I’ve just read that the PM’s father, Stanley Johnson, has headed to his holiday home in Devon.

That says two things to me:

1) He’s an utter arsehole who thinks the rules don’t apply to him.

2) His son Boris is not as ill as we’d been led to believe (unless he doesn’t care less about him?).

I don’t know about anyone else. But I couldn’t wait to get on the beers today. I started at 16:30. Not good.

My sister, who lives on the coast near the Dorset/Hants border, reports a jet-ski crash between boy racers a couple of days ago. Not only did they have to be rescued, but the lifeboat was out of action for some time while it was deep cleaned.

And radio 4 this evening had an interview with a PC who had stopped a car loaded with canoes whose occupants had driven some 80 miles to get there (and were sent packing).

More idiots!

In other words: go enjoy your Easter weekend in Rock and Croyde. You have our blessing, whilst we direct the police to target the oiks sunbathing in parks.

Sorry, but that is just completely predictable and means absolutely nothing. It is a matter of record that they covered up Covid-19 for at least a month and then obfuscated about the seriousness: the silencing of the first doctor to flag the outbreak; the censoring of any social media posts raising concerns; the claim that person-to-person transmission wasn't occurring.

It is just another aspect of China's propaganda effort. Please don't let people be gullible enough to fall for this rubbish.

The longer China stays quiet and does not accept they are responsible for all this and show the world they care, even a little bit, the world will unite and make China a leper colony. They won't be welcome anywhere.
