The #UK’s going to Hell but at least we can #laugh about it
I don’t know about you, but This Writer is seeing a noticeable increase in humorous posts about current political affairs.
I guess people have realised that they can’t do anything about all the horrible things the Tories are doing that they might as well try to have a few kicks while they can.
So, after Dominic Raab demonstrated his stupidity on live TV by telling us the police don’t investigate crimes retrospectively, and then admitted that a party had taken place at Downing Street during lockdown, in breach of all the rules…
What, like rapes, murders, theft, assault, etc that took place over a year ago? This is a ridiculous claim. https://t.co/Flrs8LmTgm

On another tack, a Twitter user pointed out a curious correspondence between the Tory attitude to the Downing Street party and Labour’s attitude to putting its own house in order:
The Tories demand that no matter what happened in the past, it stays in the past. Meanwhile Starmer's Labour insists that you can be "guilty" of some made up affront from back in the day even when it was perfectly admissible at the time. Welcome to Britain By Gaslight 2021.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson joined a police drugs raid to publicise his clampdown on anybody who does drugs but isn’t in the government:
Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the government is 'ramping up their campaign against the county lines network', adding 'we want everybody to grow up in safer streets'.
