In America, Trump in a briefing has blamed the scenes of police brutality recorded at George Floyd protests across the US on “bad apples”, while also claiming that police and military have “dominated the streets with compassion” to maintain law and order and once again pledging to sign an executive order to establish a use-of-force standard, stopping short of broader reforms. he was speaking at a round table event in Dallas, Texas, where he sought to allay ongoing frustrations saying “We have to work together to confront bigotry and prejudice wherever they appear, but we will make no progress and heal no wounds by falsely labelling tens of millions of decent Americans as racist or bigots" all this while leaving out three of the states leaders who happened to be black and vote as democrats. Trumps administration failed to include Dallas chief of police, Sheriff and district attorney, so how can he have a round table on law and order without the very people responsible for police and law within the state. Meanwhile reiterating his threat to “take back” the streets of Seattle as the city faces ongoing unrest, despite mayor Jenny Durkan warning him that sending in the military would be “unconstitutional and illegal” and that the military was not wanted. Seattle state Governor Jay Inslee stated Trump should stay out of the state's business, and Seattle's mayor backed that up stating any military invasion of the city would be illegal. During the protest Seattle police abandoned a precinct there on Monday after days of clashes as Trump labelled the protesters domestic terrorists for taking back their streets even though since the police withdrew, demonstrations in the area have been largely peaceful as protesters have nicknamed the area Chaz, an abbreviation of Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone where hundreds of people have been gathering to demonstrate, hear speeches and attend events peacefully. While Trump did his big round table of one in Dallas, his political opponent Ex Vice President Joe Biden made his own relativity small prediction that the military will escort Trump from the White House should the president lose November’s election but refuse to leave office. Biden, told the Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, that his single greatest concern is that the president will “try to steal this election” citing Trump’s baseless linking of mail-in ballots to voter fraud, even though he has used this method of voting himself, and his accusations, without evidence, that Democrats are trying to rig the election. I, for one would love to see Trump handcuffed and escorted from the whitehouse straight to New York to face racketeering charges.
What many Americans are seeing is a presidency of one, no senate, no congress, no decision making task force, no cooperation, no constitution and definitely no interest in seeing any other point of view other than the bigoted, racist, narcissistic ranting of a mentally challenged ill equipped deranged individual whose career is sinking rapidly as he shows the country and the world his real face which is, of a failed real estate broker, a man that has declared bankruptcy a number of times on multiple occasions, a failed TV host who's greatest pleasure was using the words "You're Fired" which he seems to love to use as the president also and an ORANGE faced Nazi who has a narcissistic superiority complex which many other people have been hospitalised for. He will go down in history as the worst American president ever or better still will be wiped out of history totally only been used as an example of what not to do.
Anyway enough about America's problems, let's take a look at dear old Blighty's issues of the day. So basically, as Johnson cowers from the public within Downing street, yet another corrupt Tory minister is called out for profiteering as Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick comes under fire from opposition parties over his decision to grant planning permission for a one billion pound property scheme to a housing developer two weeks before the said developer donated twelve thousand pounds to the Conservative Party funds. Jenrick denies any link between the events, but his critics say he still has questions to answer, so will face MP's on Monday at his regular departmental question time. The big question that should be asked and investigated is did he disclose his contacts with the developer as he shared a table with property developer Richard Desmond at a fundraising dinner for the Conservative Party last November, a couple of months before he gave the green light for Mr Desmond's one billion pound Westferry Printworks scheme to build fifteen hundred homes in the Docklands of east London. A spokesperson for the housing secretary told the reporters that the developers did raise their application, but Mr Jenrick informed them that it would not be appropriate for them to discuss the matter with him, or for him to pass comment on it in other words they openly discussed the project as denial is the code for of course we did. We see time and time again the dumb ass politicians putting themselves in the firing line by their own stupidity.
While in other news, relatives of four hundred and fifty victims who have died in the coronavirus pandemic are demanding an immediate public inquiry. The families want an urgent review of "life and death" steps needed to minimise the continuing effects of the virus and a guarantee that documents relating to the crisis will be kept. A full inquiry would take place later, says lawyer, Elkan Abrahamson, who is representing the families, as the government stance is that its current focus should be on dealing with the pandemic, but the COVID-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK group say immediate lessons need to be learned to prevent more deaths, and that waiting for ministers to launch an inquiry will cost lives. So basically as the families grieve the government covers up their ineptitude with constant BS and politically motivated hype that no one needs to know with statistics only the people producing them understands. What this country really needs is a government body they can believe in and trust rather than the present untrustworthy prime minister and cabinet who all preach the BS and try to make believe they really believe it too.
That's me done for today,
Rant you tomorrow!
