As a retired senior civil servant had I like Gavin Williamson told someone to slit his throat I would expect to be suspended, investigated and then sacked.

Michael Gove has trashed the Truss mini budget. And he trashed it in public. You know you’re in trouble when Gove is knifing you in the front rather than in the back.

I stopped watching Question Time after Brexit. The show does well to show majority opinion accurately and week after week we had Brexiteers majorities. It depressed me. I watched the show tonight. The tide has turned. The Tories are in office now, but not in power. It’s over.
My father fought in World War Two. He would be proud of what the Tories have done for Britain. Mind you, he was in the SS.

Kurt Zouma is a footballer who was filmed mistreating his cat. Awful man. But a great subject for todays two minute hate. Orwell called it right in “1984”. Public attention moves off shortages, deprivation, bad government when you give em someone to hate. We are being played.
27th .January. If we forget, we repeat. If we forgive, we allow.
Villa Marian. Today. A stab of missing our home in Crete and a big does of absence sadness.

If I’m asked to repudiate the devil on my deathbed I’ll decide that it’s really not the time to be making new enemies.
Here Comes The Polar Night by Paul Brown on #SoundCloud soundcloud.app.goo.gl/MEDiXZ… Lead track on my Arctic soundtrack.
1. There were no parties. 2. Rules were observed at all times. 3. There was a party and I’m furious. 4. I wasn’t there. 5. I was there but it was a work gathering. 5. With food and wine. 6. No one told me it was wrong. Not even the man making the rules . Which was me.

80th anniversary of the Wannasse Conference. On 20 January 1942 the heads of the Army, Nazi Party, SS, economic department , leaders of the occupied territories and the Government lawyers decided to murder all of the Jews of Europe. A tragedy. Not so long ago. Not so far away.
1. There was no party. 2. I’ve assured myself that all covid rules were followed. 3. I’ve found out there was a party. I am furious. 4. I was at the party but it was a work event. 5. The invite did say party but I never read it. 6 No one told me parties were not allowed.
Two years ago I predicted a pandemic. I thought flu but same rules apply. We were due a pandemic. We knew what needed to be done; lockdown fast, lockdown hard and lockdown wide. But we,had,the Cheltenham Gold Cup, international football and we kept the airports open.
Starmer has just done Johnson. He made Johnson deny the piling up bodies remark. If it turns out Johnson did say that he has lied to Parliament. And that is fatal.

I spent 35 years as a civil servant. If a citizen had lent me money when I was responsible for their affairs I’d have been sacked on the spot because the loan put me in their debt. Not hard to understand, is it? Boris?

The acquittal of Donald Trump is the right thing. Not because he’s innocent- he is guilty as sin- but because eit means we can forget him more quickly without the circus of a trial. Let him sink into obscurity and infamy.
Evening walk around our lovely town. Buxton.
