Plan B, abort the mission.

I can't believe that in a few months time it'll be two whole years since I began JournalingJono.com. It brings a proud tear to my eye to think back over the last two years and acknowledge how far I haven't come. How very little has changed, and how I still keep thinking I'm 23 years old.


Oh, it's not just me who hasn't got anywhere in the past two years. Lots of us haven't! Even those of who have accomplished amazing things over the last two years possibly feel they're in a similar place to before. Why? My favourite circus and clown acts of course! The British Government.


A collection of arrogance, stupidity, brass necks and supremacists. All sides the same and all men and women as equally pathetic as the next. Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, Green, Purple, Yellow, Blue, Moonlight Pepper Grey, whatever colour and mascot...useless.


You see, the pandemic that we face is very real. Yet, everything around it isn't. Animal Farm is the easiest comparison to life in the United Kingdom. All animals are equal yet some more equal than others. And no, it's not just BoBo The Clown whose at it, they all are! If you think it's just the Tories living it large whilst your company goes bankrupt and your mental health collapses, then you my friend are blinded by party politics. Literally.


Kier Starmer, the best thing to happen to the blonde overbearing, stuttering and spitting clown since Jeremy Corbyn, also had his share of dinner parties along the way. Do you think the other little angels in Parliament really kept to the rules they helped introduce? Or do you believe they simply haven't all been caught yet? I'm going with the latter.


It doesn't even matter when the press unleash the evidence, and social media explodes. The Metropolitan Police have bigger issues at hand and have said they don't investigate events that have already happened. The UK has the psychic version of the Police, if you were unaware. They're only interested in the crimes that haven't been committed yet, apparently.


No, no, the Met Police are only interested in racism and sexual assault. That's it! They take it very seriously and so far Officer Wayne Couzens' is top of the Met Police Fantasy League leader board for raping and murdering Sarah Everard. Let's see what talented Policeman can rival Couzens' for Policeman of the year award.


Moving away from the wonders of the British Police and back onto my most favourite topic of them all, lockdowns. The thing about lockdown is no matter how many introverted, upper middle class and comfortable 50 year olds tell you it's needed to save the world, and we must shut everything down (but keep their fav little coffee shop open for walkies with their whole neighbourhood) is that lockdowns don't really work, do they?


If lockdowns actually worked, why are we two years in and still being teased with the concept of them? "Just a few weeks to flatten the curve" they said back in March 2020. Yet here we are, not that long off March 2022 with Chris Whitty, who by the way believed this pandemic wouldn't even kill many people, telling us to not meet in a pub that has more than one half of another human and a 2 legged cat in there.


I see Wales have shut their nightclubs again and are introducing the measures they re-introduce every three weeks to help stop the spread of covid. That clearly works. You can tell it works because every three weeks Wales either has to lock completely down or just 80% of the way there. Scotland are in a similar boat. Every other week Nicola Sturgeon jumps onto their TV screens and tells them they're not allowed to leave the house again. These measures definitely work though, don't they?


My personal favourite rule the Welsh have come back out with for their 204th lockdown, is the one way rule. Essentially, you must enter a restaurant at one point, and walk around a one way path instead of taking any other routes. Brilliant! Here we were thinking that Covid, an airborne virus that will infect you if you've had no vaccinations or if you've had 20 of them, inside or outside, mask or no mask, would not respect the one way system. However, the Welsh in their infinite wisdom of how to combat against Covid so they only have to lockdown every time the sun comes up, have worked out that the one way system is actually Covid's kryptonite!


Boris Johnson has been adamant he will not return England to a lockdown state. I'm not so sure. I think he hasn't done so because Rishi Sunak, everyones favourite number crunching careerist, is somewhere galavanting in California. How can Mr Johnson lock us down before his trusty Chancellor gets off his all expenses paid beach holiday and returns home to tell us just how much tax we will need to pay the Government for protecting us from Covid and killing off our businesses and livelihoods.


The press would love England to be in total lockdown again. It doesn't effect them, like it doesn't effect politicians or celebrities. They can moan, moan, moan to get a lockdown, and when it arrives they can moan about how we have one! They can win all audiences! What special people, I'm so proud we get to call them our Press and Journo's.


So, here we are. An inept political state. A million or so living in fear the big bad cold may just get them, and the rest of us pining for normality. I long for a world where I don't ever need to follow PoliticsForAll on Twitter to see if new measures are coming in. A world where I forget Chris Whitty exists and one where we have an opposition to the Conservatives.


Is asking for politicians to return to politics to replace supremacists, clowns, jumped up student activists and careerists so much to ask for?
