Well there is some good news for Boris, his political life is not a 100% total fucking nightmare shit-storm of chaos and stupidity. Because on Thursday the Conservative Party won a bye-election! Well that’s something, surely? Yeah, usually. But this was a weird one. No other major parties stood. Only the Psychedelic Party, which came second, and a couple of other fringe jokers and right-wing tosser groups. Like UKIP. Who were narrowly beaten to third place by the Psychedelic… errrr… lobby? Team? Whatever. And it begs an interesting question: what is the point of UKIP? Now that Brexit is done with, why are they still here? The winning candidate showed the customary delight and celebration, even though she was a ‘walk in’ to the seat of murdered David Amess. It’s like Lewis Hamilton pouring a magnum of Moët over his own head after a drive round Romford with no competitors.

Similarly empty was the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics yesterday. The only people allowed in the stadium were half a dozen presidents and kings and the ‘Party‘ big-wigs. Who, I grant you, read like the menu in your favourite restaurant, but are basically a bunch of old and Covid tested fascists pretending to be communists. No tickets have or will be sold for any event. In celebration of the success of China’s Covid project. Which makes it ironic that Britain, America and others withheld their dignitaries in protest to China’s ‘human rights problems’ (read: GENOCIDE), because they probably wouldn’t have got in anyway.

And how odd that Boris is facing more protest from his own party for a throw-away comment made to Kier Starmer than for all the other and rather more serious incidents, lies, misinformation, truth-avoidance and the culture of entitled untouchability he’s brought to the highest office in the land. For all the bad stuff he just had to throw a few colleagues under the bus. For the comment to Sir Kier he’s lost half a dozen of his closest and most-trusted-and-loyals. Rishi Sunak, when questioned, stated that ‘he wouldn’t have made that comment’ (to Sir Kier). For that he is accused of being Brutus in the continuing sage of Julius Caesar being played out in government as no-one wants to say they’ll stand against Boris but they all want to be next leader.

Fortunately, with inflation rocketing, gas prices overtaking gold and a war about to kick off in Ukraine, the Boris fiasco has very few distractions, because he is way more important than all that shit. It’s democracy, Jim, but not as we know it.

Happy Saturday

A xxxx
