Welcome to the pandemic zone, will all participants please remember to wear masks at all times, refrain from touching and socially distance from each other, unless you're a politician then please catch the virus so we can find someone better to lead us. Well a little bit of sarcasm to start the day always helps, now on with the rant.

In America, Trump deems everyone as stupid loser's from dead war heroes to mask wearing reporters. Yesterday in a press conference Trump insisted the Reuters journalist remove his mask because Trump couldn't understand him because he was muffled. The reporter refused, so Trump moved on to a question from another reporter who did remove his mask to ask his question. As Trump answered he lauded it over the Reuters journalist saying "You sound so clear as opposed to everyone else where they refuse". This pisses me off how a person who should be diplomatic whilst performing the role of president takes every opportunity to be condescending and insulting, is this really what America wants?  During the same speech which was supposed to be a Labour day speech to the people, but was more like a campaign speech Trump spouted lie after lie from America having the best job recovering in history to how successful America's fight against the pandemic is, all while slandering his presidential rivals who he called 'radical socialists' claiming them to be anti-law and order as well as anti-vaccine. Trump then lost it and prattled on about how news headlines over his connections with Russia and is remarks about dead soldiers was all fake slander by the Democrats to undermine his success as a first term president. All I see when Trump speaks is a toilet regurgitating BS that needs replacing with a thorough chemical cleaning to remove the disgusting smell it has left behind. The Whitehouse needs fumigating and the pest controllers need sending in to remove the rats and cockroaches that have usurped their way in to the halls of power cutting away at the faeces that has blocked the flow of liberty and freedom the country once prided itself on. I am an impartial observer from another country who has no voting right and I endorse Biden for president with Harris for VP, anything is better than Trump and Pence. The latter is of dictator with his trusted evangelical lapdog while the former is a proven VP and a Lady of very high morals.

On that note I believe I will check in on dear old Blighty's own cockroaches presently encamped within Downing Street. The rise in positive cases of COVID-19 is alarming considering how effective plateauing the rise was in early July, but since the governments all too quickness in easing the lockdown the infection rate has slowly rose until this week where it nearly doubled in one day, yet ministers and experts are claiming the sudden rise is down to the amount of tests been done today compared to February and March prior to lockdown. Personally I believe it is their way of denying the sudden rise is their fault as was the amount of deaths in the early days of the pandemic. Their inept decision making and delayed action was the cause of the initial death toll where as their need to get the economy restarted and lockdown easing are the cause of the newest rise in identified cases. Another rising issue isn't in how many tests are not been carried out it is the backlog of previously taken tests that laboratories are finding it hard to cope with. Wouldn't it be more prudent for the government to increase the number of authorised laboratories that could help with the backlog rather than pat themselves on the back for increasing the number of tests done. Surely it is purely a maths problem [Number of people tested + Number of laboratories testing + People identified and isolated = Less people infected or dead in the future], or is that too taxing on a simple politicians brain. Johnson and his cronies cannot seem to get anything right at the moment seeming to stumbling around in the dark looking for the light switch of inspiration to flick on. As well the shitstorm the new restrictions on people congregating together at any one time been reduced once again along with a heightened emphasis on fines for flouting the law, there is the ineptitude and blatant bully boy tactics they are trying to use to push a Brexit deal through. When will they realise there is no deal to be made and should beg to be let back in to Europe before it's too late. The country has no lifeline come December when we officially leave Europe for good. There is no other trade deals rising from other non-EU countries, there is a rather large debt still owed to Europe which comes due on exiting the community and we have too weaker negotiating platform as Europe holds all the cards which controls our financial future, not to mention the uncertainty of non-UK manufacturing companies based in the UK who will lose their trade deals to export in to the European union who may well decide to pull out for a more advantageous site elsewhere on mainland Europe putting our economy is the mire increasing the already high unemployment within country. All in all The future for dear old Blighty is looking decidedly dicey. I know today was short and not very sweet, but I think I will call it a day,

Rant you tomorrow!
