But more, much more than this, I did it Hu-aaaaa-wei.

Well I’m glad I’ve got that out my system. Which is more than we can say for the company concerned, who are well and truly in, over, above and underneath our new system for 5G. Which has been approved by our government.

If Boris is to be believed, we get a fantastic 5G network, we get it much quicker than by using any possible alternative and WE KEEP CONTROL of all data, minimised risk to security, kept away from ‘sensitive areas’, blah, blah, blah. Almost like Huawei is just the paint job on the outside of the shiny new network.

If the Americans are to be believed we have just sold our soul to China. And all our secrets. And will be under their surveillance even more than we currently are with Alexa. Every 5G terminal houses 3 really little Chinamen (or women; they have plenty of both available) and they’ll know everything anyone does any time they do it.

Though America has for many decades been sensitive to the point of paranoia. From ‘reds under the bed’ to Huawei. And many in between. But just because they’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to scupper any possible trade deal between our two fine nations. As has now been threatened. We’ll have to buy our chlorinated chickens from another supplier.

Yet them Yanks are quick to attack Prince Andrew (all bow; but ladies, make sure your skirts are pulled down sufficiently before doing so). He’s ‘unco-operative’ about his part (no pun) in the Epstein affair. He won’t say anything to them. He’s said all he needed to say on the matter to Emily Maitliss. And how did that go, Andy?

But its the horrible high-horsiness of the Americans which pisses me off. They want Andy to go and testify over there, even though he’s 19th (possibly 26th, maybe 173rd) in line to the throne of England! But he holds the truth, regardless of any status or immunity he may lay claim to. So that American law can be seen to be done. Halleluyah.

Funny that the diplomatic immunity claimed by Anne Sacolas is apparently more sacred. The woman who killed a young man with her car, outside an American air base and fled back to the States, is protected from extradition to face trial.

Let’s swap. Throw Andrew under the bus. Send him over there to testify in exchange for Anne Sacolas returning to Britain to face trial.

But America just kind’a lacks the empathy required to equate such things.

Happy Wednesday
