I just saw some ad on TV for a new drama called 'Partygate' and it reminded me how there's such a strong current in the culture of the UK that people should not be enjoying themselves.

Are you in the UK? This is about everyone being in Lockdown but the PM & various other No. 10 people partying through covid including the night before Her Maj buried her husband.

Say what you like about Brenda, but at least she showed some leadership regarding what many people were going through.

There were no parties.
There was one party, that I was never at.
There was one party that I was at but only for a few seconds.
There was one party that I was at for most of it.
There were multiple parties, that I never went to.

Having to put her husband to rest completely isolated because it was the right thing to do to protect the public health and the perception that no-one was above the rules, while Boris and co were getting wankered and grabby hours beforehand...

No, just that we need to lock up all the ethnics and probably one of the call-ins featuring someone demanding hanging being brought back. I'll be honest, I was just skipping through the channels before ending up watching wrestling from May

I did catch someone on Talk TV with a Northern Irish accent insisting that what we need is religion to help bridge divides and I did a real "wait, what the actual gently caress?" Reaction

Al Jazeera were the only one not going on about it, their top story was the wedding in Iraq where they set off fireworks indoors and the building went on fire, leaving over 100 dead.

Lockdown might have been easier on Her Maj, but losing a loved one is the same for everyone, rich or poor.

I can tell you something now that I was legally bound not to say at the time: recruitment for Operation Unicorn, the plan for handling the Queen's death should it occur at her Scottish estate, was put in motion immediately after Philip's funeral. Nobody thought she'd last forever, but he was her rock and when he died it was anticipated that she wouldn't survive him more than a few months.

NYC also famously had a former mayor apologize on live TV for stop and search, calling it a waste of police time and public money and serving only to widen community divides and decrease trust, but we will learn nothing.

You can acknowledge that the royals suck, that the queen personally sucked, and also that he attending the funeral of her husband and rock completely alone must have been very painful and, on a more relevant note, makes boris and the partygate people
look really really bad in comparison. For all it may have been terribly misplaced and misdirected, Brenda clearly felt some sense of duty in a way our current crop of politicians don’t.

My mum had to attend my dad's cremation with only me and my partner in attendance, all masked, literally while Boris and co were getting over their hangovers from one of their lockdown boozeups.

This same woman later went on to opine (even after the Partygate details were revealed) that they should bring Boris back, because there is no bottom to the depths of mind poisoning this country's media does.

Besides, this is all well and truly memory-holed now, along with the far more heinous complete bungling of the covid response itself. The inquiry is still ongoing, not that anyone would know because it's dropped completely out of the news, and we all know what the end result will be (Lessons learned, a few wrists slapped).

Speaking of which MiL has had her booster, ~80 and diabetic so pretty near the top for vulnerability. Got the exact same Pfizer BA4/5 bivalent the rest of us got. I have no loving idea what the intention is with this season's booster vaccination programme and there is next to no information out there. I think it's noteworthy that when asked no pharmacist has given the exact vaccine name, the patient leaflet about it or anything other than vague "It's the latest one".

Does anyone want to see Aunty Donna: The Magical Dead Cat Tour this weekend? I’ve got two e-tickets available as we can’t make it:

Saturday, 30th September at 7:30pm
London Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith
Stalls Row C seats next to each other

We were asking for £100 for the tickets but I’m very open to offers, wouldn’t want the seats going empty.

I've been thinking a lot about how the Tories were unable to enforce lockdown because one of their own MPs was snapped coming out of Pret without a mask and they refused to punish him in any meaningful way, and also how that MP is now PM.
