I heard a great point last night on the radio. I was waiting for my father-in-law to come out of the hospital after his short stay which became a slightly longer stay because someone on the ward had covid. He was ‘being sent home’ by ‘hospital transport’, because ‘we can’t allow normal people, or taxis, to drive patients home’, at 4 o’clock. By 9 o’clock, the rules changed and we were allowed to collect him. Either that or Mel’s car was declared an ‘honorary ambulance’, I don’t know the details but otherwise it was to be at least another 2 hours if they took him. And as I waited in the car (ambulance bay, thought it best to stay in case they didn’t know about Mel’s car’s new status) I heard a woman talking about last year’s Number-10-gate issues. Specifically the second one, in which during the lockdown, gatherings more than 3 people banned, there were 7 people, including Boris, and Carrie, in the garden at Number 10 drinking wine and having fun.

Oh, that wasn’t a party, that was ‘a work meeting’. Ahh, the ‘work meeting’ escape clause. Except…

Why were they drinking wine whilst working? Lawyers can’t do it, accountants not permitted, virtually no-one is allowed to do it. But running the country (that’s what Number 10 meetings do) is something people can do whilst pissed. Not like there were any problems at that time, I s’pose. And furthermore, why the F*** was Carrie there? At a ‘work meeting’? She is not part of government, she just sleeps with it. And thus, in the interests of national security, represents a risk. She could be a ‘mole’. Certainly resembles one.

So yet again, its a wonderful ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’ moment for our esteemed PM and his moronic team.

Which is why we’re not having our ‘usual’ pre-Christmas lockdown. Not for scientific reasons, nothing to do with health, the pandemic or infection rates. But because such a demand or request would be laughed off the front pages of the newspapers.

Happy Tuesday
