We start another Friday in the grip of COVID-19, Trump's fascism, Johnson ineptitude and stand three quarters of of the way through 2020, one of the worst years in human history for deaths, violence and governmental bureaucracy, so let's see what today has to say shall we.
As America witnesses the final day of the RNC and hears Trump's promises to make things better, things just seem to be getting worse. In his acceptance speech as the Republican parties nominee for president Trump warned his Democratic challenger Joe Biden would "demolish" the American dream if he wins the White House in November. Within his speech Trump depicted his opponent as the destroyer of American greatness stating Biden would unleash "violent anarchists" upon US cities. So as the 2000 GOP morons took to their seats with out masks or social distancing creating yet another pandemic spreading situation to watch a Donald J Trump ego boosting made for television production illegally thrown on the south lawn with the whitehouse as it's background, Trump took to the stage to instil yet more lies and deceit in to the minds gullible American supporters. Within a speech lasting just over an hour he demonized the democrats, endorsed police Brutality, Promised a COVID-19 vaccine by year end, Portrayed a Utopian future, used the peoples house as political window dressing, portrayed himself as benevolent leader and made countless promises that are impossible to bring to fruition. At one point he turned his back on the audience, held his arms up as if to hug the Whitehouse before he turned back around proclaiming this is why we are here and the democrats aren't, then carried on and spouted one lie after the other painting an America under Biden as a lawless, anarchistic dystopia of a possible future which if you look at the streets of America is already here under a Trump administration. To end the festivities there was a firework display at the Washington monument which was most definitely paid for by the taxpayers not the Trump campaign. Trump was then seen glad-handing with supporters without any social distancing measures in place. All I can say is as an outsider if America reelects Trump it will be a slippery slope in to world isolation and the rise of an authoritarian dictatorship which will be the fall of a once great and revered nation.
As the RNC carried on with its self aggrandising racially motivated rhetoric more protests were happening around the country not all by people on the streets, but also in sporting venues. At a baseball game between the New York Mets and the Miami Marlins the players took to the field for a minutes silence which lasted forty seven seconds before both teams left the field in protest and in solidarity with the protesters leaving a Black Lives Matter shirt on the home plate of Citi Field for the cameras to witness. This is where America needs to be showing solidarity within sports, movies, TV shows and through celebrities coming together to push the ordinary American in to removing Trump from office. It is a travesty of national pride that this man has been allowed to use America's national monuments to promote his propaganda during the run up and acceptance of his nomination to represent the Republican party. His actions is one of disrespect for the traditions outlined by America's forefathers that no one man is above the law, yet time and time again Trump has been seen to do just that by his use of American taxpayers dollars to fund his lavish life style while laundering millions in to his families bank accounts by insisting Trump hotels and businesses be used for events while openly flaunting the use of his presidential power for his own good. America the time is drawing closer for you to make up your mind, for the sake of the world make it Biden over Trump no matter your political view because it is no longer a question of your political allegiance and stead fastness to vote one way or the other, but a matter of man versus monster and I will leave you to decide who is the monster.
On that note I will hop the pond to see what dear old Blighty's monster has been up to. So as the school reopening row still thunders on in only England, the government has now also turned its sights on workers. Johnson and his cabinet will once again encourage people to go back to their workplaces as part of a government campaign starting next week. MP's will start a push to get employers to reassure staff it will be safe to return to their specific roles by highlighting measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
This new tactic comes on the back of business leaders warning of the damage being done to city centres in lost revenue as people stay away from offices. The campaign, which will launch as most schools in England and Wales reopen, predominantly been promoted through regional media. It will not promote the possibility of Job losses, but in fact will try to insist that those who continue to work from home are not at any greater risk of losing their jobs, while the opposition party has voiced a concern stating that no one should be forced to choose between their health and their job and the government should "categorically rule out" any campaign that instils a mentality that if people don't return to the workplace their jobs are at risk.
So the governments idea of getting the country running again is to forgo the public health issues and promote unemployment as a possibility for absentee workers who fear for their lives. As the COVID-19 positive cases rises once again to around 1500 individuals in two months work is considered a priority for a government more worried about the economy than peoples safety. In recent days we have seen Johnson doing just that by risking the health of school children by holding a speech where kids were not using social distancing protocols or wearing masks which is the height of hypocrisy. Johnson was also seen on camera entering a school class room were children were sitting side by side in a confined space as a publicity stunt putting everyone at risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus. This just shows you the mentality of the man running our country as he once again tries to marginalise the problems we as a country face. What is the point of trying to instil policies for the multitude when the man setting these policies is once again seen to flaunt them on national television. Why has the questions not been asked about social distancing in schools when it is clearly not been followed by the particular schools Johnson has recently visited. All I see is a primeminister more interested in getting his face in the news than the safety of those people and students that are been used as a propaganda implement as the government pushes its ill-fated strategies and policies down the public's throats day after day with only one thing in mind and that is how they can climb out of the mire they have got themselves in to through ineptitude and politically damaging decisions. It seems that we just keep going round in circles without any effective outcome being reached. We all know in our heads the right course of action is to return back to normality, but until there is a proven vaccine that saves lives from this newest strain of coronavirus life will never be normal again and the economy along with peoples mortality will just keep creating a metaphoric sink hole in the makeup of today's society. The government is drowning in the way they are handling the situation and continually knock back the offers of help from both friendly and opposing MP's just so they can save face. What is needed is a coalition to eradicate the current problems then to call for another general election so the people can have a say on our future, not the politicians as it is happening now. On that I will call it a day,
Rant you tomorrow!
