Well as we move on through another week of pandemic uncertainty, let's see what's there to rant about.
In America Kamala Harris has accepted her historic nomination as the US Democratic party's vice-presidential candidate, running with Joe Biden for the White House. In a speech to her party convention, the first US woman of colour on a major-party ticket assailed Trump's failure of leadership, pledged to speak truths to the American public and urged Americans that they must elect a president who will bring something different, something better, and do the important work. Harris also hit back at Trump's racism pledging that they would revive a country fractured by the coronavirus pandemic and racial tension, but that there was no vaccine for racism, stating they've got to do the work to rectify Trump's failure that has cost lives and livelihoods. Before Harris gave her speech the air was filled with condemnation of Trump by former president Barack Obama who in his speech went all out to paint a future under Trump as grim and that a second term would tear down democracy to win. Obama carried on fanning the flames of Trump's ego by attacking his narcissism, conspiracy theories, corruption and laziness calling his presidency a 'reality show for the attention he craves' as he also urged people to vote for Joe Biden
As the democrat convention televised both Obama's and Harris's speeches Trump swiftly hit back in his own mentally deranged way, tweeting about Ms Harris' previous attack on Mr Biden over his record on race issues, while they were both rivals for the Democratic White House nomination. Politics is a dirty game, but this time around I believe it will get worse as Trump's campaign put's it's illegal and inappropriate plans in to action to disrupt and disorientate the American voting public from removing their inept and corrupt president. Come November the problems will multiply with the issues within USPS, closed polling stations, pandemic spreading and corrupt electoral practices, but the worst outcome will be if Trump loses because his narcissism will kick in to overdrive causing one of two things. The first thing that may happen will be Trump refusing to vacate the Whitehouse and secondly his campaign team trying to cause problems by calling the result in to question. These are the issues that need addressing sooner rather than later because America is dealing with a madman who wants to president forever.
On that disturbing thought let's take a look at the issues in dear old Blighty. So as the government has one crisis after another the question been asked is why are the UK's MP's not holding the current government to task as the cases of incompetence are definitely overwhelming. With the country in the midst of a national pandemic, virus cases beginning to rise again, the abolishment of England's main public body, the debacle over exam results and a fallen recession, not to mention the failure of Brexit we find the primeminister absent from parliament and Downing Street supposedly taking a camping holiday in Scotland instead of running the country. So again I ask the question where are Britain’s MP's when they are needed? The conventional explanation is that this is simply the usual long summer recess. Parliament almost never sits between late July and early September, but MP's have met only twice in August in the last half century which in my opinion is disgusting considering the money they earn especially the primeminister. Why as a voting public do we accept a governing body that closes longer than schools during holidays?
It is surely not the time for holidays when the country is at it's lowest for centuries with no possible answers to where we go from now while been governed by idiots who keep rolling out ineffective plans and policies to combat the issues facing the country. As we wake to new issues each and every day the public are starting to lose their faith in the government, but we have no way of removing the government for over three years which will see the country in a deeper quagmire of hell than we are already in. We have a primeminister who has not been seen in public more than a dozen times since the pandemic hit the UK and cabinet ministers who are not qualified to do the roles they have been given which is totally unacceptable from a leader. On that I leave you to stew on the fact we have an absentee leader and an ineffective cabinet, so I will call it a day,
Rant you tomorrow!
