Firstly in America as usual, so Trump has finally backtracked publicly at a whithouse briefing urging people to wear masks if they can't socially distance, but that isn't enough because millions of people will take that to mean they can still wander around public spaces and even confined spaces without a mask as long as they are six feet apart. His briefing should have been more precise as to where and when masks are worn. Trump is still calling it the China virus which is a slur on the country of origin as it is still unclear of the true origin of the virus, but that doesn't bother him as he is immune to retaliation as he is the new messiah. While Trump was briefing on coronavirus his acting secretary for the DHS was condoning more unnecessary violence on innocent peaceful protesters stating federal agents "would not retreat" in their efforts to protect government buildings in Portland further stating that "If you are a violent rioter looking to inflict damage to federal property or law enforcement officers, you need to find another line of work," and that they were only targeting and arresting demonstrators who had been identified as being involved in "criminal activity". My question is, does that include the group of mothers abused with batons and tear gas by the thugs Wolf sent in to Portland or the the veteran who served his country seen been beaten with a baton just because he wouldn't move for puny officer inflicting the violence on him. Another question is, If there has been violence against the unnamed federally endorsed jack booted stormtroopers where is the body cam images recorded on the cameras that all law enforcement officers are supposed to wear, proving the violence against them by supposed hammer wielding violent rioters and since when has property been more important than human life, unless your the owner of said property, but that's the mentality of the US president, I wonder what would happen if the protesters started to take their fight over to Trump towers or his golf courses and set fire to them, maybe that would cause Trump a little bit of anxiety. America you are living in one F***** up time of fascism, bigotry, racism and oppression, it's time to deal with it and clean house starting with your president, then the corrupt law enforcement agencies like the DHS who was designed to fight terrorism, not inflict bodily harm on innocent fellow Americans.
Well I have had enough of America for today, let's hop the pond and check out dear old Blighty. Well nothing in the headlines about the pandemic or the sellout of the NHS which is rather worrying in itself, have both just disappeared in a puff of smoke or were they just a hoax. No they are not hoax's, it's just that the present government are choosing to hush them up. As the daily briefings on the pandemic are duly stopped indicating they don't think the news is relevant to the public anymore, choosing to do them when they feel like it or can be bothered, which is taking us back to a time before the pandemic when the first we would hear off a new law or political stance was after the fact and it was too late to stop it. As for the NHS, Johnson is clearly passed the affection stage of his supposed virus attack and clearly see's a profit for himself in breaking up the NHS and making it a 'pay as need service' like in America giving massive profits to the insurance companies and the board members holding the purse strings just so he can get his Trump affiliated trade deal in place before Trump is dethroned in January next year. All this bullshit of putting billions of pounds in to better supporting the NHS is clearly to appease his doubters claiming that there will be no privatisation and the so called pay rises throughout the public sector is all going towards the higher echelon workers who already earn more than they are truly worth, while menial workers see nothing and only get minimum wages as usual.
In other headlines it has been quoted that the report on Russia's interference in UK politics is more than a 50 - 50 chance, but conservatives want it hidden as they will lose their cash cow of backhanders and it is clear we are entering a new phase of the cold war as the government takes yet another step forward in their march towards a dystopian reality as they consider strengthening security laws after a report by MP's has accused them of underestimating the threat of Russian interference. This has brought forth a new call for additional powers as plans to make foreign agents register is raised yet again, but where will it stop? Anyone travelling to Russia for business or a holiday is put on a watch list by MI6 or anyone who has an eastern block heritage is added to an MI5 watch list or should we just go the whole hog and have a central data base where everyone is watched. My mistake we already have one of those in the tax department, Works and pensions department, National insurance department and now the test and trace department, not to mention global tracking of mobile devices, passport chips, photo identity driving licences, criminal record checks, GPS tracking and any other pieces of software that openly use cookies to track your internet searches. Big brother is here, you just didn't realise how close it was as they cleverly disguise it in to everyday life. Just ask yourself the question what do I use on a daily basis that tracks my movements, life pursuits and spending habits? But before I enter the realms of the conspiracy theorist and crawl down that rabbit hole, I will call it a day.
Rant you tomorrow!
