Both of these are about the virus, and neither is being reported here on these shores.
Item the first: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is done - stick a fork in him:
Nigel Farage has slammed Boris Johnson over the Prime Minister's attempts to defend a series of parties in Downing Street while the rest of the UK was under Coronavirus lockdown. The former Brexit Party leader has suggested Mr Johnson would have been best owning up to the parties.
...
"When you are clearly lying to the nation that I'm afraid is what's done for him," he added.
"I can't tell you whether he's going to last a week, a month or four months.
"But I can tell you, Boris is toast."
Farage is the man most responsible for BREXIT, and is former head of the BREXIT political party in the UK. Rumors have it that Johnson may get dumped by the UK Tory Party as early as Friday, but we will have to see. Whether that happens or not, this story represents the rage of the common voter against an arrogant, out of touch elite that is smothering them with COVID restrictions that they exempt themselves from.
[UPDATE 26 January 2022 15:44] Canuck Glen Filthie says the truck convoy is 70 km long.
Item the Second: Canadian truckers aim to shut down Parliament on Friday:
The number of truckers involved is huge. As in “that’s gonna leave a mark” huge. Now just figure that to the extent a Truck and Trucker are in this event, they are not delivering the goods on time to somewhere else. This will be felt fairly fast. There is one guy in one video who says he’s not vaccinated, but is delivering “medical supplies”, and appreciates the irony of it ;-) So some of the trucks may just be “slow rolling” their delivery elsewhere along the route.
Just how much support are Canadian citizens giving them? The truckers set up a Gofundme campaign to raise money for fuel (they're driving from the Pacific coast to Ottawa). Right now the campaign has raised $5M (CAD). That's a lot of gas. And just what do those normal Canadian citizens feel about the Canadian.Gov?
“Everyone is Essential”. “It’s time for the Lions to start eating those Hyenas”.
Friday is shaping up to be an interesting day, despite the complete lack of coverage here in the US. The "elites" are trapped in a Twitter bubble, spending their time only talking to themselves - while the 80% of the country that counts is moving on without them. Smartest kids in the class, right there.
Those truckers should block the highways. But they should get one or two people at the end to wear some Antifa clothes so the cops won't roust them.
ReplyDeleteI’ve heard that the Gofundme got locked down… but can’t confirm it. It does strike me as something they would do though…
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the old rules are for thee and not for me...
ReplyDeleteOh… and Turdo La Doo just got chinkypox again. He’ll be working from home, so he probably won’t have to deal with those pesky truckers…
ReplyDeleteI have heard stories about Boris Johnson's political problems from those parties on NPR, for what that's worth. I generally leave the car radio on the local station to be aware of the latest narrative.
ReplyDeleteOff topic: The Hidden Brain program is interesting in that it frequently talks about how people's attitudes and decision making processes are manipulated. Hiddenbrain.org is where the podcast can be found - "Choose Carefully" is about manipulating decisions. Helps explain some of what passes for thought among the followers of the narrative.
Annnd .... the sh*tty of Ottawa is planning to sue to take the money GoF*ckMe has frozen to "compensate the city for the costs" of the protest.
ReplyDeleteAnd regardless of the final outcome, Trudeau will blame the protest for the supply chain disruptions that his policies have caused.
