Bozo Bad Behaviour - Blame The Polecat

And so it came to pass that the Covid Inquiry heard evidence from witnesses who had been working within 10 Downing Street, around and for disgraced former alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Here a problem entered: more than one of those witnesses has passed severely adverse comment on Bozo’s effectiveness as a leader, or the lack of it.


This, in turn, has tested the mettle of our free and fearless press, much of which depicted Bozo as a great leader without peer, the helmsman the country was fortunate to have on hand in its hour of need. How would they spin the reality, that Johnson was not merely inept, but appallingly callous and uncaring, unable to grasp reality, and indeed, the basics of statistics?

Worse, what would the Murdoch Sun do to cover its tracks after its toe-curling grovelfest front page, telling readers, after Bozo had himself got The Rona, “Nation United On Stricken PM … He stayed at work for you … now pray at home for him”? In this case, the solution was to keep the latest revelations off the front page completely. Robbie Williams was deemed more important.

Yet worse, though, was what the PM who had been voted into office with one group - the over-65s - giving him significant support, thought of older voters. And what he thought was that they should Get The Rona And Die. I kid you not: he also believed the NHS was not overwhelmed. This from the Guardian.


Jeeez. I must say I have been slightly rocked by some of the data on covid fatalities. The median age is 82-81 for men 85 for women. That is above life expectancy. So get COVID and live longer. Hardly anyone under 60 goes into hospital (4 per cent) and of those virtually all survive. And I no longer buy all this nhs overwhelmed stuff. Folks I think we may need to recalibrate. There are max 3m in this country aged over 80”. Vote Bozo, die in agony and alone.

More illuminating still are the thoughts of former chief Downing Street polecat Dominic Cummings, who called the Cabinet Office “terrifyingly shit”, telling his colleague Lee Cain “Get in here he’s melting down. Rishi saying bond markets may not fund our debt etc. He’s back to Jaws mode wank … I’ve literally said same thing ten fucking times and he still won’t absorb it. I’m exhausted just talking to him and stopping the trolley”. There was more.

We must announce TODAY - not next week ‘if feel ill with cold/flu stay home’ … We must force the face today, we are looking at 100-500 thousand deaths between optimistic / pessimistic scenarios. 1918 [flu pandemic] was 250k for comparison” was another exhortation from the Polecat to Bozo.


Yes, in addition to the partying while the rest of us couldn’t be there when elderly relatives passed away, and the billions spaffed up the wall, to use Bozo’s happy phrase, we had a Prime Minister was was terrifyingly inept, a cabinet equally so, and those in Downing Street reduced to a stream of exasperated profanities which Derek and Clive would have recognised.

But for the increasingly desperate and downmarket Telegraph, Bozo’s spiritual home, and the Mail titles, for whom he is dashing off a supposedly regular column, none of this could be laid before the readers, many of whom will be over 65, and would not react kindly to the PM they were told was their hero actually writing them off as a form of collateral damage.


So it was that the Mail thundered “NOW CUMMINGS FEELS THE HEAT … Covid Inquiry told of vile slur against his colleagues … Four-letter attack on top female mandarin … His ‘demented’ war on Carrie left Boris in a fury … He ‘lied to PM’ over lockdown trip to Barnard Castle”. That’s the paper whose editor-in-chief is the legendarily foul mouthed bully Paul Dacre.

The Tel concurred, sniffing “Cummings fed ‘toxic, misogynist culture in No10’ … Covid Inquiry counsel accuse former aide over his expletive-laden WhatsApps”. Look over there! The Polecat Done It! No word of their man’s “‘unbelievably bullish, we're great at everything’ attitude at the start of the pandemic, which involved ‘laughing at the Italians’ for locking down”.

The reality: they backed him. They knew he wasn’t up to the job. They covered for him. Now the shit is hitting the fan, do not forget their complicity.

tory nastzi "eugenics" and mass murder. It was only a matter of time before something like this was inflicted.

If you want to know how much matters can worsen take a look at the pumpkin face of Braverman. The woman radiates hatred and malevolence from her embittered core. She is the future and it doesn't work.

Then take a look across the aisle.... you'll see the same kind of face in the "Labour" Quislings.

None of those people or their media propaganda clerks are in the least interested in alleviating the national problems they caused in the first place. Their only interest is in personal profit.

Only fools think this country will improve under this gang of extreme right wing charlatans and thieves and their institutionalised corruption.

Let them continue this way and there can be no complaints when Britain disappears up its own arse.

I can understand why the Mail (currently promoting his piss poor columns so unlikely to say 'Johnson's an incompetent, heartless oaf and total bastard; read his Mail column today') and the Telegraph (ex and possibly future employer and flattered by Cummings's evidence about the high regard he has for their 'opinion') should produce such Ministry of Truth front pages; and Cummings's long-established status as an obnoxious, lying, wingnut lockdown-buster makes him an easy scapegoat as long as your readers are dim enough to rely on you for their education on these matters.

But surely the readership of the Express is comprised of precisely the demographic which Johnson was lining up to sacrifice themselves for the nation by selflessly fucking off and dying 'as they were going to die anyway'.

Even the most behighted, flag-bothering old bigots are unlikely to feel too sanguine about finding out that they were going to lay down their lives in the interests of the herd-immunity of hordes of selfie-taking, filler-faced, Labour-voting, university-educated carnophobic transitioners from Generations X to Z. Aren't they?

Or does the Express think their readers will forgive the fat oaf everything because, after all, he did 'Get Brexit Done'?

This is the true caring face of neoliberalism across both sides of the house

Basic fees for Eton are £49,998 per annum. Fifty grand. A quarter of a million in total. Boris Johnson thought that you could kill Covid-19 by blowing a hairdryer up your nose. You are no more shocked at that than I am, and the same goes for the confirmation that on no day did Downing Street adhere to the Covid-19 regulations.

On 3rd March 2020, in what was then Johnson's fanzine, since it had gone downhill since my day, Jeremy Warner wrote that, "Not to put too fine a point on it, from an entirely disinterested economic perspective, the Covid-19 might even prove mildly beneficial in the long term by disproportionately culling elderly dependents."

It is no wonder that Matt Hancock wants immunity from prosecution. He and Johnson should be arrested tonight.

Whatever one's opinion of Cummings, when he described Bloody Stupid Johnson's cabinet as “useless fuckpigs”, “morons” and “cunts” he was right on the money.

Timid and mealy-mouthed reticence if you ask me, Mr L. Mrs Bertie's rare but colourful judgements on the bastards are infinitely pithier.
