Still angry

Johnson is Prime Minister.

He won an 80 seat majority in December’s election.

Against all the odds, the UK left the EU on 31st January 2020.

The reorganisation of the Civil Service is under way, with many senior members have been purged.

The State Broadcaster has been neutralised, it pumps out regurgitated Government statements without criticism.

65,000 excess deaths, 20,000 deaths caused by delaying lockdown, 20,000 more caused by discharging elderly and sick into care homes. All brushed over and described by the PM as a success, and repeated by the BBC.

The hardest of Brexit is within his grasp, the opposition is split, hopelessly.

The referendum was won with lies and law-breaking, but there has been no consequences.

Boundary changes are likely to mean the Conservatives are unlikely to lose an election again.

And yet, Johnson, Cummings and the ERG are unhappy. The BBC is still to left wing. Too wet. Too “woke”. Comedy is too left wing.

The electoral commission is independent, Judicial Review is too independent, so must be reformed to be accountable to the Executive.

Will that bring them happiness?

The new BBC Director General is to ban left wing comedy, making fun of the Government and mentioning Brexit. Satire is dead. Because, the endless satire, poking fun of Johnson and Cummings has really held the Government back.

Right wing comedy is Jim Davidson and Lee Hurst, whilst most else is left wing. Probably. So, lets have Jim Davidson back with his “nick, nick” jokes and that “hilarious” Chalky routines, that’ll bring the viewers back in droves. Maybe they could bring back Mind Your Language or Love Thy Neighbour? Or how about T|ill Death Us do Part, but without the fact that the joke was always on Alf, but this time, the immigrants next door are deported at the end of every episode?

For four years I have been writing that Brexit would always be a trade off between control and trade; the more of one you want, the less of the other you can have. But that sliding scale also applies for almost everything else. The UK wants to control its fishing stocks, though someone needs to tell the fish they must stay in UK territorial waters. But such control will mean a trade off against something else the UK wants; tariff free access to the EU SM for example. Or financial passporting.

That being an “independent” country doesn’t mean the UK can decide whatever, whenever it wants, but still has to horse-trade with the EU and other countries has come as an unwelcome surprise.

This was always going to be the way.

But didn’t DD say that we held all the cards?

Bloody Europeans and their vested interests, looking after the interests of their citizens and businesses, don’t they know we won the war. Twice?

Ungrateful bastards.
