Also in the news: emergencies the Tories are creating – to break the law?

Last Updated: September 10, 2021By Tags: , , , , , , , ,

“If you let politicians break the law in an emergency, they will create an emergency in order to break the law.”

Under national emergency Boris Johnson, the UK is lurching from one disaster to another.

Are they deliberately engineering these problems, just so they can change the law in increasingly corrupt ways? You decide…

Distribution of this year’s flu vaccine is delayed due to failure of deliveries nationally

It seems the Tories aren’t happy with Covid-19 killing off tens of thousands of older people; they want flu to finish the job and terminate the rest. It will also paralyse the National Health Service.

The problem is caused by a shortage of drivers, which should remind us that a Brexit-caused HGV driver shortage is ongoing… unless you’re a Tory minister, in which case it was caused by Covid-19. Or whatever excuse Transport Secretary Grant Shapps can dream up today.

The Tory refusal to acknowledge the cause of the problem means it may be with us for a while…

… but we can still derive some (rather bitter) humour from it:

Priti Patel’s attack on channel-hopping migrants: intended to distract from the Tories’ National Insurance daylight robbery?

If so, it seems to be working:

But some of us can see what’s at the heart of it:

So let’s remind ourselves of the Tories’ achievements, courtesy of Steve Howard, below:

History repeats itself: UK had Covid-19 ‘freedom day’ in the summer – now Johnson is threatening ‘Locktober’ in the autumn

Apparently the government is lining up the NHS to take the blame.

And why not? By then, doctors and nurses will be too busy dealing with elderly flu victims to defend themselves.

Also in the news:

Here’s the real reason younger people can’t afford to buy houses

Since the 1970s, house prices have risen at more than twice the rate that wages have increased – mostly due to the last four decades of neoliberal pay-squashing nonsense:

DWP to be humiliated by museum of its greatest hit-jobs on people with disabilities

After demanding that schools re-open too early, Labour demands return of face masks to make sure they can stay open

Meanwhile Covid infections spread via schools are skyrocketing.

Tories may be delaying compensation payments to Windrush scandal victims in the hope that they’ll die first

And finally: after Boris ‘Rivers of Sh*t’ Johnson allowed polluters to dump nearly-raw sewage in rivers, will it hasten the date when England runs out of its water supply?

This is what he did:

But is he hoping we’ve forgotten this?

It’s too late anyway: the rivers are already filling up with Johnson’s… product:

    My first thoughts drew a parallel with the US style UK Home Shopping Channels who seem to endlessly produce solutions for problems that don’t actually exist.

    But the inward thinking Tories don’t have the imagination to provide solutions, they only invent problems to keep us scared and under their control.

    As an addition, Bojob’s 9/11 speech brazenly stated “But while the terrorists imposed their burden of grief and suffering, and while the threat persists today, we can now say with the perspective of 20 years that they failed to shake our belief in freedom and democracy; they failed to drive our nations apart, or cause us to abandon our values, or to live in permanent fear.”
    – Where the terrorists failed, the Tories succeeded in spades !
