April fools

A year ago I mused that life was shitty enough without people making more crap up for the 1st of April.

I think that hold true for this year too.

Just when you think it couldn't get any more bizarre.

It does.

At least one of the people whom the report into racism said had contibuted said that no one had contacted him at all in its creation, and all the critism levelled against the report he agrees with.

The Government's senior advisor on ethnic monorities chose to resign the day after the report was published. But the Government said he was going to resign anyway without the report as he thought the country hadn't been levelled up. Not quite the ringing endorsement that the Government think it is, really.

Europe is now crashing into the thrid wave of infections caused by the "Kent variant" which the UK spent the last three months dealing with. As Johnathan Lis points out, it seems rather negligent for Macron to look at what was happening in the UK and thinking that none of that chaos would end up there. France has several land borders, maybe it swept in across one of those, rather than over or under the Channel.

But although, here in the UK, there is a ban on freign travel, there is an allowance for those who are selling property, so the PM's father has travelled again to Grece, apparently to sell his holiday home. Lets see if it makes the listing, or the allowance in regulations was literally just for the PM's Dad to go on holiday.

Again.

When the Government can lie and suffer no consequences either in Parliament or in the media, then our demoracy dies on its arse. Nothing much really surprises any more, the corruption, the chumocracy, the sheer ineptitude of it all, and if there were an election tomorrow, he would probably win by an even greater margin.

130,000 deaths isn't enough, apparently.
