As usual let's start with America, Trump should be pretty happy this morning as his niece's tell all book on the corrupt family has been temporarily blocked from been published by a New York judge who granted a restraining order to Ms Trump's uncle, the president's brother, Robert. Ms Trumps lawyers have said they will appeal the decision immediately as the trial court's temporary restraining order is only temporary but it still is a prior restraint on core political speech that flatly violates the First Amendment civil rights and this book, which addresses matters of great public concern and importance about a sitting president in an election year, should not be suppressed even for one day. So again we see a person in a respectable position of authority bowing down the might of the Trump name siding with Trump's big brother just to help cover up the shady goings on and skeletons in the presidents past. This just pours oil on the fire as people will flock to buy this book just to see what scares the Trump hierarchy. All this as a report surfaces in the UK that Trump's team are email blasting supposed supporters trying to get their support with donations for a sinking ship which panders to one man's ego rather than how he can help the American people. Examples of the emails state the question 'Are you there? I need you more than ever' which is surely illegal, but does show how the Trump campaign team are panicking as Trump's support disintegrates before his eyes over his one minded pursuit of ratings rather than accomplishments.
While Trump keeps trying to gain support with big rallies his democrat opponent Joe Biden has said he will not hold presidential campaign rallies during the coronavirus pandemic. and that this is the most unusual campaign, he thinks, in modern history. While Biden shows a calm collected appearance citing the pandemic as the reason for limiting his public appearances, choosing to conduct interviews from a makeshift TV studio in his basement, the Trump campaign has took to their usual down and dirty rhetoric by calling him "Hidin' Biden". This prompted former Vice President Biden to take aim at the president for his handling of the pandemic stating that month after month, as other leaders and other countries took the necessary steps to get the virus under control, Donald Trump failed the American people, before mocking Mr Trump's declaration that he was a wartime president, followed by saying it seems like our wartime president surrendered, waved the white flag and left the battlefield. It is about time the democrats started playing dirty because another four years of Trump will kill the world standing of the United States of America in the eyes of world populous.
So as Trump's burial plot gets deeper, let's take a look at dear old Blighty. As localised lockdown is implemented in certain areas it is now more clearer than ever that the government must provide vital data more quickly to local authorities to help them deal with COVID-19 spikes in their areas. The comments from the British Medical Association follow criticism about the length of time it took to get testing data to officials in Leicester as the city becomes the first to experience a local lockdown, after a rise in coronavirus cases. As the so called government insists it has been working closely with local partners, the BMA, the union representing doctors in the UK, stated ministers needed to be more open, transparent with COVID-19 data and about how regional spikes in infections will be managed in the future, but while we the commoners suffer as usual Johnson has started looking to the future stated now is the time to be "ambitious" about the UK's future, as he set out a post-coronavirus recovery plan. He vowed to "use this moment" to fix longstanding economic problems and promised a five billion pound "new deal" to build homes and infrastructure by taking plans set out in the Tory election manifesto and speeding up the intensity levels.
Labour and the CBI have called out the government stating that they under Johnson's leadership were not focusing enough on saving jobs. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer had a snide comment stating there was "not much of a deal and not much that's new", while the BBC's economic editor, Faisal Islam, stated there was "nothing really new" in the plans, but was just a pledge from the Treasury to "speed up capital investment that had already been announced and that we would be tolerating a higher level of debt". My question is how can Johnson promise a plan for post-coronavirus when there is no end to the current death rates or spread of the virus, surely Johnson should be focusing his time on saving lives rather than economic BS.
Johnson is just a Trump clone who was elected due to Russian interference which he still refuses to release, the findings of the report by parliament’s intelligence and security committee into alleged Russian interference in UK politics which was supposed to be published at the end of last year. But instead Johnson decided to call a snap election and withhold the report promising to publish it ‘in due course’. Now, six months later, the committee has been in hiatus and the report is still gathering dust. So just like Trump, Johnson refuses to acknowledge the findings of independent committees that will show collusion with Russia and how deep the insertion of Russian operatives within the governmental infrastructure is, heralding a return to the cold war era. That's all from me today.
Rant you Tomorrow!
