‘Long covid’ has now been redefined as ‘the banging on about the pandemic long after it all fucking finished to any significant degree and we’re all bored with it’.

Well, that’s my definition. Or it was. Until the inquiry started this week. And this is the most fun you can have. I’d pay 75 quid for a seat to watch such satire and here it is, every day, on tv, completely free!

But it is a serious matter and the then government don’t come out too well. So I need to defend them. Boris, Matt Hancock, Dominic Cummings, they’re just ‘humans’ (other than Cummings who patently isn’t) and have faults and were really trying their best. And in that ‘trying’ they swore a bit on whatsapp messages. If that’s a crime, I’m a dead man. So give them some latitude.

Boris didn’t mean to be a totally hapless moron, incapable of understanding the basic nature of what a ‘pandemic’ was, until half the old and vulnerable people had died, at which point he thought that wasn’t such a bad thing, from a ‘economy of the nation’ perspective, so might as well kill of the other half too, save a few bob on pills. And he knew no better, as Italy locked down its population, than to laugh at ‘those stupid fucking eye-ties!!!’, three weeks before he locked us down.

Matt Hancock is just a tosser. His list of ‘Covid crimes’ is so lengthy it needs to be in several volumes. And it doesn’t include ‘the kiss’. As ‘health minister’ at the time he was clueless, uninformed and worse still, refused to be informed by those who actually knew quite a bit about such things.

And Dominic Cummings. The most horrible, arrogant, obnoxious sub-human ever to walk along Downing Street with political purpose. The retrospective justification for Guy Fawkes. Who bossed, mouthed off, drove 300 miles to take his covid up north and spread it around. And who swears at women. Not in a good way, like… some do. But in the ‘superior’, misogynistic, creepy way of people who were very late losing their virginity. A role model for ‘Incels’. His idea of ‘team building’ is to hold all those around him in complete contempt, but especially the women.

So forgive them. I know I have. Well, almost. Because at least we’re still alive to laugh at them.

There was no defence.

Happy Thursday
