Morally bankrupt

Yesterday, Raab announced that the UK would be tougher on those who commit human rights abuses. 24 hours later, the same Government announced it was lifting the ban on supplying arms to Saudi Arabia, so their Government could use UK arms to further bomb the population in Yemen, which it is estimated displaced 2 million people and killed untold tens of thousands.

But soundbites.

Later, the part time Prime Minister said that there had been so many deaths in care homes as "they didn't follow the rules".

Which is a blatant lie. Not only that is laying blame for the deaths of 20,000 people at the door of those who were doing their best with little or no PPE by the very Government whose policy it was to empty ICUs of elderly people with no COVID tests undertaken and in most cases no medical records supplied.

Which is where we are as a country.

This has upset most in the care industry, as they did their best, lost many worers too, not just those they were trying to care for, and that policy allowed the virus to enter a closed system, spread uncontrolled through many in each home, killing many, many more than would have otherwise have died. Just so the Health Secretary could say that the NHS had not been overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, in Brexitlalaland, the UK has applied to the EU to build border infrastructure in Northern Ireland. Taking back control by asking the EU permission to build something in the UK. Yes, that's showed Johnny Foreigner, cutting off our other leg.

This is what Johnson said was not going to happen, and A UK government spokesperson said: 'We have always been clear that, following the Northern Ireland Protocol, there would be a limited expansion of facilities at some existing entry points, where certain controls for animal and plant health already take place.

'We have submitted applications for these entry points on time and there will be no new customs infrastructure in Northern Ireland.'

"New" doing a lot work, there. This is not going to play well in NI politics one would think, but what do I know.

There was going to have to be a regulatory border "somewhere, if not across Ireland, then in the Irish Sea or not at all.

So, no surprise to me or those who understand the very basic principles of the SM and CU.
