So while Biden tries to unify the country ready for his inauguration in January and the fight ahead, Trump was holding rallies in Georgia inciting his unmasked moronic supporters. He was officially there to support the Republican candidates trying to re-win the two seats the Republican party needs to hold the Senate Majority, but in his two hour speech he still denied he had lost the election and instead told supporters he would still win, blaming the State Governor and Secretary of State of Georgia for not pushing his orders through to call a special session and convince legislators to pick electors who would support him. He openly preached how the election was been stolen by illegal votes again ‘official bashing’ claiming his order for signature checking was not been undertaken. What you have is a man who doesn’t like been defeated and will do anything and everything including breaking the law to get what he wants. This is not a man used to conceding defeat, this is a man that rather than accept the will of the people will use every underhanded act at his disposal to win or at the very least cause unrest within the camp of his enemies. Trump needs to be stopped and needs to be made an example of by the highest courts in the land, he cannot be allowed to carry on inciting unrest and preaching false ideology amongst the morons who fall at his feet as if he is a ‘GOD’. This has been proven by the illegal show of force in front of the Michigan Secretary of States residence by ‘ARMED’ Trump supporters who chanted “Stop the steal” as Jocelyn Benson and her family tried to watch a Christmas film. This is an act of aggression by people who believe force is better than peace and could escalate it to the point of mass deaths for the innocent person just doing their job.
While the rest of America suffers with unemployment, financial ruin, illness and death, you have a president who would rather preach to a group of idiots than work to implement a successful plan to eradicate the deadly virus consuming America and the rest of the world. Even the moron [Rudy Giuliani] trying to fight Trump’s election defeat in the courts has succumb to the virus and has been hospitalised, not to mention Trump’s son been struck down with it. This the madness of the American first family, allies and supporters as they still try to deny the very existence of the COVID-19 virus by burying their heads in the sand to ignore the fact that under their watch America has falling fowl of this deadly disease to the tune of over ‘TWO HUNDRED and EIGHTY THOUSAND’ dead with nearly ‘FIFTEEN’ million positive cases in America alone. The figures don’t lie, just the politicians who wish to hide the truth from the American people who value their freedom of speech, freedom of liberty and the right to bear arms before their own mortality. Come on America start to put life before death, sanity before insanity, democracy before fascism instead of what you are doing at the moment which is choosing death of loved ones over life by ignoring the simple safety requests of the World Health Organisation to wear masks and stop congregating in mass.
On that note of insanity I will return my rant to the shores of dear old Blighty where our politicians are trying sweep their ineptitude under the proverbial rug by using the roll out of a hastened vaccine as a win. So as the supposed super drug to combat COVID-19 has started to appear at some hospitals within the UK ready for roll out nationwide, don’t expect it to be happening anytime soon because most people won’t see anything positive until between January and March next year which will be a full year since the first cases were reported. The roll out will be staggered and will be determined by need and age first as shown in this diagram below,
So the basics are that the elderly and vulnerable including hospital staff and carers will get the vaccine first and we can expect the numbers of cases and deaths to still rise above the numbers shown below even though the rise has slowed significantly.
Yet while most headlines are still fixed on the virus and the vaccine what is somewhat disturbing beyond the pandemic is the lack of progress our inept government is making on the Brexit front as talks have once again stalled. The failing ideology that the UK will be better off without the EU is just another example of a rushed decision. The referendum was a failure waiting to happen because the UK trade was installed so deep within the common market nothing would ever be right once Brexit came to pass. We have had a Conservative government in charge of removing a deep routed institutional hierarchy which has been in place since 1973. Yet for just over four years they have move forward without a static structured plan to gain a positive trade and economic deal. We are nearing the end of the transition period and facing a no-deal Brexit which inevitably means the UK will move forward with stronger border checks and taxes been introduced for goods travelling between the UK and the EU, but deal or no deal, we will still see changes which will cost the UK dearly in the increase of costs to export to Europe as we lose the right to the common market benefits. All in all the UK as a whole is going to ‘hell in a handbasket’ under the leadership of the Conservatives, especially Boris Johnson. Johnson, who infamously vowed to get Brexit done ‘do or die’, has told his chief envoy Lord Frost that he will not sign any deal that binds Britain to future Brussels laws while it is reported that ministers are pushing ahead with restoring controversial clauses to the Internal Market Bill, which enraged the EU as they would effectively override parts of the previous Brexit divorce terms to prevent blockages between Britain and Northern Ireland. The stupidity of our elected officials shows no calming as Cabinet ministers yesterday rallied behind Johnson, insisting that he was not afraid to crash out of the EU Single Market and Customs Union without an arrangement in place by January 1st next year.
As we start a new week all I see in the global headlines is inept leaders, especially in the US and the UK peacocking themselves as if they have a ‘God’ given right to display their bullishness without criticism or accountability. They seem to forget they are in their positions to serve all the people, not just the rich privileged people of their countries. We are living in the twenty first century, not the eighteenth century and everyone deserves to be treated with equality instead of obscurity, everyone has a civil right to live a better life and not be downtrodden by those individuals who managed to spread enough ‘BS’ to gain them the majority vote placing them in a position of power. It is time serving the majority was taken seriously rather than doing what is visible to gain support while obscuring the illegality beneath the surface and hope it stays hidden. On that I will call it a day,
Rant you tomorrow!
Back Wednesday.
