I found my collection of lightbulb jokes from the 1990s and am saddened by how many of them remain relevant today.

E: How many UKMT posters does it take to change a lightbulb?

No, it's not 139 - the lightbulb itself contains the seeds of change and revolution.

Lockdown is definitely over because, predictably, Tommy Robinson has driven upto Barrow-in-Furness today and is holding court with a mob of the great unwashed in KFC's carpark.

It's that Barrow thing that's still ongoing:

I'd assume it's all bullshit 'cos Robinson's involved but at the same time, it seems remarkably similar to all the other abuse scandals that we now know were completely true. Trouble is, the only reports I've seen have been from this local rag, so it's hard to get any perspective.

im gonna take a wild guess and say the barrow thing will be dropped as soon as it emerges that a bunch of local businessmen, police and politicians were involved in the trafficking ring, just like rotherham. then both left and right can bicker about the tone of the press coverage and the actual story can be safely buried and forgotten.

She also thinks the virus is NBD and wouldn't mind catching it to prove it or some stupid poo poo.

Oh no, nothing like that.

She’s saying if you refrained from those things you’re a moron, a sheep, a barely sentient husk, and when the white patriots of Britain rise up you’ll be among those justly consumer in their cleansing fire.

I put garlic on the computer and arranged bell, book and candle around it, and had a quick peak at her timeline. She is really against lockdown, mask wearing etc. and thinks the HumanCapital should get back to work instead of living it up on furlough payments.

It's interesting the way the press has split. Daily Mail very clearly anti-cummings, Torygraph is slightly anti, and the Murdoch press is now definitely coming out in his favour.

Faisal Islam (https://twitter.com/faisalislam ) is posting a bunch of tweets - people have been going through the Wayback Machine checking out Cummings' claims.
(all separate tweets so not a convenient one to link to).

And this is funny:

Bloke jumps in to defend Cummings that he HAD been writing about pandemics for years. When asked to provide evidence which Islam has not yet been able to find:

That Facebook post is exactly why starmer et al will attack on Cummings and not the general handling of the crisis - idiots will say "you wouldn't have done any better" but Cummings breaking the rule is something they can process .

However, it remains to be seen if this will even stick to domm Cumm, let alone Boris, the Tories or our failing system in general.

Oh dear. My sister has this friend she's known since school days. The friend from time to time contacts me and I'm sure she's fishing for me to friend her. I have no intention of doing so. She's weird and posts constant god squad stuff.
Anyway, she's messaged me now and said the media are getting too big for their boots. And I said it's about time they did their jobs and held Cummings and Spaffer to account. No reply yet after a few quick fire returns on 'how are yous'.

No, he's saying it wouldn't have been appropriate for her to say her piece from the Oval because she was an employee and not the President, just as it is not appropriate for Subinic Goings to give an interview from the Rose Garden because he is an employee and not the Prime Minister.

a lot of them won't even bother slapping tape down, although I don't really blame them as it will do nothing

the government is quite happy to force people back to work during a pandemic and it's going to kill a whole bunch of people, and the only thing even approaching a consequence the people in charge are ever going to face is if the British public condescends to vote them out in 4.5 years
