This Terrible Government

 I have become more and more sickened by the combination of mendacity, lack of empathy and understanding, and sheer ineptitude demonstrated by this Government. Just look at three headlines from today's news:


"Toughest COVID rules extended in south of England" - all a result of a lack of planning, snail-paced decision-making, and adherence for far too long to ideology when just a little scientific understanding was required.


"Brexit: Trade talks in 'a serious situation' says Boris Johnson" - quite apart from the stupidity of (a) calling the referendum in the first place and (b) lying all the way to obtaining a leave vote; the "oven-ready" deal was and is not a reality because Johnson cannot have his cake and eat it; he has failed to understand the EU position; and he is driving the UK to become, once again, the poor man of Europe.


"Dangerous cladding: Fire patrols at our flats cost us £500,000" - a climate of "get rich quick and bend the rules as much as possible" which is part of the ethos of the miserable bunch in power is now being exacerbated by quibbling over who will put things right, and when; while leaving people's lives at risk.


That's just three headlines in one day. Look back at the news over the past five years and try not to blink. Oh, and hold your nose because the stench that arises is overwhelming.
