We have entered yet another weekend with lockdown restrictions on our daily lives, for the first time since the second world war we are been told what, where and how to live our lives by a political leader outside the scope of the normal rights of law due to some outside force attacking us. In every democratic country on the planet some form of martial law type scenario is been allowed to rule our lives.

In America one man's ego is fuelling a race war amongst the people invoking a soldiers on the street policy just so he can quell peaceful protests about the treatment of a society, who's blood and sweat that country was built upon. America has risen to be a world super power on the back of slavery, indentured servitude, immigrant workforce's and women of all colours, no matter the religion while the white privileged misogynist males have sat back on their asses and pocketed the proceeds while committing atrocities. What men like Trump fail to see is these people are the reason he is where he is, not the white supremacists, well off businessmen or the republican politicians. Trump in a speech had the audacity to use a dead man's name to politicise his call for equal justice under the law saying that it must mean that every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement regardless of race, colour, gender or creed adding people have to receive fair treatment from law enforcement. After giving that speech Trump was condemned by his Democratic challenger Joe Biden (who is now officially the democratic parties Presidential nomination) for invoking George Floyd's name as he touted US jobs figures. In his readiness for his dethroning in November Trump has also given the order to remove a third of US troops currently based in Germany by September due to his ideals that European members of Nato should spend more on their own defence, reportedly wanting US troop levels capped at 25,000. All troops would either be redeployed elsewhere or return to America as tensions between the US and its Nato allies have increased under Mr Trump who stated that Europe's North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) members should no longer be relying so heavily on the US to shoulder the costs of maintaining the alliance. 

So to recap, as the president of a world super power Trump gives the rich the biggest tax breaks, he puts up a physical border between North and South America, he condones white supremacy, he condones racial abuse, he performs illegal acts, he has ordered the US military on to the streets of America, he condones the use of violence on peaceful protesters by police and soldiers, he simply sacks anyone who speaks up against him, he has been accused of treason, he has been accused of sexual assault and rape, he is under investigation for racketeering and tax evasion, he has been bankrupted numerous times with many of his business ideas failing costing investors millions, he has transferred money from charitable funds in to his personal bank accounts, he has used nepotism to fund his and his families lifestyles by giving contracts to companies owned by his family, he has stated that he would reside in the whitehouse for more than eight years and now he has ordered that a third Us troops home from Germany. All this as an elected leader which as a British citizen just dumb founds me how he was ever elected in the first place. What you have is a big baby who spits his dummy out at the least cause and has now ordered the construction of a further barricade to keep him safe in his big white residence.

So as America fights with its leader, let's take a look at dear old Blighty and its leader has been up to. As Johnson once again hides away from public view the Health Secretary Matt Hancock has urged people not to breach lockdown rules to take part in mass demonstrations following the death of George Floyd and during a Downing Street briefing he stated he was "appalled" at the African American man's death, but that coronavirus remains "a real threat". Black Lives Matter protests are planned in towns and cities across the UK this weekend. Which has prompted a senior Met Police officer earlier to warn that such gatherings were "unlawful". So once again big brother is trying to quell the voices of the people by inciting made up laws which are deemed for health reason while the government itself does not abide by them. Like the Isle of White's conservative MP Bob Seely breaking the rules to attend a barbecue and It seems that the fact of the Cummings affair has disappeared from the headlines makes the point that a story today will not last till tomorrow as it is eclipsed All in all it doesn't matter which country you reside in the law is the law unless you are rich, powerful, in politics or serve as a police officer then you can do exactly as you please and f*** the rest.

Rant you tomorrow!
