I know nothing about UK politics but would it be thematically appropriate to refer to the guy as Boris Goneson

I had a panic attack and was consulted by Boris Johnson and those British palace guards.

Tags on my Boris Johnson post included "I've had enough of this guy" and "please oh please let it finally be consequence time." Yeah.

My dad died from pancreatic cancer during one of the lockdowns. He was alone when he went into hospital to get the diagnosis and limited treatment to make him more comfortable. He said goodbye to his friends over Zoom. There were more people at Friday night Downing Street drinkypoos than there were at his cremation, and we waited a year until it was safer to give him a proper memorial.

I want Boris Johnson composted.

Can't believe I hate Liz more than Boris

Now I've heard about her policies. This one in particular is making me furious:

Is it terrible that Boris only introduced anti obesity legislation (sugar tax, calorie counts on menus, no sweets at the tills, no multi buy deals on junk food)(possibly some of those predate his covid actually but whatever) because he was fat and he personally had a worse time with covid because of it? Tories only realising something is bad when it finally impacts them personally is classic and bad, but ultimately the reason the legislation was brought in isn't important.

She wants to scrap it all because it "cuts red tape for business". She's sending us towards hyper capitalist American style legislation that makes life easy for prescious businesses at the expense of actual real life people, because fuck them, they don't generate wealth on the same scale... Except they do, because wealth generated by businesses is contingent on a healthy workforce, as opponents of this move have pointed out.

Therese Coffree (sp?) is a cigar smoking, fat, boozing, sodding awful excuse for a health secretary, and she's only got the position (and deputy PM to boot) because she's Liz' fucking mate. I swear to god I can hardly believe it.

This proposal in particular is making me angry because I'm staunchly anti obesity and I think any legislation to tackle the obesity crisis is obviously very badly needed. But moreover I'm scared of the way this country is going to head under Truss given her priorities. Hopefully she crashes and burns and labour will get in next election, though that last part seems vanishingly unlikely.

NHK: "Former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo airlifted to hospital after being shot" (clips of Abe lying on the ground with blood on his chest)

BBC: "Number 10 deserted after over 50 MPs resign" (cameraman zooms in on Larry the Cat)

“This is our country’s saddest day” says fucking Boris Johnson. It’s not what about the thousands of people you let die daily during a pandemic.

The fact that members of Boris Johnson's cabinet are still getting honours after the appalling mishandling of the Covid makes me so fucking angry, I cannot articulate it well enough but the blood of hundred of thousands including the blood of my own father who did not need to die as young as he was will be forever on their hands and it is a stain that they will never wash away.

on a bike?!!

I'm assuming this is due to my earlier assertion that I was nearly run over by our former esteemed prime minister, and the answer to your question is no! it was one of those huge, extensively modded range rovers with the enormous grills on the front that are only ever driven in chelsea for the express purpose of running over working class people

for context's sake, I went to the same college at university as boris johnson did, and they regularly hold on-campus reunion dinners. at the end of one particular academic year the rumour was going round that the then-mayor of london would be coming back for one of these reunions, though at the time we didn't think much of it. and then, midway through the day, a couple of friends and I were walking through campus only to have to jump off the path quite speedily thanks to the enormous range rover absolutely bombing down towards us (through what was a relatively small lawned area, I might add) with a familiar mop of deliberately dishevelled hair behind the wheel...

(apparently he was allowed special permission to park his substitute for masculinity on the college grounds, presumably on the basis that a humble public servant such as himself couldn't possibly afford the street parking fees. wazzock.)

Meanderings about UK politics and “The Thick of It”

I think about the most succinctly depressing thing I can say about UK politics at the moment is that there are aspects of The Thick of It that now come across as overly optimistic and idealistic.

I mean yes, the characters all terrible people, pretty much (some much worse than others, but all fairly awful). But compared to Johnson and Patel and their  ilk? Nowhere close, in either the awfulness of their policies or the grossness of their lack of giving a shit about anyone other than themselves. Eurgh.

And at the risk of being influenced by my Roger Allam crush: the very existence of a Tory cabinet minister who is pro-immigration, presumably pro-Europe, has at least a couple of principles and a tiny bit of decency buried in a pocket  somewhere, and is not in absolutely every respect a vile and horrifying person... I remember when that could happen, obviously, but not a chance now. Peter Mannion would at present be at most a grumpy backbencher, if not actually crossing the floor or (far more likely) having left politics in disgust around Brexit time and writing grumpy columns in various papers instead. I don’t *like* Mannion (I mean, I adore him as a character, but he clearly should have zero power whatsoever and I’d find him enormously frustrating personally as well), but... well.

Both Ianucci and Allam have noted how impossible it would be to revive The Thick of It in the current circumstances. Gods that’s damning.

Well. Things changed in this direction. They can change in a better direction in future, and at least the local elections were promising...
