declare killed two and injured five others, no way should this paratrooper be not rewarded with jail time.

But why is it ‘the Establishment’ does all it can to obfuscate and move so slow for those rampant paratroopers to never have to pay the price? These were live rounds remember on UK soil. I listened to the Peter Taylor 25th Jan ’22 radio broadcast, interesting interviews, particularly chilling being the manner and response from the Para CO.
