  40. The irony is that their coverups draw more attention and cause them to be even less popular than the actual things they’re covering up! I mean, who TF will be even remotely, “surprised,” that all of these WhatsApp messages contain nothing more than a gag reel of sick jokes at the bereaved’s expense, confessions of knowingly doing harm, insider dealing for their friends and family’s brand new, “companies,” meant to provide the protection equipment for hospitals, and MP’s handing off all of their own responsibilities to civil servants!? My dad, having had a series of mini strokes, was like that protagonist in the Christopher Nolan film Memento, where he couldn’t make new memories and he kept asking for his wife, my mum, whom we’d buried the year before. He had it explained to him over and over again that his four children were not allowed to be with him, and why, but forget again within minutes. So, in his world, he died of Covid, alone, and heart broken, unable to comprehend why he was alone. After going through a series of loopholes, so I could get permission to attend his funeral, travelling from Scotland to England, I returned home, weary and emotionally exhausted, so I only have myself to blame for putting on a current affairs program. But the first image I saw when I got back, now SEARED into the scar tissue of my neuro-divergent brain, was some Tory press wonk, standing before the agog press and a live camera, ACTUALLY LAUGHING OUT LOUD at the drunken antics of Cabinet members and Number 10 staff at a series of parties for Boris Johnson’s birthday! I can never relate that vertigo inducing sensation you get when you have been forced against your better judgement to place your trust in the government at a time of genuine, worldwide crisis, only to see that they drunk at the wheel! And LAUGHING IN YOUR FACE! I know there are many out there who went through something similar, some of them with worse mental health issues than me to begin with. And I will NEVER forgive or forget that utterly self-entitled, reckless, arrogant, cruel indifference to the fates of so many trusting fools like me. So now, when I hear that they want to cover up what we all KNOW we will find - cruelty, selfishness, indifference, arrogance, theft under the guise of business as usual and flat out incompetence - I once again feel that revolutionary RAGE boiling in my blood. It will be good for the country when the Tories are sent into the wilderness and not allowed to re-enter the corridors of power until they’ve culled their far right deliberate antagonists of the people and self enriching Masonic lodge Liberal Economics clubs they call, “think tanks,” altogether. But in the mean time, we have one HELL of a mess to clean up and a MOUNTAIN of hard cash to reappropriate for the people who earned it.

  44.  @Rich-ng3yy  : You can relax. It didn’t annoy me. I was curious is all. I haven’t, “debated,” with you at all. Indeed, I was merely pointing out that there is nothing to debate. I cannot speak for, or about, your feelings. They are yours and you are entitled to them. But you didn’t qualify your remarks either, with an, “in my opinion.” You stated your views as though they were established facts. I am not aware of her saying anything, “unfortunate,” or any of the other adjectives you attached to her public role, so I simply wanted to know what these incidents were. You must understand, when you make comments about politicians that have value judgements attached to them, on a political channel, in response to a political comment, during an election period, it is natural that people will ask you to qualify your assessments. They may even wish to, “debate,” you, though I was seeking no such thing. I may have. But my questions were merely about getting more information, perhaps looking up the incidents in question, about which you may well have been right. All of this to say, you have your, “feeling,” about her, and that’s fine. More power to you. She has said some things you found, “unfortunate,” but you cannot recall any of them, so that’s just a feeling too. That’s also fine, but it is equally meaningless in terms of offering anything to the discussion. Yet I would admonish you to expect, “debate,” on a channel which is pretty much for that purpose, and not act all surprised when people challenge assumptions, check your statements or, as was the case for me, merely seek clarification. Hope this somewhat lengthy comment clears things up a bit? No harm, no foul. The rest is up to you.
