12 June - Dangerous developments
You go away for the weekend and miss all the fun, weather included. It is
fairly consistent when I journey westward that for better or worse the weather
conditions reverse at the Membury Services. This time the sunshine disappeared
and was not seen again until the return leg. With no wi-fi
(it usually works down there but not this time) I was almost cut
off from news which included the rejections from
Boris Johnson's dubious Resignation Honours List (PDF file) and had to trawl
down to the humble OBEs this morning before finding a name I was both familiar with and
thought might merit a gong.
Colin
Cromarty Bloom, faith adviser to BJ. Presumably he would have faced the same uphill struggle as he
did against Teresa Pearce in 2010.
The
big man himself resigned on Friday, a figure of fun who consistently lied in all
the years I have followed his antics but nevertheless convinced me he would put Britain first and
Get Brexit Done etc. He turned out to be a tax raising green socialist failure
- as well as a liar. Now he has set out to destroy Rishi Sunak so my loyalties are torn yet again.
A week ago a friend said he had come around to my point of view on the
future of British politics. “What is that?” I asked. “It will never happen but the only way
to secure real change is a bloody revolution.”
I donְ’t remember saying that but I wouldn’t totally disown it. In fact I heard the same from a usually laid back family member on Saturday and
when speaking to two farmers the following day.
The political classes have no idea what the general population may be thinking and that is dangerous.
Even way down west of here ULEZ was another conversation piece, maybe because a loon
runs Bristol as well as London. I said, not for the first time, that the haulage
companies could and should bring Khan and London to its knees by refusing to service it.
I was told by someone well connected in transport circles that that was the
likely scenario in 2024 if Khan doesn’t come to his senses over safety issues that
have not yet captured the attention of the MSM. ’Nuff said!
Back home I found that Country Slop has emptied the
contaminated bin neglected since April and left it unlocked so that the cycle can start again. Strictly speaking it is
already contaminated because Country Slop didn't empty it properly.
On the parking front it is back to normal. Van drivers return from their
overnight work and have nowhere to park because of commuter parking.
I had no intention of reporting the white van driver under my ‘commuters only’
rule but the driver told me he would only be there ten minutes until a parking
space became available. I showed him where there was a space but maybe the
language differences got in the way and he was given a ticket more than two hours later.
The car in Photo 4 was reported by the resident who was blocked in. The vans
were not blocking the roads but the cars were. Guess which interests Bexley
Council. I think their inability to do the right thing for residents indicates
yet again that they probably hate us.
