So it is coming up on seven days since the failed coup in America and it is week three of England’s third lockdown since March 2020. Yet there is no solutions to either situation appearing on the horizon. All there is, is more and more BS coming from the politicians elected. Let’s have a look at what has or has not happened in the last two days.
In America as the FBI chase down the insurgents captured on film and start arresting individuals, nothing is happening to the inciter of the violence that took place last Wednesday in America’s capitol city. Trump still lounges safely in the oval office and still has control of the country instead of been in a jail cell alongside the perpetrators responsible for the storming of the capitol building. Where is the justice been seen to be handed out? How can the man still be classed as the President of the United States? Articles of impeachment have once again been drawn up ready to be voted on, but how can anything go forward when you still have the majority of Senate Republicans refusing to enact on the call for Trumps removal from office. Congress can bolster the votes and pass the impeachment, but once again it’s down to the Senate to impeach and charge Trump which won’t happen with McConnell, Graham, Cruz and Hawley leading the revolt to save Trump. Until the Democrats can turn most of the sitting Republicans to their side nothing will happen to Trump opening the door to him doing more damage and giving him the chance to declare himself a runner in the 2024 election. Senators like Cruz, Hawley and any others who supported the move to stop Biden’s certification should be forced to resign their positions because they have acted treasonous in their call for the legal election to be overturned and for their own rhetoric of lies calling the election rigged.
It has been reported that if Trump is impeached again that Giuliani would be his lawyer of choice to represent him. My question to that why has Giuliani not been arrested for incitement yet, when he was clearly seen and heard to call for a trial by combat at the rally held by Trump just an hour before armed pro-Trump supporters attacked and overran the capitol building. At the very least he should be barred from practising law within America, even though he should be jailed for his treasonous rhetoric since the November 3rd election which led up to last Wednesdays failed coup. This should happen immediately preventing such a fraudulent lawyer from representing Trump in any impeachment hearing. Most of the Trump children, especially Don Jnr. Should be facing legal action for their part in the same rally also.
To try and appease the nation and his accusers Trump has been seen to back the Mayor of Washington DC’s call for a state of emergency to be enacted due to the possibility of more armed riots before and during Biden’s inauguration on January 20th. This will mean if such a gathering like that seen on January 6th the mayor and the DC police will have federal backing to quash an uprising. More and more information is filtering out about a plan to attack all 50 states capitol buildings which is a scary possibility creating massive unrest and problems for law enforcement. Yes, people have the right to protest, but to call for a simultaneous attack on federal properties is a clear act of insurgents and treason against the country and if it was anyone other than white American citizens planning this the full force of America’s federal law enforcement would be smashing down doors under the terrorism laws of the land to prevent it happening. This is clearly a double standard, when white American’s are given the benefit of the doubt instead of been classified as domestic terrorists when Muslim or Antifa extremists would already be languishing in a detainment facility.
The shining light to come from January 6th is that it has forced social media platforms to ban Trump from using them to preach his false rhetoric and ideology to the masses unchecked. They have also started to shutdown accounts held by member of the ‘Proud boys’ and ‘QAnon’ who use the platforms to organise demonstrations. Even though this is a good move on the likes of Titter, Facebook, YouTube, etc., the move is clearly at least four years too late because if Trump had been monitored properly from the beginning, his lies and falsehoods would not have brainwashed so many individuals in to believing he is a cult leader. Lessons have to be learned and policies need to be changed starting with the removal of Fox news’s licence to broadcast while they still employ hosts like Hannity and Carlson who clearly use their shows to incite unrest.
On that thought I will now take a look at dear old Blighty for any ongoing rantable issues. So as I said in England we are starting week three of our third lockdown called by our incompetent Primeminister which sees many thousands of people effected by a forced isolation just to stay safe from infection once again. What really disgusts me is the clear signs of money laundering been done by this Conservative government. Since Johnson took the helm as Primeminister there has been an increase in nepotism in the way government contracts have been distributed without tender to companies run by former Tory members, Leave campaign supporters or party donors. The most recent is for the supply of free school meals parcels to those eligible during lockdown and another for providing food boxes to those shielding or vulnerable. Both Edenred with the Department for Education supplying the Voucher scheme for children on free school meals and BFS Group along with Brake Bros with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs supplying food boxes for shielded and vulnerable people between them gaining contracts worth 446 million pounds without having to compete with anyone else. This doesn’t include the 470 million pounds in contracts dished out to eight other companies for the sole purpose of supplying computers for teachers and disadvantaged children or supplying test kits, reagents, training material and support for virus checking or the supplying necessary PPE. This total of nearly one billion pounds is atrocious!
The latest public outcry has come as families started to receive parcels relating to free school meals vouchers with one disgusted parent posting a picture of the contents on social media. The said parcel which cost £30 of public funds, yet is seen to only contain around £5 worth of food which also appeared less than fresh. Chartwells the company responsible has blamed the contents on having such short notice of when they had to supply the parcels which is pure ‘BS’, also they claim the parcel seen is for 5 days not 10 and was valued at £10.50 not £30. Either way the contents wasn’t worth £10.50. This is a company that saw a way of how they could make a quick profit off the suffering of those in need like all the companies that have recently received government contracts and it isn’t the first time Compass group who own Chartwells have been accused of such poor service. Even in the major supermarkets £30 gets you a whole lot more than what Chartwells are providing which is a disgrace and not worth the tax paying public’s money.
Some of the companies used by the government for supplies throughout this pandemic have been set up and run by lackeys of the Johnson regime pocketing thousands of pounds weekly without providing an adequate service they are getting paid to provide. Some of the companies barely have the finances or the staff to provide the service required, yet in their wisdom our Conservative leadership has thrown multiple millions of pounds at their friends rather than receive tenders from more well established firms or businesses that can actually provide the service needed. It is time for this government to be replaced from the top down.
It doesn’t matter which country you hail from the people running government are using companies and businesses which will enhance their own finances. From Trump using his own hotels, golf courses and placing family members in high value positions all been paid by tax payers money to Johnson and the untendered contracts given to donors and friends. The money been made off the suffering of others is just disgusting and immoral. These people have supposedly taken an oath to serve their countries and their own constituents, but have clearly spend their time filling their own pockets with under table deals. It was even reported that Trump’s hotel costs and golf buggy hire charges for secret service staff who are required to stay close the president at all times was dramatically increased which is just blatantly wrong and downright illegal. For me any politician found to be profiteering from their position should come under imminent threat of legal action, if not imprisonment. For too long politicians have been allowed to get away with criminality without consequence. We are living in the twenty first century and still we allow certain individuals to subvert and commit acts of abuse within power. It is time a more stringent eye is kept on every person taking on the oath of any political office and hold them to the high standard to which the position requires. On that note I will call it a day,
Rant you tomorrow!
Back Friday.
