In America, Trump has spat his dummy out once again and threatened to relocate the Republican National Convention if restrictions are placed on the crowd size due to the coronavirus pandemic.The event is due to take place in North Carolina from 24-27 August. Trump said he would move the site of the convention if "full attendance" is not guaranteed, this coming from the man that has overseen almost 100,000 deaths from coronavirus in the US. So in other words the American president is more worried about how many people can hear his propaganda speeches than how many people will die from the coronavirus should he be allowed to have his own way. Trump's opposition democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has made his first public appearance after more than two months in quarantine amid the COVID-19 crisis. respecting lockdown protocols Biden appeared wearing a black face mask as he laid a wreath of white roses at a ceremony in his home state of Delaware with his wife at his side. Biden told reporters through his mask and at a distance "It feels good to be out of my house," adding: "Never forget the sacrifices that these men and women made. Never, ever, forget". Trump also laid a wreath to celebrate Memorial Day at the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington National Cemetery with all the pomp and show expected of the inept ignorant president he is, putting lives at risk just so he can have his ego stroked.
While back in dear old Blighty, the other inept ignorant leader has backed his chief aid once again for breaking lockdown rules to travel from one end of England to the other. Mr Cummings has faced calls to resign after it emerged he had driven his child and ill wife from London to County Durham during lockdown. At a news conference in the garden of 10 Downing Street yesterday afternoon, he said he did not regret his actions, and believed he acted reasonably and legally. Cummings also said he was testing his eyesight to see if he could make the trip back down to London. He explained that he had experienced some eyesight problems during his illness. In itself that comment was stupid because attempting to drive nearly three hundred miles to test his eye sight is extremely dangerous just to see if there was any problems, normal people would seek medical advice beforehand. On the back of this statement PM Boris Johnson in his own statement defended Cummings again, telling reporters that he believed his chief adviser had acted reasonably and legally which sounded just like the proverbial get your story right and read from the script type of statement expected. The prime minister also announced that non-essential shops in the UK would be allowed to open from the 15th June. Outdoor markets and car showrooms will be able to open on the 1st June meaning more strategic planning and nightmares. both Cummings and Johnson were also backed by Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove who said Mr Cummings' account of his actions was "exhaustive, detailed and verifiable" and "people will make their own mind up", but as reported there are still six unanswered questions, no one involved in government have opened up to answer which isn't unusual as this particular government are very good at deflecting and covering up the truth.
Rant you tomorrow!
