On passive murder



The government are now trolling us and trampling on our emotions, that much is clear.

But they are *responsible* for the fact we now have the highest death toll.

They knew it would happen.

How much more literal does it need to be for people to really and truly tune into the severity of this issue?

If they gathered together tens of thousands of elderly people, NHS workers, TFL staff, people with underlying health conditions and some healthy adults and children for good measure, and gunned them down, and we could see photos of the bodies, would we be asking them about eye tests?

There are some things that aren't memeworthy. The death toll is one of them. That this government could knowingly allow this to happen is almost impossible to comprehend: it would be an act of sheer evil. That those people have control of this country is a terrifying, terrifying thought. But this isn't a crazy hypothesis. The evidence points to it being the case.

All along, they said they were doing the right measures at the right time. Do they still think that?

I truly believe they are benefiting from the public being unwilling to move on from five days of being mocked, trolled, emotionally manipulated, hurt and lied to. Somehow they have managed to find supporters in this, people who say, enough is enough, let's let them get back to fighting the virus, as if that's what they were doing already.

Cheltenham: shared on Twitter; I can't say for sure this is from this year, but I don't believe social distancing measures were in place anyway. They knew this would kill people.

Partisanship, the Press, and the Police

The below was published last night on the Telegraph's website, after the BBC released a statement on Emily Maitlis' introduction to Newsnight on the 28th May. It's somewhat hard to keep up, but #EmilyMaitlis was trending on Twitter last night even before it was announced that she would not be presenting Newsnight that night. Then the news was that she had been replaced following her introduction and the statement from the BBC on 'due impartiality'. Obviously this caused an even wider furore. ~ Newsnight's anti-Cummings rant exposes the BBC's true partisan colours Madeline Grant  27 May 2020 • 5:40pm Last night’s episode began with a monologue that stood out, even in these partisan times, as brazen propaganda. From the first sentence, it displayed a level of editorialising that should astonish even viewers who agreed with every word. At times, I couldn’t believe I was watching British TV at all. The BBC has since acknowledged that the introduction “d...

Introduction to this site

Over the weekend of 23-24 May, 2020, UK politics began to explode. I found myself on Twitter, where I have an account I do not normally use, and I could not look away. Politicians put out co-ordinated messages, journalists attempted to take them to account, the general public reacted and anyone could tune in and watch as this unfolded in real time. This is not a blog about the Tory party in general, this is a blog about this Tory party, the elected (and unelected) who are hold power right now, today, and the reactions of the public, the media and members of other political parties. The issues it discusses are relevant to anyone living in the UK, particularly those who care about democracy. This blog criticises where it feels criticism is due. For example, opinions include: many cabinet ministers and at least one unelected special adviser should be in prison. But also: in a moment of national crisis where thousands are dying, the Opposition are wrong if they allow what they want t...
