I agree with every single word
Hope is necessary
Hope is a good thing
But the how of aiding in being hopeful
And the how of demolishing hope
A decade of austerity that leaves the country needing “levelled up”
A decade of austerity that was a political/ideological choice
Unable to own its consequence they peddled lies and racist xenophobia of the “tens of thousands”
Because a party that is in power that has deliberately aided and spread calculated racism and xenophobia from a larger platform is a much larger concern
Brexit
That hollow utter shitshow con
Sold by cheats, liars, fools, fantasists, nativists and racist xenophobes who
*NEEDED* and *EXPLOITED* the fertile racism punted by 6 years of Tory rule & the outcomes of its policies
The racism, xenophobia and hate crimes towards human beings simply for being EU citizens
And those who fanned the flames of that racism and xenophobia not even the courage to own or admit it
There is no dividend
There is no sunlit uplands
There is no EU banging on our doors on 24/6/16 as promised to gift the U.K. unicorns
They don’t need us more than we need them
There is no deal that gives us better than what we have now
There is no Brexit plan as promised by Johnson and Gove
The cheat liar and racist who sold the con of brexit
But I don’t focus on him
I focus on those who enabled him knowing full well what he
How they deflect from what he is unable to defend him
Thank you
I am sad at what you have chosen to become in what you sell
But I am angry at the contempt you have for the victims of his lies, cheating and racism.
Boris Johnson and his slavish party of lying cheating racists who cheered on and aided his con and career
Are the worst possible people to be in charge now
A prime minister who waited until all his opponents faced Andrew Neil before he shamelessly ducked out
A prime minister who made up 40 hospitals bullshit
A prime minister who made up new nurses
A prime minister who made up an assault on his health secretary as a news distraction
A prime minister who pocketed the phone of a journalist
A prime minister and his technology tutor
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Of ramping up eternally
Of herd immunity
Of vital time wasted
Or lock down that was done too late
Of press conferences poorly structured
Of press conferences not clear
Of death counts of citizens and of NHS not clear
Given the deaths of nurses, doctors and medical staff
That is not only a lie
It is insulting and abhorrent
That a health secretary & government *chose to say it* well
That says it all
Their propagandists have tried to silence critique whether from
4th estate or from citizens with
Zip It
Shut up
Aggressive questioning
Of wanting more deaths
Plus all the usual decade of t or Tory tropes of left wing, metropolitan elite bullshit
boingboing.net/2016/10/26/eu-…
What they have done
How they have treated our EU neighbours
Still
Their respect for us and compassion for us shines through
I hope
I aspire to hope that this pandemic will be dealt with responsibly by politicians and governments around this planet to minimise its deadly impact & effects
I hope politicians can step up to the gravity of the situation and deal with this
To me is disappointing
But unsurprising
I don’t want more deaths to happen
I don’t really care about the career or legacy of lying cheating racist politicians or how history remembers them
That is all
This government the worst possible people to be in charge at this point in time
This reminder of Spanish flu sadly shows many lessons haven’t been learnt from history
