You must wonder if it is possible for a country to go a bit gaga. Western politicians regard war with Russia as inevitable with; British and NATO troops gathering for war; ever-increasing numbers of families are surviving in the UK on food banks; energy prices are set to rise to a level which will give real meaning to ‘eat or heat.’

People are toppling ‘slaver’ statues but continue to wear ‘fashion’ clothes often made by child slave labour. Thousands of Romanian girls trafficked to the UK as sex slaves, but not a peep from the media; a continuing pandemic has killed over 150,000 people; the streets are not safe for women and girls, elderly persons’ homes are little more than warehouses to die in and thousands of tons of waste is dumped in the countryside weekly.

What has obsessed our national and local media and politicians for the past month? A bunch of hooray Henries and Henrietta’s, led by a bloated old Eton schoolchild eating sausage rolls and playing trivia in a garden a couple of years ago. The school playground has decided to call it ‘garden-gate.’

I am no fan of Johnson, the man is an idiot, however, the alternative put up by Labour was a bigger idiot. Had they not had the ‘party’ would it have prevented one life being from lost to Covid? The Met police are now to investigate the ‘party.’ Have they really got nothing better to do when members of their own force have committed the murder and rape of women? We have noted Johnson’s behaviour and we will be asked to vote in due course, meantime, grow up, get a life, open your eyes.
