We’ve had a new government in for 10 minutes now, possibly a few weeks, and I’ve not been impressed. They’ve immediately caved in to union demands. All of them. The Starmer way, then. Why ‘negotiate’ when ‘caving in totally’ is so much easier, quicker. The whole thing with unions is that it’s in their mandate to ‘try and take the fucking piss’ as much as is possible. The idea of negotiations is to try and reduce what are always frankly ridiculous demands by some form of quid pro quo in which, ok, you can have more money, BUT, we want to include weekend work, or we won’t reduce the working week to 13.5 hours. Yet no. Just ‘give ‘em what they want’. Possibly because Starmer is a weakling, but possibly because the Labour Party, and hence the government, are effectively ‘sponsored’ by the Unions. The Party’s only source of income. So rather than bite the hand that feeds it, Kier is licking that hand very softly.

Next came David Lammy’s re-funding of Hamas. Oh, sorry, refunding of UNWRA. Same difference. Our government is now supporting terrorists and paying for their training. Which is possibly why the BBC (another government entity) have elevated Hamas to the ‘Civil Defence Authority’ in recent reporting. They’ve been promoted from being ‘proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK government’. Rather than ever just calling them ‘jihadi motherfucking scumbag murdering vermin’. Presumably there’s a ‘scale’ at the BBC and murdering, raping and torturing just 1200 people doesn’t qualify as ‘terrorism’ any longer. Maybe the BBC will be demanding for ISIS to be accepted in the United Nations. Where, quite frankly, they’d fit in perfectly.

There’s now deep murmurings that the tax, which we were absolutely promised was ‘not going to rise under this government’, is going to rise. Under this government.

But today, the totally unforgivable. They’re going to extend Coucils authority to increase 20mph speed zones across more boroughs. I mean, why??? To slow down already ridiculously slow-moving traffic (average London journey speed: 6mph)? Oh, it’s to save children. Not the ones being ‘murdered’ in Gaza in numbers way beyond their total population of children, but different ones. British ones. (The death of any child anywhere is beyond tragic, this is just a question over the numbers and who produces them). Running out into the road all the time. Oh, those children. It is simply the worst idea EVER. Do they not consider that some cars have ‘sport mode’ or as my brother-in-law calls it: the ‘naughty switch’. It’s when it all gets ‘angry’. Louder, lower, faster, more brutal. How the fuck do you reconcile that with 20mph zones, Mr Fucking Prime Minister? It’s an abuse of my human rights.

Happy Thursday
