Just how awful is this government? June 2020 edition

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Reading the Mail on Sunday today (we get it for our elderly neighbours), there's a piece by the repulsive Sarah Vine (aka Mrs Gove) on the equally repulsive Dom Cummings. The only bit of ant interest is where she references - in a sympathetic fashion - Cummings' scruffiness and contrasts him with 'suited snake-oil salesmen' Mr Gove always wears nice suits.

Johnson: Devolution has been 'a disaster'

Downing Street: the P.M. has 'always supported' devolution

I don't really care what Johnson thinks about devolution. But I do care when we seem to be entering a Trumpian (or Orwellian?) world of blatant, shameless lies.

Johnson: 'black is white'

Downing Street: the PM has always maintained that black is black.

Kevin Rudd always seemed good, maybe just too good. Australia needs to get on with China and try and keep them in check.

Does seem like CV has rescued Morrison a bit after his handling of the bush fires..

Slightly different point but related as it really tells much about the susceptibly of the really stupid to lies told by the likes of Trump. Apparently there are people in the USA who are (literally) dying of Covid19 who refuse to believe that it exists

Can’t believe they are thinking of reducing the foreign aid budget to cover some of the Covid expenditure.

Gotta throw a bit of red meat to his core support now and then, denying money to help foreign countries is just the ticket

Charity begins at home, no point in throwing away good money in foreign aid which never seems enough

Interesting the most generous 1st world country is Norway, least is Israel. We're currently near the top, almost world beating

Let's be brutally honest here, if this activity was happening in an African country it'd be being decried around the world as cronyism and sanctions would be put in place.

Now cronyism is really something we're good at. Even the Daily Fail got on their high horse today about the links between Tory ministers, MPs and advisers (yes, good old Dom again) have their grubby fingerprints over the award of lucrative contracts for PPE.

Some people are fooled into thinking everything will change now Cummings has left, this is still the same corrupt Vote Leave government little has changed. They think they are invincible, but rest assured there are good people out there that will try their best justice is done

Interesting how they can't find any money to feed starving British kids but can suddenly find £16bn to spend on bombing some foreign ones, isn't it?

Yes, I read about the nurse who listens to patients dying, saying they don't believe it is real.

It is a cult. I don't think people are stupid but completely deluded into thinking they are right. Both sides of the Atlantic.
