The home testing and PCR industrial apparatus is a sign they aren’t even pretending “normal” is on the agenda.
Its still following the “Everything covid, only covid” and no acceptable that we just need to get on with life.
You’ll always be 1 test and trace visit away from having enforced 2 weeks off work and so on.

Lockdown is more sinister – it wasn’t done because nobody thought they’d get away with it.
Now they’ve done it and fine tuned the psychological tools to keep it applied indefinitely it’ll now be top of their list to “solve” anything, not bottom.
The first lockdown was hard. The rest are easy.

After several texts and a letter from Ipsos Mori – I emailed them to explain I had no wish to participate in a test not fit for purpose. Also mentioned they did not inform of the Cycle Threshold – if high then also negating the validity of the test. So not Informed Consent.

They acknowledged by email without comment ….. !

He’s an opportunist who has no principles to guide his moral compass. To me he’s always been deeply inadequate; I don’t know what people saw in him.

I’d like people to stop with the lazy “remainers” label though. I voted remain for none of the reasons anyone ascribes to ‘our sort’. Lazy categorisation of individuals intended to disparage and dismiss their viewpoint has been a tactic of both sides for a long time now, but especially over the last year: “remoaners” (boo!) vs “brexiteers” (yay!), “covidiots”, “conspiracy theorists”, “covid deniers”, “anti-vax”. Dismiss the individual, put them in a box and safely ignore their views.

“Save lockdowning” is the only credible answer, combined with the fact of Boris being, apparently willingly like Patty Hearst, held hostage by that strange and frightening gang of “experts”. Boris is in effect their glove puppet.

Please, not another Boris apologist trying desperately to extricate the PM from a mess of his own making? Let us be clear, Johnson has been 100% complicit in every policy decision, every expert appointment, every ministerial decree, every wasted billion of taxpayer’s money on crony benefits. He is not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, but a more rarefied form of Bullingdon Club arrogance in which money and power drive his every move. Lord Acton’s dictum could have been written on Johnson’s birth certificate.
This is no blundering buffoon PM in thrall to the experts, but a psychotically greedy individual driven by Acton’s ‘absolute power’ lust, with the resulting absolute corruption. He realises his limitations, and has long perfected the helpless wide eyed and innocent look. Whether it is Garden Bridges or illegal Water Cannon when Mayor, let alone CCHQ picking up the tab for his legal fees in the Arcuri scandal (and it IS a scandal) the wasting of other people’s money (especially taxpayers’) hardly registers with him. His current princess-in-tow follows the same path with her home decorating, as someone else will always pay the bill, and (again like her mentor) is endlessly plotting her optimum political path regardless of those that have to be sacrificed.
Yet up to this point not one politician or journalist has got close to laying a glove on Johnson, or dared to seriously call him out despite a trail of damage stretching back years. And with the country in economic ruins, hundreds (thousands?) dead from the combination of an experimental vaxx and the human consequences of lockdown (including missed NHS treatments and suicide) Toby (the great defender) has the gall to feature a simpering, naive, cringeworthy article like this that once again tries to paint Johnson as more sinned against than sinning.
Sorry, it just won’t do this time!

A beautifully written piece, Mr Finlayson. I think he can be both things though: an arrogant liar and under Ferguson’s spell. Boris has been, at least since Oxford, ruthlessly self-promoting, and has used charm and lies from a very early stage to get ahead and enjoy his pleasures. He had beauty – once – charm, immense verbal gifts, a brilliant education; perhaps others always seemed to him little people by comparison.
There was a time when his worst qualities were restrained by a group of sane advisors, but Covid has put Toad Hall into his single hands, and Ratty and Badger are ignored again.
Boris thinks it is in his interests to continue lying to the electorate: the polls and groups tell him so. Whether he fully understands the magnitude of what he is doing is uncertain – but certainly he doesn’t care. What he doesn’t see is that the long term consequences of his current actions will one day destroy him.
But also Boris believes he nearly died of Covid. I think that time helpless in hospital was the first time Boris realised he would die one day. The expertise of the NHS saved him, he believes. (Had he rested instead of arrogantly ignoring the illness, and received one of the early treatments, would this have been avoided?) His gratitude leads to the convenient belief that his own political interests and those of the electorate are one. It is good for us to be lied to. It is good for him to have absolute control.

I doubt he came anywhere near close to dying – even that he was actually in hospital. It’s just as likely he was hidden away nursing a hangover, just like he hid during the severe flooding.
Don’t forget that last winter, dePiffle and key mockdown orchestrators announced further draconian measures, then promptly went into quarantine because they’d “been near someone who tested positive”.
The transparency is breathtakingly arrogant yet, somehow, the sheeple keep falling for it.

This man is not fit to lead this nation. He can’t even keep himself under control. He needs to be removed, along with his sidekick Hancock, and his minders Whitty, Vallance and Ferguson.

He has caused more trouble and strife to this nation than any other event or conflict in history (in just 12 months).

Not only should he be removed, he should be charged with treason and malfeasance.

Apart from a dearth of decent candidates, the very few who might have the qualities to lead this country out of this disaster are undoubtedly clever enough to realise that such a role is nothing more than a poison chalice. The Powell “all political lives…..end in failure” saw is all the more relevant, when whoever does get landed with this may have to account, not just for an economy and all other aspects of our society (education, health etc.) irretrievably screwed for ever, but the possible aftermath of stuffing the populace full of untested “vaccines”. I suspect that shadow will hang over the country, and the world, for a long time to come.

Meanwhile, the useless, amoral, evil buffoon primps his equally-disastrous “environmental” credentials; an attention-deflector, for which he clearly has as little interest or understanding as anything else. He is, as with Covid, weak, easily-led and interested only in how a posture may benefit him and his petticoat influences.

Excellent piece but nothing new to most of us. The idea of our current PM as a Patty Hearst figure is one that has been apparent for a while and only the fool that he is would keep on doing the bidding of mostly left leaning or far left “scientists”. The question is how to stop him and only the 1922 can do that. Will they before it really is too late?

Surely any competent Tory MP can see its time to kick Boris out. His ability as a leader, decision maker or intelligent person with the ability to think for himself has gone if he ever had it. He once had Cummings and his team pulling his strings, but now they have gone its anyone he comes into contact with mostly left wing control freaks or his girl-friend who without any idea of the consequences is forcing him into an uneconomic green agenda. If he carries on as leader of the Tories they will be finished and be historically our worst government ever.

“If he carries on as leader of the Tories they will be finished.” Wishful thinking. They are well ahead in the polls. Partly because the opposition is so bad, but ahead they are.

This is far too easy on Johnson. It’s not the fake ‘experts’ – they have no executive power. It’s his government, and if his increasing absurdities are genuine utterances, then he needs to be removed to a padded cell.
