Jakabite posted:So I was just having my yearly shower and had an idea. I was thinking about that John Rentoul tweet about not wanting an inquiry that will assign blame, and it got me to thinking that there almost certainly won’t be one - that is to say that whole there’ll be an inquiry it will, like all inquiries by the establishment into the establishment, say that mistakes were made lessons should be learned but they tried their best and let’s all forget about it. Has there ever been a good enquiry in the UK? We all know if there will be one, it will be 2060 when everyone involved is retired or dead, headed by Lord Tory Wont Rock The Boat, cost a few billion, and to find out no one was to blame.

It took me far too long to realise this was from 2015, the only thing that didn't seem right to me was that anybody was expecting Corbyn to issue a festive message in the first place

I don't think we'll get to a situation where we'll be considering eating animals we know*, but I also fear that I might be being hopelessly optimistic there  * I've eaten horse bought from a supermarket in France, but things would have to get bad before dear old dobbin would be on my menu.

I think some people have never been alone for christmas before and think of it as a horrible prospect In 2017 due to a multi-day family emergency I had my birthday all alone. It was legit my favourite birthday and the most comfortable and relaxed I'd ever been. (e: the family emergency was a literal day of birth for a new lifeform)

Something that pcurred to me reading the government's guidance is that it all stinks of neoliberal, thatcherite 'personal responsibility.' It keeps coming up as an idea and a specific phrase all through the guidance. So much more of the government's apparent blunders make sense if you view it through the lens of a bunch of dudes who jerked it to Maggie through college, and are now thoroughly wedded to absolute horror at the idea of society existing, let alone coming together to help each other. It's why even support bubbles are described in such sociopathic terms. They can't bring themselves to use words like 'relative' or 'care;' instead it's technicalities over the age of the adult, and how many other people (not including carers) there are in the house.

When I still did family xmas back in the year dot - my sister who was preg but still living with the parentals, was 'due' in early January. My nan and I nodded sagely to each other and said "that baby will be born the day it can be most inconvenient" (this based on my parents' jobs at the time which involved working on xmas morning). Sure enough, my sister wandered into one of my brother's bedrooms at 7am on xmas day and said 'my water's broke'. Cue a day of sister having a long difficult delivery in hospital, the parents with her, xmas dinners being ferried up and down the motorway in cars - this is also a my family trope - meals on wheels - while my brothers and I chose a bottle of liqueur each and got totally smashed. Parents returned home late evening after the baby had appeared.

I went to waitrose and there are several newspapers with versions of the mutant Johnson on the front. As I was spending enough to get the free newspaper, I decided on the Sunday Times as having the best headline. Let me read it first before I go to the wall.

Every bit of rage we direct at the public for doing something we all admit we can understand as humans will be used by the government to deflect blame from themselves and is playing into their hands. You can’t help what you feel but be aware of that when you express it to others. It all feeds a narrative.

The pharmacy I work in has like a single loop people can walk around. We have arrows on the floor to direct people to go anticlockwise and queue on one side, so folk who are leaving can use the other side. Twenty times a day I must say 'Could you queue up on the other side with everyone else please?' 'Could you move so this lady can get out please?' 'Could you move back to keep a distance please?' 'Excuse me, your mask has slipped down, it should be up here, thank you.' One day soon I'm just going to start hitting people with sticks like driving cattle.

What a mess. Flight home was scheduled for Monday. Managed to flee London before midnight, got a ticket from Bristol instead only for KLM to cancel it. Then got another route through Scotland in the very nick of time, just making the last call for boarding after running through the airport. On the positive side I was introduced to the "Thatcher hosed the kids" song on the way, so it's not all bad. Hoping that the borders stay open for at least another few hours...
