Update from The House of Plague, Day 59

[elisi]

In the last 10 months alone, Boris Johnson has become PM, broke the constitution, started Brexit, won an election, got divorced, got engaged, nearly died, had a baby, and buggered up a pandemic so badly that 40 thousand people died.

We’ve got him for 5 years.

I'm just saying that "stop criticising, they're doing their best" is for when a children's football team are losing a match not for when an elected government is handling a crisis this badly.

Remember this name. Emanuel Gomes. He was a cleaner at the Ministry of Justice; with no occupational sick pay, he carried on working to afford to live. He died on 24th April. Coronavirus is a class issue.

And finally, something a little more light hearted.

Two people from different households are permitted to meet, but only if those two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

Love that "they're just doing their best" tweet. Someone just said that about Drumpf recently and I had to bite my tongue so hard not to go off.

"They're doing their best"

My response: "Their best isn't good enough"

Silence.

There is a nice variety, people are clearly enjoying making fun at the nonsensical rules.

Twitter (despite everything) has its merits.

Interesting. I never know what'll do it.

[sea_thoughts]

This cheered me up though.
