It is almost like voting in bluster, bullshit and bollocks leads to awful health outcomes...

Watching America from the UK, as the virus took hold, and you had a bollocks right wing faux up rising against 'tyranny' and a health service that is not accessible for many - the refrain has been on this side of the pond, as we hunker down, well at least we are not America, we, after all have the NHS and less nuttery. And we are certainly not America, based on the data today, we are more fucked in the number of deaths per capita by a mile. Yes ladies and gentlemen, if you can believe it, the utter horror of Trumps incompetence, is nothing in comparison to the Johnson Cummings combo of ineptitude. A dangerously hubristic duo whose arrogance has led to so many unnecessary deaths.

America: 296.74 deaths per million
UK: 543.76 deaths per million

I think the difference in the numbers is the State Governors in America. We have councils over here, but they have nowhere near the same levels of decision making powers. So in America the States management of Covid cushions against the worst outcomes from the policies coming out of the WH - well in blue states anyway. In the UK there is no such buffer zone of competent management, strategy and planning - hence our higher per capita death rate.

Trump sucks bad, and based on death rates Johnson sucks worse. Yay for us 👀

Republicans' Thoughts on the Candidates. Oh my!



Trump: A fraud. A race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. Incapable of being a unifier.

Biden: An Honorable man. Admirable. A legend in his own time.

Biff. Baff. Uppercut.

They said these things in saner times and they need to be called out every time they try and kiss the arse of the great orange swindler, or try and take a swing at Biden...

On #TeamJoe, we call them "people."

Cool. A few things:

1. On #TeamJoe, we call them "people."

2. 25 million more of them (people) had jobs when
Obama-Biden left office than do today.

3. Millions would already be back on the job if the Trump
admin had not botched the COVID response.


Capital is the one genuine love, the one true belief of these wankers. Get out there and make money for us you minions, irrespective of the danger, particularly for the old and vulnerable. The GOP’s new slogan should be Grandparents Or Profits. Let us see how that works out for them in November. At this point the GOP is one big death panel, which is kinda ironic given their hyperbole and scare mongering about pretend death panels if the ACA passed. Every policy and action in the last 6 months have condemned many more people to an horrific death than was necessary. Utter horror, but hey, Human Cost Capital is not worthy of policies that protect them, only policies that ensure their net contribution to the capital of the wealthy is maintained and improved – which to be fair, because of their sheer incompetency, they have failed at that yugely, also.

As of today at 09.00 GMT death rate in the USA is:



Sadly it will no doubt finally hit 100k by lunchtime. Human COST Capital did this. November cannot come soon enough, when people become people again.

when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the famous Bramble in NY's Central Park

https://twitter.com/melodyMcooper/status/1264965252866641920

Oh, when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the famous Bramble in NY’s Central Park, where it is clearly posted on signs that dogs MUST be leashed at all times, and someone like my brother (an avid birder) politely asks her to put her dog on the leash.


Karen called the police cause someone bird watching while a black man politely asked her to follow the rules. That shit might get him killed. Literally. What is wrong with these racist fuckers?!?!

Oh! Wait!

What price freedom?



This young generation will not forgive their elders over this shit. On every level they refuse to protect them - these snowflakes of 'tyranny' would see them die from a bullet or a cough, as long as they get to be like this...



And this



Death is freedom seemingly
