We’re Honestly So Fucking Sorry
With the grim inevitability of night following day, the UK yesterday officially passed the milestone of 100,000 Covid-19 related deaths. The journey from a mere 50,000 had taken just two and a half months. To mark this occasion, alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson did something totally out of character: he said sorry.
Bozo rambled away: “It's hard to compute the sorrow in that grim statistic...for so many relatives, a lost chance to say goodbye … As Prime Minister I take full responsibility for everything the Government has done... we did everything we could”. Would he care to tell the world what that meant? “You'd exhaust the thesaurus of misery”.
On he shambled. “I just want to repeat what I said ... We did everything that we could to minimise suffering and loss of life in this country ... I'm deeply sorry for every life lost. What I can say is that the Government will continue to do everything we can to minimise life lost”. Just how much more of that success can we take before our resolve snaps?
Worse than Bozo’s weasel words has been the sycophantic response not only of our free and fearless press, but also the BBC, who really should know better, and serve its audience better. We expect the Daily Mail to tell us of “Boris’ Heartfelt Message”. We expect the Murdoch Sun to proclaim in vomit-inducing tones “We Will Remember Them”.
But the Beeb trying to deflect and excuse is something else. “How did we come to be one of the countries with the worst death tolls? There is no quick answer to that question … Some will point a finger at the government … Others will spotlight deeper rooted problems with British society - its poor state of public health, with high levels of obesity, for example”.
Do go on. “Some of the UK's great strengths - its position as a vibrant hub for international air travel, for example; its ethnically diverse and densely packed urban populations - exposed its vulnerability to a virus that spreads effortlessly in the close air between people”. What about all those tens of thousands of avoidable deaths? “This, of course, is said with the benefit of hindsight”. No. Just no. This is not good enough.
Nick Pettigrew did not take long to deliver a dose of reality. “The UK is ranked 50th-highest in the world for median age. We're ranked 36th in the world for obesity. We have one airport in the top 40 busiest airports in the world (China has 7, for example). None of these excuses work. It took me five mins to look this up. Do your job, BBC”.
Jonathan Lis was also unconvinced. “‘Everything he could.’ Just think about that. The man who boasted about shaking Covid patients’ hands, skipped the early meetings, and refused to follow immediate advice to lock down *three* times. He did everything he could, alright”. Also, Bozo undermined public confidence by refusing to sack The Polecat.
Mic Wright pointed out the joint failings of both Government and media. “If Boris Johnson was truly ‘deeply, sorry for every, every, every life lost,’ then he would resign .And so would Hancock. And Williamson. And the editors of The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, and The Daily Mail … for starters … Any fucker who tells you that the newspapers and TV news have generally held power to account during this pandemic should be made to dig graves”.
They’re honestly so fucking sorry. And if you believe that, you’ll believe anything.

In other words, 'I take full responsibility, but not the blame.'
Problem is, the Bozo Gang HAVE done their "best". Which tells you all you need to know about their moral, economic and social codas. Sheer, hypocritical, far right tory evil.
Their media - ALL of it, particularly the front men and women "anchors", no exceptions - are even worse rotten-to-the-core corrupt lying cunts, properly despised by anybody with a trace of human decency and feeling.
And so much for those who think cringeworthy "quiescent debate" is the answer. It isn't. Let those who peddle that line of cowardice tell that to the 100,000 families in terrible agony.
The first question on the lips of every hack in response to that should be "what does 'taking responsibility' look like?" But then they wouldn't be hacks, would they?
Bozza has done everything he can to fill the boots and pockets of cronies, sycophants & lickspittles.
It would take a half decent journalist half hour of basic research from a book called 'The Spirit Level' to understand why we got f****** so hard by the virus, same circumstances as the US- in a nutshell, deep rooted inequalities across UK society.
Every government since 1979, has had endless public health reports warning of these disastrous inequalities, sadly the politicans in power turned a deaf ear ...
Will the change come, will there be a change of heart, willingness to repent, willingness to learn from 40 years of toxic divise social and economic policies?
Will the likes of Ms Kuenssberg, Mr Peston & Rigby do some real journalism? Seems only Piers Morgan is prepared to hold ministers to account without fear or favour...He might be a year, but at least he makes these sociopaths squirm or run for cover.
Labour under Starmer have been f******** invisible, my cat 🐈 offers more oppostion than Sir Quiff of the Establishment & his Stalinst chums.
Do Britain and the world a favour Johnson.
Just fuck off and take your spiv party, supporters, allies (which includes the Starmer Quiff Gang), apologists and culpable media hacks with you.
You and the rest of them just leave us alone to deep-clean Britain of your greed, corruption, criminal negligence and tiny-minded ignorance. You, your predecessors and your "system" have had a clear run for 40 years and you have brought us to what amounts to genocide.
"Apologies" aren't enough. Just fuck off and vanish into history.
Okay, what would you have, what where the answers? You may use your hindsight like Sir Keith
Most brilliant comment it deserves posting a second time

That's not the point.
The reality is the Bozo Gang is running the country and their sheer incompetence has led to over 100,000 dead.
Hindsight hypothetics have fuck all to do with it. Reality is what matters.
I go out of my way to avoid paying attention to these horrible cunts (and that's a word I never use), so this is the first I've heard of this. And man, am I fucking angry. The shit, transparent acting of that evil bastard looking down like he actually cares is the mother of all fucking insults. What's more infuriating, though, is that the gullible useful idiots aka the British public will probably be all over this and nothing will be done. WE ARE FUCKED!
And where has Keith Stalin been all this time?
Well apart from agreeing with everything that Alexander has demanded and calling for schools to re-open - "no ifs, no buts" - and voting with, or abstaining from, every thing the covernment has put forward...
Keith Stalin is every bit as culpable as Alexander Boris de-twatspaffle Johnson.
Cue Britain's smartest people saying, "Yes, but if Labour had been in power the death toll would have been double"? Or perhaps, "If Corbyn had been PM we'd all be dead". (An actual sentiment expressed on Twitter about 6 months ago).
Theresa May once boasted that she would kill that number of people using nuclear weapons.
And that is why we must support the new Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Bojo's legacy: the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
M.E.G.A(A.B.T.U.I.T.P) Make England Great Again (and break up the UK in the process.
That's SIR Keith Stalin to you !
Hindsight? HINDSIGHT?
Hundreds of people were warning the government from the very beginning. The government knew what would happen as they were told even a month into the crisis.
Is that really all the fuck you've got 18:20?
