Yet another week when all of the ironies died, again.

At Prime Ministers Questions today in Parliament BoJo said 'We expect everybody in this country to obey the law' when talking about the new Covid lockdown measures being imposed in England. This in the same week Brandon Lewis, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland said to the House "Yes, this does break international law in a very specific and limited way" when talking about these far right wankers in charge of us ripping up the EU Withdrawal Bill, and breaching an international treaty in the process.

They are shocking. Law and order for the little people, not when you are an english nationalist at the top of the greasy pole - the you can do what the hell you want and break any law you want, irrespective of the damage it does to the rest of us.

Is on at 4 a.m. Wednesday live here, they repeat it Sunday nights at 6pm, that's when I usually watch it. Sorry to hear you have to lock down again, but I know from your extenuating circumstances you've presumably been more isolated than most after the first lockdown. You know my heart goes out to you. My country lives in two different worlds, the cynic in me thinks this might be helpful to thin the herd on the conservative side except that they take too many Innocents with them. I'm sure investigative reporting will tell us who is going to profit off brexit, it's certainly not going to be the majority of your people, especially now. Our leader has been lawless and we seem to be at a loss to do anything about it, now that yours is, I don't know if your government has procedures to deal with it
