Lockdown Heroes Hold the Key to Election Success

by Joanna Gray
1 June 2024 1:00 PM

It’s an alarming realisation that one is wiser than Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer, and Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister. But there it is. I, an ordinary woman trying to raise a family and working part-time to support children who find school difficult, appear to be wiser than Rishi and Whitty. I expect you are too. How can this be? Both chaps are well educated and at the top of their profession. Both foolishly failed to realise that lockdown and furlough would destroy the public, political and economic health of this country, whereas I didn’t. I’m sure the flurry of furious emails I wrote to my MP, Steve Brine, on the issue contributed to his standing down at this election. 

I feel like one of those Marvel characters who suddenly discovers they have secret powers. It’s a terrifying responsibility. What if I’m right about other things too?

“No, my love,” admonishes my husband with his head in his hands, “You have not got superpowers.” 

I whisper to myself, nevertheless: I am wiser than the Prime Minister. So, here goes. Five ideas for Right-leaning election advisers:

1. Get rid of all Net Zero pledges – Historically countries only succeed if they have cheap and abundant sources of energy.

2. Always do what Peter Hitchens advises – Work tirelessly against Labour. Never forget they wanted longer, harder lockdowns. Relentlessly reveal Starmer’s blood-red socialism. Just because things are terrible, does not mean they can’t get worse.

3. Take down Wes Streeting – He may offer sensible sounding ways of improving the NHS, but he was also Head of Education at Stonewall. Someone at CCHQ or GB News or Order-Order needs to investigate exactly what he got up to there.

4. Show utter disdain for any talk of ‘The Muslim Vote’ – To classify people according to their creed or colour is antithetical to all decent people. It is patronising. We don’t assume Baptists or Methodists or Hindus or Sikhs, or those dreary folk from the Humanist Society, would dream of voting en masse. Muslims are individuals too, and to treat them as a bloc vote is disgusting.

5. Be on the side of truth – Ask Lib Dem prospective candidates repeatedly whether they agree with their dear leader, Ed Davey, that ladies can have penises.

Goodness me – what if that is all it would take to win an election? Where next will these powers take me?!

The oddest thing about Welby is his mixture of nihilism and atheism.

So Catholic Peter Harris wants to replace Welby with a Catholic woman Helen Ann-Hartley, one of many Catholics subverting the Protestant Church of England, to drag everyone back into worshipping the Impostor Goddess of the Fake Virgin Birth and her Stolen Child, instead of Almighty God.

We know from the New Testament what St. Paul’s view of women preachers was, but modern politics easily sweeps that aside.

“Bishop” Helen Ann-Hartley and her fellow Bishop Martyn Snow were criticised by Reverend Dr. Thomas Woolford for promoting the church blessing of Sodomite Marriage, sodomy being the reason God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, for which the practice of sodomy was named. “Sodomy” is a very useful English word for unnatural sexual relations between males with males, females with females, and humans with animals. No need for all the confusing and ridiculous labels like LBGTQ-whatever, when the one English word “Sodomy” suffices for all.

Well I’ve no time for the organised church of any and all persuasion.

They’re nothing but parasites, sucking at the teat of the poor, living in palaces decorated with the greatest works of art and preaching poverty.

I do think the name ‘Justin Isobel End’ does have a certain refined ring to it.🔔😶

Let’s hope that whoever becomes his successor understand the following: Past injustices can’t be remedied by committing present-day injustices. The duty of the church is to its congregations and to the cultural heritage which is part of itself. It’s not to people who nowadays demand money for something which never even affected, let alone harmed them. Sins of dead people and what – if anything – is to be done about them belong to realm of God and not man. So, take care of your present-day duties, that is, don’t be so injust to punish, if only indirectly, church members of today for supposed sins of people who died long before their birth. Let God deal with what is rightfully his own and tell the reparation spongers to go pester someone else for spare millions.

Basically, yet another entitled, out of touch, member of the establishment, blinded by his own vanity but still considers himself to be some form of egalitarian expert.

As a practicing Christian. For some time I’ve thought of Welby as Satan’s acolyte.

I wonder why so many old Etonians – that most Establishment of Establishment educational institutions in the UK – seem to be implementing a mission to destroy the public’s respect for ALL our ancient governmental Institutions?

When you look at the list of those who are responsible for the clusterfcuk the UK has become, it is noticeable how many went to that school.

A loathsome character. He probably feels misunderstood and unfairly treated. Let him crawl under a rock.

Welby is just the current symbol behind the fact that religions and their institutions are the problem. Whoever replaces him, more abuses will occur and we’ll be reading about them in the future & how those in charge chose to protect the organisation’s survival and reputation over the safety and well being of the public.
