The crest of the wave

Brexit is very quiet right now.

I mean it still happened and the transition period will end in 14 weeks and the UK hasn’t the infrastructure or IT systems to cope with driving off a cliff, or not driving off a cliff either, because deal or no deal, there has to be checks and assessments. This has been true since May said we would leave the SM and CU.

The Irish Border/regulatory border is still an issue.

There is more action on the IMB this week, though instead of rushing it through all stages into law in a week has been replaced with it going to the Lords “in October”.

But the UK’s much vaunted rival to the EU’s Galileo sat nav system has not so much run into problems as been quietly killed. The money spent has been lost. And the takeover of a US mini-satellite company which had totally incompatible technology was the waste of half a billion pounds that it was always going to be.

This is what happens when you elect the morons into Government and they appoint their rich moronic friends into jobs to deliver policy they know nothing of. Still, we can print more money.

Knives are out for Did Harding, the head of track and trace and the nominal head of the PHE replacement. I have seen buckets of sick with more intelligence. No one, she said, could have predicted the increase in demand for COVID testing after the reopening of pubs, restaurants, telling people to go on holiday, paying everyone a tenner to eat out to help out, sending kids back to school and weeks of banner headlines urging people to return to work in their city centre offices. I mean who could have seen that, other than anyone except Dido Queen of Carnage?

And current figures are for the period before most schools reopened. Its going to get a lot worse.

COVID testing will be rationed to those who are nearly dead. Or something.

Because after being told, by the Government, that anyone who wants a test or feel the need one should just get one, now it is that too people have been getting un-necessary tests and overloading the system.

Meanwhile care homes that have had testing kits are reporting that the kits have not been collected and swabs had to be thrown out. Remember this is the “throwing a protective ring around care homes” in action.

And Johnson warns the public they’re on their last warning over breaking lockdown rules. Oh and it appears Johnson and family flew to Italy last weekend to christen their son in the home of a Russian billionaire who Johnson just made a Lord.

But you follow the rules or else. They say.
