Oh, Well.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55125802 Hopefully they won't continue to delude themselves. About the name that's at the absolute top of the list of creditors.

Which Still Sounds Like Noise.

When quietly correcting the error has always ever been the only option. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55133926

Always A Worry.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-55126198 When people can't distinguish between threats. And legitimate 'elf & safety warnings. https://youtube.com/watch?v=3PgNPc-iFW8 (Jingle Bells Original Song, a/v Kids Music Official).

Very Sensible.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you've done something so astonishingly stupid. You need to fix it immediately. Not waste time on yet another inquiry. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-55138030 For example. Surely they feel so much better. Having been discreet about the obvious inferiority of the squirrel hunt. Rather than still thinking they're in a Twitter discussion. Almost a full month after the passing of the absolute deadline.

Director Thornton Won't Be Happy.

https://us.cnn.com/2020/11/29/middleeast/iran-mohsen-fakhrizadeh-remote-control-machine-gun/index.html But has anyone ever cared much about what Director Thornton thinks. https://imdb.com/title/tt6154074/

As I Was Going To Bed Last Night.

It was; Definitely No Fracture! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55127559

And Now They Know.

How they've been making everyone wince. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-55126569

Again.

No smart person would ever have put themselves in this position. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-55125932 However if, by some misfortune, they'd inherited it. They would be quietly correcting the error. Nor terrifying their friends and allies. By screeching and shouting about how they still haven't realised it was an error.  

Today is a New Day.

November 30th 2020 (30/11/20). And at least the aches & pains have arrived on schedule.

Yep. That Was A Nasty One.

https://us.cnn.com/2020/11/29/motorsport/formula-one-crash-romain-grosjean-bahrain-grand-prix-spt-intl/index.html

Remember The Grand Cigarette Hunt?

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/what-are-chances.html The upside is that I discovered another couple of long forgotten CD's. Including, but in no way limited to; https://youtube.com/watch?v=g9o_sKk5RwM (Wreck Of The Old 97, Lonnie Donegan, Official Audio). It's like an explosion. Of cultural insensitivity. https://youtube.com/watch?v=waz8pZxLMjc (Joshua Fit De Battle Of Jericho, Lonnie Donegan, Official Audio). If, somewhat, appropriate. https://youtube.com/watch?v=taLWED3lIpc (Something's Burning, Kenny Rogers, Official Audio).

The Seemingly Eternal Question.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55119940 "So where is it then?!" "Where is it?!" https://youtube.com/watch?v=S71qCxI6Zmg (Daddy Won't Be Home Anymore, Dolly Parton, Official Audio).

Another Nation Left Bitter.

Having misplaced its faith in the Gay. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55120209

B,b,b,ut.

The Paris Agreement! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-55118406

Ammunition Technical Officer.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-55120210 It annoys me everytime people get that wrong. But not half as much as it annoys ATO's in the Air Force and Navy. And yes. We all remember the squirrel hunt. Where I first pointed that out. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-55118100

It's About That Age.

Where the prices start to drop. And the tricks start getting a lot uglier. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-55118130 It's really strange that Britain would be able to aim a blow like that. While still being in denial about it's Alpha and Omega.

Strange Bit Of Trivia.

I've never seen Star Wars. I do though know an Occupational Therapist who supervised his recovery from hip replacement surgery. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55117704 I think we've already more than covered the bit. About everyone aware to the rules of the road being driven to despair by Britain.

Today is a New Day.

November 29th 2020 (29/11/20). Although we still seem to be waiting for Britain to arrive in 1997.

Catherine Zeta Jones Won't Be Happy.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/55101034 And you're not going to like that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca_Mummy_Girl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mask_of_Zorro Also. A gymnast. Clearly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_(Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer) Seriously though. Chuck a stick. You've got about a 1 in 4 chance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_characters#Kendra_Young Of hitting a more credible accent.

You Can Throw Your Punches All Around.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-55109414 That lamppost isn't going anywhere. And the dues still need to be paid. In full. https://youtube.com/watch?v=b4rpUxXVsvM (The Dumbest Thing That Woman's Ever Done, Woody Guthrie, Asch, Audio, Topic). Also. Someone needs to work on their definition of; "New." To the ancient Finns it's was; "Loviatar." To the ancient Greeks; "Pandora." And to the Abrahamics; "Eve." The Yoruba's "Sopona" seems far more appropriate though. Given the palate. https://youtube.com/watch?v=tscL_I2v7pU (Wannabe, Spice Girls, Official Audio).

Absolute Dependency On The Party.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-55105158 Traditionally not an effective way to guard against hunger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1932–33 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1946–47

*yawns*

Again. No smart person would ever have put themselves in such a position. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-53350488 However if, by some misfortune, they'd inherited it. They would be quietly correcting the clerical error. Nor terrifying their friends and allies. By screeching and shouting about how they still haven't realised it was an error.

If You Want To Aim A Blow Like That.

Before even taking the first step on the road to recovery. Then you aim a blow like that. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-55104153 I'll be passing my existential crisis onto Rihanna. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_characters#Kendra_Young After all. "Minor role" is still a lot better than; "Not featured at all." Also. Why does it always seem to be women? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora

Obviously A Smart Person.

Wouldn't be in this position to begin with. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-55112800 However. If they'd had the misfortune of inheriting it from a predecessor. They'd be quietly correcting the clerical error. Not terrifying all their friends and allies. By screaming about how they clearly don't have any idea what they're doing.  

Nope. Too Sophisticated.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-55113149

Standard Progressive Analysis;

"Evil Jews attack hero Biden!" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-55111064 There's actually some room for the US to continue its sanctions. It may even be desirable for all parties. The issue for Trump's second term is those sanctions being imposed internationally.

So Far.

So pro forma. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55109168

Today is a New Day.

November 28th 2020 (28/11/20). I wonder what are the chances. Of me being able to get through my laundry in relative peace and quiet.

Yesterday's News. Tomorrow.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55092050

So Sad.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-55103745 Not that it's closing. That Britain still hasn't realised. That no-one else is going to be shouldering the cost of their screw ups.

That's Going To Get Embarrassing.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-55105934 Particularly if Iran try and put in an expenses claim. For all their heroic efforts protecting him from Israel. https://youtube.com/watch?v=_2XCw1pi8xg (Busted, Johnny Cash, Live, Official Audio). Now, as we plan out the second term. You'll have to remind me. Where is the Safa Plateau again? https://youtube.com/watch?v=y15cLmxeEPc (Do You Wanna Hit It, The Donnas, Audio, Freakiotic Bitzlecocker).

Step Away From The Ketamine.

Unless you want a repeat of 2013. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-55097088

Whereas Others.

Spend the best part of 20 years. Never getting there. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55071058 It was a strange, personal, highlight of the Season 2 finale of "Blindspot." Which featured the Jane Doe character climbing a rock face. Earlier in the day I'd been researching the Al-Safa Plateau in Syria. Which involved going through hundreds of Google images of similar rock formations. Including the one used in Blindspot. I'm used to recognising actors from things I've seen them in before. That's the first time I've recognised a rock formation.

Today is a New Day.

November 27th 2020 (27/11/20). And winter has certainly arrived.

I Hope Everyone Enjoyed Thanksgiving.

Particularly the dinner. Served with extra breadcrumbs. https://news.sky.com/story/us-election-result-trump-comes-step-closer-to-conceding-as-he-says-he-will-respect-electoral-college-vote-12143554

Obviously I Don't Watch These Things.

But it's certainly reassuring if Boris did use the phrase; "Take the foot of the throat." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55094367 Because that's certainly what's been baffling everyone. How Britain got to thinking it was somehow winning. Just because the boot had been momentarily removed from it's throat. As everyone else went and did more interesting, ISIL related things. After all interest is being accrued on the payments delayed by that clerical error. So Britain certainly isn't saving any money by delaying its rectification.

Maybe It's The Australian Accent.

But that still sounds like a question. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-55088230 When there's clearly never been any question.

Think Monolith.

https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-astrazeneca-to-run-extra-trial-of-vaccine-developed-with-oxford-university-12143150 There are no competing interests to be balanced here. Merely a binary choice. Between success or failure. Life or death. You certainly don't want to be listening to the zeroes. Who ever thought this was a good idea to begin with. https://youtube.com/watch?v=4G0_uqTqdEo (Bath Of Least Resistance, NOFX, Audio, Freakiotic Bitzlecocker).

You Don't Need Advanced Sensors.

To be alarmed by that. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55086621 The general tone is that Britain still thinks it's challenge is to balance competing interests. When it's facing a binary choice. Between success and failure. Life and death. Hence the growing sense of despair amongst its friends and allies. Who only hope the can find something in the Black Friday sales. https://www.screwfix.com/c/tools/screwdrivers-hex-keys/cat831030

You Can Say That Again.

And again. For obvious reasons. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-55083491

Today is a New Day.

November 26th 2020 (26/11/20). I could definitely get used to this. Waking up in the morning feeling vaguely human.

Thankfully.

https://us.cnn.com/2020/11/25/politics/joe-biden-thanksgiving-remarks/index.html There's absolutely no chance of penetration. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/hmmm-so-weve-all-seen-that-before.html

Hmmm. So We've All Seen That Before.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55069047 Even those amongst us who were Blinken. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/15/christchurch-shooting-new-zealand-suspect-white-supremacist-symbols-weapons

Appropriate Timing.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54810392 How many times this past year have we found ourselves thinking; "With all the credibility of an Argentinean inflation figure." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274

What Are The Chances?

I don't smoke indoors. However as I was just having a cigarette I needed to reach inside to grab something. As I was doing this a gust of wind caught the door. Knocking the cigarette out of my hand. Sending me on a mad search. To find out if the lot cigarette had landed on the wet ground outdoors. Or the carpeted floor indoors. Eventually I discovered. It had somehow managed to land in my pocket. Thankfully extinguishing itself in the process.

Week Six.

So I'm going to miss the big laughter line. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55061432 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH-i8IvYIcg (Why Don't You Get A Job, The Offspring, Official Video). Wait. It was intended as a joke. Right?! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55064037 https://youtube.com/watch?v=GpgyOzK7gxM (Can I Borrow Some Ambition, Guttermouth, Audio, Freakiotic Bitzlecocker).

As Far As He Can Tell.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55068277

Particularly From Kevin Spacey.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-55064746

Now That's Offensive.

Drawing an equivalency between the Yezidi and their oppressors. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-55067700

Clearly Some Ketamine Involved.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-55067876 To think that partnership was a good idea. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-55020573 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-54566767

Derelicts Hear What Now?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-55066859

There's No Hope For Them.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55065061 Given that Britain still hasn't leaned how to address a superior.

It's Hard To Tell With Biden.

Is that him indicating support for checks of goods crossing the border. Provided it's not soldiers doing the checks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55066703 Or Joe Biden just completely not understanding the issue at all.

Not Even A Consolation Prize.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55068783 Clearly there's nothing they won't say or do for attention. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54367998 So only complete fool would believe anything they have to say. Without having it independently verified. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/09/itll-never-make-cut.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVTI7mR4GJI (Skinhead Moonstomp, Symarip, Deluxe, Audio, Topic).

Today is a New Day.

November 25th 2020 (25/11/20). A big day, apparently.

Biden Can Afford To Take Thanksgiving Off.

Between Covid and that perp walk. https://us.cnn.com/2020/11/24/politics/biden-cabinet-nominees-event/index.html No-one's going to be rioting. When it's finally confirmed that he lost the election.

Got The Message Yet?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55056570 https://youtube.com/watch?v=RCxTp-6no9I (We're Desperate, Pennywise Ft. Exene, Official Audio). Because it certainly was. Moving that meeting to COBRA at the last minute. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55064962 See also; https://youtube.com/watch?v=4G0_uqTqdEo (Bath Of Least Resistance, NOFX, Audio, Freakiotic Bitzlecocker). Along with; https://youtube.com/watch?v=y15cLmxeEPc (Do You Wanna Hit It, The Donnas, Audio, Freakiotic Bitzlecocker).

Everyone Wants To Be A Bully.

Until they get punched in the face. Then all they want to do is go on Sky News. To cry to Kay Burley about what a tough guy they are. https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-tier-negotiations-delayed-getting-virus-under-control-says-minister-12140815

Quite The Shame Parade.

Whatever Britain thought it was going to achieve with that. It certainly hasn't delivered. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-55057671

Not Lost. Nor Stolen.

Merely traded for magic beans. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55044129 So if Britain is to have a chance of ever seeing them again. It'd best start sharpening its axe.

Are They Expecting Sympathy?

Having continued to squat in the properties. For so many years after their case was lost. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-55044368  It was somewhat cruel of the Crown though. To let them think that was ever going to be an option.

Clearly Needed A Replacement.

Given how tattered the one he's been waving has become. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-55054258

Quick Question.

For certain people. Do you ever get a funny feeling. That the things you think are important. Aren't important at all. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/ive-started-watching-parks-recreation.html https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-55042055 It's certainly going to require some perculiar alliances. To withstand the onslaught. If it is true. That Britain has helped inflict a Biden Presidency on the World.

Today is a New Day.

November 24th 2020 (24/11/20). Clear topic sentence required? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-55049678 Only if you've already withdrawn yourself from the decision making process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMwV8w_H9Jc (Cobrastryle, Robyn, Official Audio).

With Covid Once Again Raging.

You really have to wonder. How much more the Biden camp thinks it needs to do. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/ive-selected-my-secretary-of-state.html https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55046714 In terms of softening up the public before he finally concedes that he has not won this election. The pressure their performance has put on the honest public servants at the GSA alone has been shameful. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55052640

Because, Otherwise.

In Bristol you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-55048398 Seriously though. Hilarious as today has been. And reassuring as it is that Britain finally seems be realising that this is unsustainable. Let alone desirable. They really need to start thinking about the costs of the next stage. And how they can be kept right down. After all. They'll be the ones paying. In full.

I've Selected My Secretary Of State.

It is to be a job share. Between Adolf Hitler and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. An announcement which, thankfully, is identical to Joe Biden's selection of Anthony Blinken as his Secretary of State. In both intent and effect. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brookings-now/2014/06/06/antony-blinken-for-russia-bloom-will-come-off-crimean-rose/ https://www.aa.com.tr/en/politics/us-solution-in-syria-requires-assads-departure/106334

Nope. Too Sophisticated.

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-egypt-human-rights-activists-detained-intervened They won't figure it out. They can't figure things out even after they've had them explained to them. Really slowly. With lots of pictures.

So Still Not Delivered Then.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55046030 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-55022920

Yep. Already Added To Your Bill.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-55042525 As I've said; You can't do something that fantastically stupid. Then keep doing it for 15 long years. And expect anyone else to bear the cost. On the plus side though. Clearly today couldn't get any more humiliating. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/seriously-though-britain.html

Seriously Though Britain.

I think we all expected you to at least scrape a pass. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/ouch-thats-humiliating.html I see the poetry's still in full effect though. As we're forced to ask; "C'mon now Britain. Are you seriously going to keep fighting?!"  "Against the massive boost you so obviously need. To lift you up to just the barest minimum?!

Ouch! That's Humiliating.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55040635 90% immunity is what you achieve by just doing nothing. So for any vaccine developer 90% is considered the minimum grade needed for a pass. 70% is the threshold below which herd immunity cannot be achieved. So I hope this is highly effective for the over 65's and other vulnerable groups. They're the only ones who are going to benefit. I wonder how Britain is going to dump the other, roughly, 38 million doeses that it's over-ordered.  

It's Britain's Responsibility.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-55039041 Plus. Until they accept reality. They're only going to be stupid enough to try for one more round. No matter how baffled we all are. That they still haven't reached that conclusion. Despite their own obvious insignificance.

Which Will Be A Wasted Effort.

Until the infection has been fully cleared. And the resources are in place for an effective rehab program. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55038392 If you're going to fail that spectacularly. Don't think anyone else is going to be shouldering the cost.

Today is a New Day.

November 23rd 2020 (23/11/20). How pleasently civilised. For the first time in a while I'm starting a Monday feeling vaguely human.

Completely Pro Forma.

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/527096-trump-campaign-appeals-dismissal-of-pennsylvania-election-challenge What with the old quid pro quo. Clearly being the sole motivation. Behind the Biden appointees rantings on the matter.

Already Added To Your Bill.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-55028586 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-55034697 https://youtube.com/watch?v=otWrMONQKzI (Go Tell Aunt Rhodie, Woody Guthrie, Asch, Audio, Topic).

I've Started Watching; "Parks & Recreation."

Which isn't a hint. It's just I've never seen it. And some people claim it's funny.

Perhaps A Teachable Moment.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/damaged-in-urgent-need-of-repair.html Obviously he's furious. However, as a Judge. Shouldn't his fury be directed at the criminal enterprise forcing him into the cover-up?

*shakes head* Some People.

You know that fun G20 game we started on Friday (20/11/20). With the Yak Tong/Achtung! packages. My father's just ended it. Taking it upon himself to hand them over. Meaning they can't make the false allegation of theft.  So the country will have to select something else from the set menu to impose the closure order. To secure their bailout. I suppose though we're still left with the talking point; "C'mon Britain. You haven't given something of value to the wrong people again, have you?!"

Damaged. In Urgent Need Of Repair.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55030617 Robert Mueller has certainly helped take a lot of suspense out of the situation.

Six In Hospital.

That seems wildly optimistic. Given the reality of Six's situation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55032502 You certainly have a lot of tears to shed before you arrive at no mark councillor in bum f'ck town.

Today is a New Day.

November 22nd 2020 (22/11/20). And yep. I'm still a little bit proud of that. Managing to make a children's Christmas song seem threatening.

Silicon Valley Must Be Flagging.

Claims that Fauci & the Democrats know how to handle COVID-19. They're not just politically partisan. They're clearly dangerous disinformation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55030611 https://youtube.com/watch?v=bnz7FXTl9TM (This Wheel's On Fire, Julie Driscoll Brian Auger & Trinity, Audio, Topic).

Must've Failed Latin.

Along with science. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55029401 To think status quo is desirable. Let alone achievable. https://youtube.com/watch?v=3PgNPc-iFW8 (Jingle Bells Original Song, a/v Kids Music Official). Oh, go on then. The promptness of Match of the Day has clearly left me in a charitable mood; "Listen to your friends & allies in the top tiers. Polish off that set menu and be grateful for it. https://youtube.com/watch?v=OAr2Stq4Hls (Falling Is Like This, Ani DiFranco, Audio, HybridFalcon)."

Pure Sacrilege.

They're letting street dance onto Strictly Come Dancing now. In Blackpool week no less. When people ask me; "Why's Britain's version of Dancing With The Stars got such a weird name?" I have to explain. It's a nod to the show that started it all. "Strictly Ballroom." The title was a reference to the rules of the competition. As in; "Q. What styles of dance are allowed?" "A. Ballroom. Strictly Ballroom."

Yeah, Yeah.

About September 14th. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-55026991 Innit. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ng8uBPp8BNQ (You Ain't The First, Guns N' Roses, Official Audio).

Perhaps Labouring The Point.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55027641 But someone has to, I suppose. https://youtube.com/watch?v=1WaV2x8GXj0 (Ring of Fire, Johnny Cash, Official Audio). Careful though. Britain are not going to like that review. Despite having still not delivered.

It Must Be Terrible.

Having absolutely no idea why your reputation is in tatters. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-55027332

They've Let The Nation Down There.

It's humiliating enough that Britain was stupid enough to do it in the first place. Let alone to still be investigating. As to whether it wants to continue doing it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55028860 It almost makes be wonder. Should I have intervened sooner? Then I remember. At every stage I've clearly explained to them what they're doing wrong. Providing them with every off-ramp imaginable. I think we all recall the occasion. Where I was helping them at a mental health rehabilitation project. For free. They decided that was going too well for them. So decided to start paying a, legitimately,  borderline mentally retarded lesbian. To accuse me of bullying her. By virtue of being quite tall. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55026137 I think it was made perfectly clearly then. Until a clear, credible path back to reality. Out from under their epic fail. Is provided. We're done here. Now, we're how many years later? And that menu of statutory obligations isn't g...

Today is a New Day.

November 21st 2020 (21/11/20). And just a quick note; There may well be beer left somewhere in the World. That does not mean you have to go and try and drink it all.   Yes. That's really just a note for my benefit.

Important Vaccine Safety Alert.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55016023 This Pfizer vaccine involves; Taking part of the naturally occurring virus. Which is only ever going to be as dangerous as the virus. Placing it in an organic human fat cell. Which is only ever going to be as dangerous as a human fat cell. Suspending it in a gluten free saline solution. Which is only ever going to be as dangerous as a mixture of water and salt. Then injecting it into a muscle in your arm. Where the virus can't spread. But can trigger an immune response. So the most dangerous thing about it is probably the syringe it comes in. https://youtube.com/watch?v=2PpxJb1VgmM (Hypodermic, The Offspring, Official Audio). As for Britain's effort. If it ever arrives. Yeah, that's definitely giving you monkey AIDS. https://youtube.com/watch?v=RCxTp-6no9I (We're Desperate, Pennywise Ft. Exene, Official Audio). I wish I was being flippant but; Introducing monkey viruses to humans. I'm pretty sure that's just the start o...

And In Other News.

As you may have detected. I've recently been making do with the Sky Original; "Brave New World." https://youtube.com/watch?v=EKxTI9btf5k (Brave New World |Official Trailer | Sky One, Sky TV). Which seems designed entirely to remind us of the snatch line; "Jessica Brown Findlay Nudes Leaked!" Prompting the obvious response; "Honestly. I think Downton Abbey's the only thing we've seen where she's kept her clothes on." "And we're not totally sure we've seen Downton Abbey." #PublicSchoolWank. https://youtube.com/watch?v=JrskibEHNbs (Gold, Spandau Ballet, Classics, Official Audio). Also. UK Channel 4 has recently premiered; "Red Sparrow." Obviously I've not seen it. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/important-vaccine-safety-alert.html But if she's not prepared to use the password; "Soviet." I don't think I can be bothered fighting that particular three hour war. https://youtube.c...

If He Thinks He Can Do 5-8.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55006188 Then he can go do 5-8. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1001# https://youtube.com/watch?v=jeJUaBC_rhc (Hey Porter!, Johnny Cash, Official Audio).

And How Many Days Past Absolute Deadline?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55019858 https://youtube.com/watch?v=C0knlDtr5Cc (Thirteen, Johnny Cash, Official Audio). Well, 17. But give me some leeway. It could be worse. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0sajngb0W6I&noapp=1 (19, Paul Hardcastle, Official, 'Graphic,' Video, Chrysalis Records).

Yep. 75 Years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_trials More than enough time for Britain to finally learn the rules of the road. https://youtube.com/watch?v=6hhbu3vrnn0 (D.U.I, The Offspring, Official Audio). A queer bloody hill to choose to die upon. If you ask me. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ng8uBPp8BNQ (You Ain't The First, Guns N' Roses, Official Audio). Or, literally, just anybody else. https://youtube.com/watch?v=F5EUWBbvcek (Mirror In The Bathroom, The Beat, Audio, Ska200901).

And Now We Know.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/are-we-playing-jeopardy-again.html  "Yak Tong."  That's the name being used by the person running a totally illegal nail salon in the residential cave next door. In complete defiance of COVID-19 restrictions. Well. That's the name being used on their mis-delivered packages. Honestly. I would have gone with; "Mohamed Robinson." https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-55003424 So the county certainly has a great many statutory obligations to choose from. https://youtube.com/watch?v=CVirrNiNwl8 (Walla Walla, The Offspring, Official Audio). ; https://youtube.com/watch?v=_2XCw1pi8xg (Busted, Johnny Cash, Live, Official Audio).

Are We Playing Jeopardy Again.

As in;   "What's beyond; *cringe*? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-55018602 https://youtube.com/watch?v=zPa0ewqwpSY (What Happened to You, The Offspring, Official Audio).

Quick Rational Actor Test.

Has the errant behaviour been rectified? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55016076 Or simply wrecked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MIPXds8l6Y (Redundant, Green Day, Official Audio).  

As Expected.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55006188 I assume though that we now have a firm start date for Act III. After all Joe Biden is right about one thing. His repeated, false claims of victory are highly irresponsible.  But then, I suppose, the undermining of America as a democracy has been his goal all along.

Quite The Misclassification.

"Talking." When it should be; "Doing." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55007273

When Claymores Are Just Too Sophisticated.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55010929

Quite The Reality Gap.

Britain's maintaining its innocence. While demanding long, time wasting and noisy investigations. Everyone else is telling Britain that it's post-conviction appeals have been exhausted. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55015467

But Prop Up The Corpse.

Waste some more time on an investigation. I'm sure you can totally afford it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55013192 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55011477 Plus it's not like you're utterly terrifying your friends & allies. With this complete inability to accept reality.  

Just Your Own Mind Playing Tricks.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-55011790 As we've said. This continued refusal to accept reality. In the face of clear explanations and a mountain of evidence. That's starting to resemble a genuine psychological problem.

Today is a New Day.

November 20th 2020 (20/11/20). And once again it's back to modern life. Setting various batteries on various devices to charge.

2013's Called.

Apparently it wants it's news back. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-55008567 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55009228 From those who apparently lack the flair of even Estado Novo. https://youtube.com/watch?v=9y-8ZiAJiQo (Waterloo, ABBA, Official Audio). See also; https://youtube.com/watch?v=WbnG3eAGb6Y (The Winner Takes It All, ABBA, Official Audio).

The Claymores Were A Nice Touch.

If far too highbrow for the audience. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-54999008 I think we're all a bit puzzled by the further delay though. Particularly as Andrew Cuomo's one man show is firmly back on the road. John Mulaney's SNL monologue was certainly funny. But nothing lightened the mood of Lockdown 1.0 quite like the increasingly rambling daily tales of the adult daughters hating their father's cooking.

Oiled, Loaded & Ready.

Britain just need to take its long overdue first step on the road to recovery. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54994814

Still Nothing On The Board Then.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54993652

Quite The Shame Parade.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-55002139 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54988870 Now are we going to waste more time. On a long and noisy investigation. Into why Britain was never going to be permitted. To sign, certainly, the most hyped player of his generation.

Today is a New Day.

November 19th 2020 (19/11/20). And I've already got a feeling the wind, rain and gravity are going to win out.

Extremely Brave Of CNN.

 https://us.cnn.com/2020/11/18/africa/lagos-nigeria-lekki-toll-gate-feature-intl/index.html Given how the Obama/Biden regime rigged Nigeria's election. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/28/nigeria-election-stumbles-into-action-as-president-struggles-to-cast-vote I mean.  I'm sure even the Muslims will agree. That Boko Haram thing's totally fixed. Now those old Crayolas are threatening to come out again. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/10/michelle-obama-nigeria-presidential-address

What A Strange & Silly Little Man.

Thinking he "may" interrupt the grown ups. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-54912722 Seriously. How f'cking incommunicado was he?! To miss; The trial. The conviction. The passing of the sentence. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-54686812 It's okay though. I'll go wipe your bum again, hey. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/extremely-brave-of-cnn.html

Very Sensible.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer has moved exclusively to Channel 4's streaming service. At episode; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_Mind,_Out_of_Sight_(Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer) Apparently GCHQ really does need the commentary. https://youtube.com/watch?v=zPa0ewqwpSY (What Happened To You, The Offspring, Official Audio).

Seriously Though. These Manors.

That's what, four, five times I've killed their cancer now. And all I get's the verbals. As they try and prop up the corpse. For one more round. https://youtube.com/watch?v=wpIVk2AY3sw (Bar Room Hero, Dropkick Murphy's, Official Video, Hellcat Records). Eh, son. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54986916

Strange Way To Bang A Begging Bowl.

The cave dwellers have been back with the music to my ears. All day. Now it's got around to 7pm I knocked on the door to ask them to stop. They'd left it open. So I stuck my head in. Got the expected level of verbals. But did speak to the guy. I assume the county has been made aware. They still need to fulfil their statutory obligations. Particularly when it comes to public health hazards. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Mtv23cFtcBc (Busted, Johnny Cash, Official Audio).

Try Again Morons.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54985232 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54984297 There was only one correct takeaway from yesterday's consultation. Either take your long overdue first step on the road to recovery. Or; "What You Should Have Done" stays embargoed, contra mundum. Until it's all over and done with. After all. Britons being forced to live. As Britain has forced me and mine to live. That's not about me showing sympathy. That's about them learning empathy. Along with, maybe, some just basic competence.

Clearly We Can Say What We Like.

No amount of b'tch slapping is going penetrate skulls that thick. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54986208 That's about 4% less effective than me. 5% more effective than just doing nothing. And 95% more effective than anything Britain's got to offer.

Get To The Truth?!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54991018 You're in that extremely rare situation in the world of espionage. Where people are just telling you what they did to you. Along with why they did it to you. Really slowly, with lots of pictures. Your inability to accept the truth. In the face of a mountain of evidence. That's starting to look like a genuine psychological problem. The sort of thing that leaves you in incommunicado. Until you've got it resolved.

Genuinely Quite Frightening.

How many supporters of the Paris Agreement. Still believe that COP 26 has taken place as scheduled. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54981425 If it wasn't for the Paris Agreement. This would be part of a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). A self-selected, realistic set of objectives. That Britain would be legally obligated to achieve. Rather than a list of, frankly, lies. Intended to serve no other purpose than a noisy distraction.

Certainly Funny To Watch.

Democrat partisan gets baited. Into confirming that "Foreign Interference" was a lie. Effectively tendering his resignation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54982360 Although, apparently, we still need to wait. Until we can talk openly about the electoral fraud the Democrats have very clearly and obviously committed.

Derelicts Say What Now?

So there's no chance of them figuring out what this is really about. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54975507 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54978460 The one contractor you would never be permitted to sign. Because he can actually deliver. Along with the growing number of derelicts. Whose debts to him still need to be paid.  In full. Something to think about. Before you drive the remedial costs even higher.

Yes. Britain.

Your desperate need to employ a highly skilled professional has been obvious to all. For a very long time now. Fortunately the command protocol has been written for you. So you just need to muster the most basic ability of; Copy + Paste + Execute. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54985232

Today is a New Day.

November 18th 2020 (18/11/20). I'm just grateful I respected the time zone. Rather than getting caught up in the hilarity of last night.

Feeling Out The Second Term.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-54972269 Some of us, of course, built their professional reputation on the back of that. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54980141 So we can no doubt look forward to fires, explosions, car & train wrecks. As the Brits continue to struggle to get their heads around it. https://youtube.com/watch?v=6hhbu3vrnn0 (D.U.I, The Offspring, Official Audio)

Omitted An Important Detail There.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54975932 As if anyone's going to believe any of his mob were ever able to treat themselves. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/mar/14/labour-suspends-ahmed-jewish-conspiracy Seriously sloppy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54976558 Not that it matters much.

After all. The Price is the Price. That certainly won't be bringing it down any. https://youtube.com/watch?v=FxUlr9svOgI (Run On For a Long Time, Bill Landford & The Landfordaires, Genius, Audio, Topic).

Telephone Consultation Over.

Obviously there are confidentially issues. However I feel obligated to provide something of a read out. After all. This mess America currently finds itself in. With the Democrats still refusing to concede the election. Not at all a surprise. If you've got access to my text messages. Obviously there was some discussion of how this madness must stop now. Not too much though. It's certainly well known. How it can cause intense, almost physical, pain. Challenging such deeply held delusions head-on. I'm sure we've all had patients like that though. When it's just easier to let them go around thinking they're one of the staff. Up until the point they start trying to treat their peers. Then a firm line must be drawn. Health & Safety.

Can We Do The Obvious Joke Yet?

But Refuses To Drop The Ideology.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54970977 Surely the laws of war require Nazis to fly their Nazi flag high & proud.

Needlessly Spiteful.

With the first simple step towards recovery still, almost unblieveably, not being taken.  It seems inappropriate to start using the correct terminology. In public at least. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-54780027 After all. That is the story of every whore. At best they get two good years. Then the pay starts getting smaller. As the tricks start getting uglier. Once they're 13 years past their expiry date. The remedial costs are going to be astronomical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxUlr9svOgI (Run for a Long Time, Bill Landford & The Landfordaires, Audio, Topic).

Today is a New Day.

November 17th 2020 (17/11/20). A day which I've begun with a mad scramble to set the batteries in various devices to charge. Which I'm pretty sure is just modern life now.

They Have The Command Protocol.

So it's just a case of copy & paste then hitting return. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-54958785

Warp Speed Britain.

Warp speed. Clearly you know need it. https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-vaccine-uk-orders-five-million-doses-of-new-moderna-jab-by-spring-next-year-12134101 You are what happened there.

An option that will never be available to those still lumbering around with monkey DNA. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/health/vaccine-oxford-update-when-ready-19283599 Which is why it falls on me to explain. That's a very small sample size. On which to be claiming that it's more effective than just doing nothing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54959871

Are We Sure They're Not Just Too Painfully Thick.

To even when they've been absolutely taken to school. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-54908149

I Won't Be Paying The Bill.

So there's no reason for me to exert even a tiny bit of self-control. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-54965140 Clearly no-one can embarrass Bristol more than Bristol embarrasses itself.  

Now. About The; "Kung Flu."

President Trump's name for COVID-19. Yep. Even the Chinese agree. That's a little bit funny. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-53204953

Nope.

Drunk or hungover. Much like a Oxford University team. I clearly lack the mental capacity for any of that. https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-moderna-vaccine-shown-to-be-94-5-effective-and-easier-to-store-according-to-interim-analysis-12133893

Seriously. No Dumpsters Were Available?

It's not like anyone can claim 15 years is; "Short-Notice."  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-54957350 Now is Britain finally going to allow it to be put out. It keep deluding itself that it's an asset to be preserved.

Today is a New Day.

November 16th 2020 (16/11/20). Fortunately I'm not feeling particularly hungover. Unfortunately I think that's because I'm still a little drunk.

So Even His Sirness Is Taking The Knee Now.

https://news.sky.com/story/george-floyd-death-labour-leader-sir-keir-starmer-takes-a-knee-in-support-of-black-lives-matter-movement-12003611 I know we're all supposed to speak in those hushed, venerated tones. About that Sainted; "Gay Community." But from the members Britain keeps pushing to the fore; https://youtube.com/watch?v=EyBwEbdI0H0 (Ghetto Gospel, 2Pac, Official Audio). Honestly. I'd consider it a miracle of they learned to stop sticking themselves into the nearest electrical socket. Let alone into their own damn kids. I mean. Seriously. We've been suffering with the Covids for how many months now. And we're how many trillions in debt. Yet still we haven't implemented the 120% tax policy. By which I mean; Just skin him and all his family. https://youtube.com/watch?v=1o9rLDCfO6o (Goodbye England's Rose, Elton John, Live, Video, Philip Anness). Along with anyone who's been fool enough to ever wish that skite a happy thought.

Depressingly. A Series Of True Stories.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/scuds-over-tel-aviv.html Including one which involved a young woman named; "Edith." Creating the scene; Teacher; "Good morning. Today we have a new student with us. Edith from Eritrea. "So Edith. Why don't you tell us a bit about Eritrea? " Edith: "Erm, well, oh." Class: "Hello Edith. Eritrea is a new nation in East Africa. It's recently declared independence from Ethiopia. Amid much fighting many Catholics have fled." "So, Edith. Now you're here. Why don't you sit the f'ck down. And shut the f'ck up." After all. What's more welcoming? Then being heckled in your own damn language. And if you think that's too dark? Apparently the teacher was Angolan. So was hardly in full possession of all his limbs. https://youtube.com/watch?v=nrm2B0lhvYc (Holiday in Cambodia, Dead Kennedys, Convenience, Audio, Topic). But let's hear it. For all those heroic vir...

And It Was All Going So Well.

A quiet day. Meaning no-one had to catch the rough side of my tongue. About how the Royalty cheques are feeling more than a little bit light this year. The same they've been feeling the last 25-30 years. https://youtube.com/watch?v=R1xM-r4TF6Q (Staring At The Sun, The Offspring, Official Audio). Seriously though. That's two days in a row. She's managed to fail that most basic; "Try and keep a civil tongue in your head" test. So we have to ask? What the f'ck is so f'cking wrong with her and her family. That 15 years down the road. They still can't speak their own f'cking language. https://youtube.com/watch?v=pF6FyOOKhaM (What Happened to Ypu?, The Offspring, Official Audio). And if you think that sounds harsh. I joke. It's a miracle any of us live to adulthood. My sister actually died. The twice. Simply the result of absolutely astonishingly terrible parenting.

Oh, Seriously Now.

Either infection breeds immunity. Or we're all f'ckedity f'cked now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54954698 So go on Boris. Show us your number. Otherwise we're going to start thinking you're the type of mong who clogged up an ICU with a 93-94%. As for Carrie Symonds; It's been alleged she voluntarily touched that penis. Which is an instant Section 2.2 (UK Mental Health Act, 1983) https://youtube.com/watch?v=8MIPXds8l6Y (Redundant, Green Day, Official Audio). Oh, well. Hey, hoe. Maybe next time give Oxford University/Astra Zeneca a call. Clearly they've got millions of microscopes they ain't f'cking using.

Yeah. Super Relaxed.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54952098 Of course, being that relaxed. Can make it hard to stay awake for much more than a week. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50599080 And if anyone at Ben & Jerry's is still questioning; "Awake" is the grammatically correct version of; "Woke." https://youtube.com/watch?v=pvcb1mkihho (Not Face Away, Grateful Dead, NYC '71, Official Audio).

Right. Planet, Quick Search.

What's the title of The Grateful Dead song featuring the lyric; "You are the eyes of the World." I mean. Apparently they're big fans of bootlegging. Just not what you would describe as; "Detail Orientated." Oh. Okay then. https://youtube.com/watch?v=vCy9k_RWlvA (Eyes of the World, Grateful Dead, Studio, Audio, LongStrangeTrip710). Now why does my version cut out after about 9 minutes?

The Labour Party Need Attention.

Which is no excuse for journalists to actually give it to them. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54946046 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54947661

Is This Planning To Drag On.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54945154 Even Wagner would agree. Anything more than a week is getting excessive. For a second act.

Scuds Over Tel Aviv.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-54942546 Which, strangely, does put me onto more familiar territory. A suprisingly large amount of my school days were spent seeing the latest Eritrean refugee being introduced to the class. Reminding everyone why there were so many Eritrean refugees. I'm sure that will help provoke Eritrea into coming to the Tigrayan's rescue.

Today is a New Day.

November 15th 2020 (15/11/20). A fabulously wet and pointless November day.

Certainly A Nice Touch.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54945154 Democrats continuing to enthusiastically follow the South Korean lead. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/04/south-koreas-spy-agency-admits-trying-rig-election-national-intelligence-service-2012

Yes. That Needed Cleaning Up.

The original version displayed alarming signs of sociopathy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/election-us-2020-54937350 Being so utterly devoid of empathy. You assume that every open-ended statement agrees with you. What with you being the only real person in the universe. Everyone else just being mannequins, there for your entertainment.  

I Thought We'd Resolved That.

The John F. Bolton issue. Another man who should've been inactive since about 2003. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-54942839

At Least That's One Thing I Share.

With Prime Minister Abiy. The knowledge that war can be extremely f'cking messy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-54942546 Which, sadly, is about the limit of my knowledge of the situation at the moment.

Oh, Working From Home.

Well, that's face saved then. I'm sure Britain has now suddenly got another way out from under. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54941846 Also. The Labour Party really should stop attempting to plagarise my work. They're only half-right. Until Britain cauterises the festing wound that is the Labour Party. It's only ever going to be a bit; "Nearer My God To Thee."

Today is a New Day.

 November 14th 2020 (14/11/20). Which I consider to be the official first birthday of COVID-19.

It Was Certainly A Fun Summer.

Everyone laughing at me. Thinking I'd got the name of the virus wrong. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54935700

And Is That The Only Thing.

That's been happening in Georgia today? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54939212

It Certainly Made Us Smile.

The Scottish Government's daily briefing.  Earnestly discussing how to prevent a repeat of such scenes. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/fans-celebrating-scotland-goal-bar-23007083 As if COVID-19 will still be with us in 2042.

Interesting.

Obvious Aides Joke.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54937006 As in; They think they're doing fine. They think they're doing fine. They think they're doing fine. They think they're doing fine. Until they finally realise. They're really not. By which point it's too late. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Gr8AjZrFzAg (My Boy Builds Coffins, Florence + The Machine, Official Audio). Now is it possible to dumb it down enough? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54933193 For the next name on the list. https://youtube.com/watch?v=kRhXs_VunEw (Dirty Beats, Toni Size, Audio, Topic).

Jolly Good.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54938050 Now what's the next name on the list. https://youtube.com/watch?v=bfZ1TsD2sms (God's Gonna Cut You Down, Johnny Cash, Official Audio).

Close Enough!

Tony Blair. Jonathan Powell.

Gordon Brown. Tom Scholar, Stephen Carter, Jeremy Heywood. David Cameron. Edward Llewellyn. Theresa May. Fiona Hill, Nick Timothy, Gavin Barwell. Sorry. Just totting up. How little this news matters. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54933511 I assume the next name on the list has figured out; Britain doesn't get out from under this. Until Britain chooses to get out from under it. https://youtube.com/watch?v=l8hJvVkDuGo (You Can Have Her, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio). https://youtube.com/watch?v=mmlgc6znnNA (Run On, Elvis Presley, Official Audio). https://youtube.com/watch?v=_48uSWHZe5A (The End of the Line, The Offspring, Official Audio).

Foreign Election Interference Is A Lie.

Democrats unfit for public office. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54926084 Remarkable what happens isn't it. When you actually read things. Rather than just seeing the world through the prism of; "I Hate Trump!"

Some Headlines Can't Be Resisted.

"Cummings, Going." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54925322

So A State Funeral?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-54874713 We know all about Britain's fetish for that sort of evil. We've certainly all seen the 'happy place' they've been trying to console themselves in. As the going has got tough. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54889033  What shall we do instead. Put them on Prime Time TV. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54930488 #SluggishInstruments.

Today is a New Day.

November 13th 2020 (13/11/20). And so far. That is all.

It's Certainly An Idea.

Although one which would break with every known precedent and convention. https://us.cnn.com/2020/11/12/politics/republican-senators-biden-classified-briefings/index.html The Democrats refusal to accept that it's a moot point. Doesn't make it any less moot.

Instruments Giving Sluggish Readings?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-54920096 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-54908222

Reads Like Someone's Address.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-54922971

The Need Is Obvious.

And it has been for a very long time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-54920609 So Britain doesn't need to keep shouting about it's desperate desire to employ a highly skilled professional. It just needs to hurry up paying it's debts. And getting itself back to zero.

By Any Other Name.

I was wondering how they were going to dig themselves out of that. Having whipped the gay vote up.into a frenzy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54919497 I see they've simply decided to abide with the decision their superior made for them. That's rather the point though. Isn't it Britain. Everybody already knows that they don't yet need to be baby killers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-54913047 They simply need to manage expectations. Until they get themselves to the inevitable extraction point.

That's A Bit Better.

We're back to there being just one of everyone now.

Well. Brunch.

Whatever you call it. It's not going to change the fact. That it's still only a few short hours since I went to bed. So whatever today has to bring it can certainly wait until I've gone back to bed.

Today is a New Day.

November 12th 2020 (12/11/20). So can I have breakfast in peace now.

I Can Only Hope I've Served To Lighten The Mood.

Because, right now, there's no phrase funnier I can think of than; "Now here's Keir Starmer!" Except for, maybe; "Sadiq Khan. Still."

There's Trouble Enough In The World.

So who's still got time enough to give to the Kaiser. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54906483 https://youtube.com/watch?v=bnz7FXTl9TM (This Wheel's On Fire, Julie Driscoll Brian Auger Trinity, Audio, Topic).

Now We Must Lighten The Mood.

So here's some footage; Of the old Keir Starmer! https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1326454592184475648 Wandering around. Like he's still entitled. https://youtube.com/watch?v=lhCQeiQNIPo (Free Satpal Ram, Asian Dub Foundation, Audio, indiedancepop). Seriously though?!

A Wee Sad Verse Now.

So for whatever hateful nation they find themselves in. This #SinglesDay. Let me assure them; The day you try and stare down that whole cliff. That's the day it will eat you alive. https://youtube.com/watch?v=JIfOc6Tknvs (The Foggy Dew, The Wolfe Tones, Audio, Topic). #Quick! I've no shame in asking for a #tissue  https://youtube.com/watch?v=QHUG9f32OXk (My Old Man, The Irish Brigade, Lovely, Audio, Topic).

Quick Question.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier. Just to swap Nagano-Karabakh for Nakhichevan? And proving my status as an impartial, woefully uniformed, observer. I genuinely mean that as a question. I honestly now expect to.be bombarded with replies.  Informing me why, in great detail, exactly I'm an idiot. Just kidding. I think we all know how Twitter's made its position quite clear. Regarding those who dare to warn of the #alleged Incoming. https://youtube.com/watch?v=B_nlnT7VwZk (Valley of Knockanure, Sean Dunphy, The Very Best, Audio, Topic).

Yeah. I'm Having A Bad Day.

Well.  Someone's having a really bad day. I'm filing it under; "Distinctly Mixed." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2XCw1pi8xg (Busted, Johnny Cash, Live, Official Audio). But if, in the very near future. I find myself using the phrase;   "Why don't you go f'ck yourself. And all your ugly f'cking children. All the way to the kingdom the  f'ck cum." Rest assured. In London, U. That's not swearing. That's a warm up.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8nPHTKwQbU (Shutdown, SKEPTA, Official Audio).

So increasing the pressure of governments in Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDC's) to NOT introduce laws to combat deforestation and therefore Climate Change.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54894962 I really don't understand why US Democrats didn't take the same approach to COVID-19 as they did to Climate Change. Simply holding a press conference saying that they had defeated it. And, in doing so, making all evidence to the contrary magically disappear.

Oh, Dear. What A Shame.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-54876148 If only someone had given them a clear, easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmlgc6znnNA (Run On, Elvis Presley, Official Audio). Also; Scoreboard. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-54887526 It's been obvious for a good long while. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54897918 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdkaRbS5dc4 (You're Crazy, Guns N' Roses, Official Audio). Aren't we all surprised it's been indulged this far already? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-54902918 However. If preservation of life continues to be an objective. Then failure continues to be the only destination. As I've said; If Britain wanted these people to still be alive. It should have intervened.

Today is a New Day.

November 11th 2020 (11/11/20). What?! Clearly they started it. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/one-of-better-brooklyn-99-moments.html Although. In their defence. The move to the new network meant a whole new production schedule. For example they lost the fan favourite Halloween Heist episode. Also. Perfect Lockdown viewing; https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6443932/ The young couple who took social-distancing that little bit too far.

One Of The Better Brooklyn 99 Moments.

The Jake character wearing a Megan Rapinoe shirt. In an effort to provoke me. As they planned their coming season. https://imdb.com/title/tt10322288/?ref_=m_ttep_ep_ep6 A plan that didn't end so well. https://imdb.com/title/tt10322300/?ref_=m_ttep_ep_ep13

Yeah. It's Kind Of Hit Me.

The basically week long drinking session. That began the day after the US Election. So I might need a little bit of a refresher on all that. Tomorrow. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54885906

Certainly No Pride In It.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54895219 It will be a Lockdown Christmas. So I'm preparing another performance. Which may not be to everyone's taste. https://youtube.com/watch?v=nxTnJPIl20U (Dedicated Follow Of Fashion, The Kinks, Official Audio). Given the Armenian suffix. https://youtube.com/watch?v=oMbOW4qiOB4 (Musclebound, Spandau Ballet, 2010, Official Audio).

Unfortunately Most Of Those Questions.

Were along the lines of; "Who am I?" "Where am I? " "What's going on?" "Are you my grandchildren?" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-54887700 Britain's urgent desire to employ a highly skilled professional is perfectly understandable though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54892098 After all. Twitter's rampant disregard for the 1st Amendment. If that were found to be in-kind donations to the Democrat Party. Then that's something which would certainly have implications. Team Biden's views on the Zuckerbergs of this World are, of course, well established. So you'd think they'd be much better at reading the runes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svoboda_(political_party)

When You're That Hopeless.

No-one's doubting for a second that it was simply a mistake. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54892098 That, of course, seems less of a question over whether Joe Biden will be in office on January 21st 2021. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54892505

Check The Scoreboard.

Which has surely got to be the only appropriate way for me to respond.

Yep. Binned Off.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54874010 And now everyone is so much happier.

Quite The Miscalculation.

By the Democrats. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54882647 Assuming that they're still in power. As they were in 2016. So things will be swept under the rug. As they were in 2016.

They Should Start Immediately.

It's a simple matter of reversing a clerical error so moronic it should never have been made.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54882091 I mean. Surely they've spotted how happy everybody is. Now the UK Life Sciences sector has been binned off. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54882091 And the country is going to return to reality. After such a long break. https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-comments-made-by-prof-sir-john-bell-about-whether-life-could-be-returning-to-normal-by-spring-on-bbc-radio-4s-world-at-one/

Today is a New Day.

November 10th 2020 (10/11/20). Clearly my Internet connection is working. Which shows you just how low the standard currently is. It's a cause for celebration. Britain managing to get all the way through breakfast without doing something moronically stupid.

Given His Climate Policy.

https://memepediadankmemes.fandom.com/wiki/Old_Man_Yells_at_Cloud They know can't broadcast it. https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-joe-biden-says-challenge-facing-us-over-covid-19-is-immense-and-growing-despite-new-vaccine-hopes-12128662 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54875485 Yet they're choosing to broadcast it anyway. https://www.bbc.com/editorialguidelines/guidance/vulnerable-contributors As with King Canute & his courtiers. It's certainly a valid comparison. What with COVID-19 being a droplet borne disease. Which is why it is killed by heat. Just as President Trump has been saying all along. Well, technically it's; "As Effective As Just Doing Nothing." https://us.cnn.com/2020/11/09/health/pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-effective/index.html But what's life, without a little room for rhetorical colour. https://youtube.com/watch?v=SinOJQT5J4g (I Ride an Old Paint, Woody Guthrie, a/v, Smithsonian Folkways).

" Less Effective Than Doing Nothing." https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-pfizer-vaccine-found-to-be-90-effective-in-great-day-for-science-and-humanity-12128452 You can't be thinking Pfizer were intending that as a boast. https://youtube.com/watch?v=WUCnPjv_hRM (The Grouch, Green Day, Official Audio). Rather than providing us all with an example of 21st Century Bear Baiting. By forcing UK Life Sciences to try and spot the difference. For our amusement and entertainment. https://youtube.com/watch?v=KGd11AkfC50 (Traktor, Wretch-32, Explicit, Official Audio). Obviously I had to be explicit. Britain has great difficulty understanding. The phrase; "Not My Problem." Does not mean ; "I Don't Care." It means they have sole & exclusive responsibility. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54872352 To arrive at the extraction point. Intact and on time. https://youtube.com/watch?v=mmlgc6znnNA (Run On, Elvis Presley, Official Audio). https://youtube.com/watch?v...

So, Yes.

Clearly it's going to be a long time. Before Joe Biden and his team of Doctors appear on a British broadcaster. https://news.sky.com/story/joe-biden-formulates-plan-to-battle-coronavirus-with-new-adviser-picks-12127968 https://www.bbc.com/editorialguidelines/guidance/vulnerable-contributors Even if OFCOM have become increasingly sloppy of late. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54188788

Oh Dear.

Cue the honking seals. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54873105 When it really should be obvious. What's emerging as the big transatlantic talking point. Section 8.22 of the UK Broadcasting Code.  The most informative part of the BBC's output at the moment. https://www.bbc.com/editorialguidelines/guidance/vulnerable-contributors

Today is a New Day.

November 9th 2020 (9/11/20). And so far so lucky. Although Britain is messing with my Internet connect. Not that it matters much. Like the pretty much the rest of the country in Lockdown 2.0. Chances are I'll be going straight back to bed.

Now Wish Me Luck.

It was at some point during Lockdown 1.0 I discovered; The Tesco Express' selection of frozen pizza is sh", what less than useful. So I picked up an all cheese version. Along with a selection of random meats. All of which need to be cooked at different temperatures. Today, amid Lockdown 2.0, I decided to risk it. Tomorrow we shall discover how many souls think that was a mistake And exactly how much I'm going to regret all that hot sauce. And if you're alarmed. By those sirens suddenly cutting through the silence. Let me assure you. Those sirens have always been there.

Something Of A Lukewarm Opening.

But only about three hours warning. So stick with it. After all. Apparently Joe Biden's transitioning. And The Mask nutter only becomes openly transphobic about halfway through. https://youtube.com/watch?v=8rX1Xki2vzc (It Follows, Minor Threat, Audio, Topic). Seriously though #Brooklyn99. Where are they registered? The local f"kin' cat sanctuary. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/oct/31/megan-rapinoe-sue-bird-engaged-uswnt-wnba But much more importantly; When's it going to get funny again. No rush, of course. We're still waiting for Channel 4 News to get picked for games.

It Could Be Worse I Suppose.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/apparently-absolution-was-not-sought.html It could be a Scot. https://youtube.com/watch?v=h0JE_gVtAkY (We're Coming Down The Road, Blair Memorial 2011, Video, Band Parades - Promoting the Band Scene).

On whatever streaming service is available in your region. https://news.sky.com/video/joe-biden-says-lets-give-each-other-a-chance-and-reaches-out-to-trump-supporters-12127172 It has got to be the most surreal concession speech ever delivered. https://youtube.com/watch?v=yfl6Lu3xQW0 (Don't Mention the War, Fawlty Towers, Video, BBC Comedy Greats). So, in summary; https://youtube.com/watch?v=RwMwrft7So8 (The Plot Against America, Official Trailer, Video, HBO). Trump is staying in the White House. Joe Biden is going to go be President. In a similarly secure location. https://youtube.com/watch?v=e7KkMJMDW2A (78 RPM, Stiff Little Fingers, 2002, Official Audio). Hopefully that will serve as a Binding Spell ...

Yeah. My Sky Sports Pass Expired.

And honestly. I've rarely been as happy. Man City v Liverpool was always bound to be an absolute mess. After all. Black. Brown. Blue. Shi'ts all the same. https://youtube.com/watch?v=UFobwPlk4ho (Gin House Blues, Nina Simone, Official Audio).

I Still Think Nicola Adams...

https://news.sky.com/story/us-election-results-president-elect-joe-biden-arrives-at-church-on-his-first-day-of-business-12127663 And it certainly wasn't given. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xdYuMDqRt9g (Amazing Grace, Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band, Single, Audio, Topic). Seriously though. Can we all just not have a day from this bollox now. Or 3-5 years.

And Speaking Of; "Rowing."

Back to Porton Down! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk0B71bzlMw (Michael Row The Boat Ashore, The Beach Boys, a/v, Jaime Dingledine).

In The Traditional Fashion.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54854982 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8MugLj_YXw (The Oul Alarm Clock, The Davitts, Audio, Topic).  

Mildly Amusing Fact.

In an episode of the TV Show; "Scrubs." One of the Doctors makes a joke. About putting a patient on the drug Interferon. To start Interfering with their MS. That is exactly the joke the drug manufacturer made when choosing the name. Which, if nothing else, shows that some Black men listen to country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8hJvVkDuGo (You Can Have Her, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio).

Quite The Sanction.

For a; "row." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-54862787

Some Things Can Speak For Themselves.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54840746 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-54841316 Although the mere fact we're in Lockdown 2.0 seems to suggest that Boris Johnson shouldn't be amongst them.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwEOZtJm8pU (Bob Wills Is Still The King, The Rolling Stones, Live, Official Video).

Corded. Obviously.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/my-hair-clippers-arrived.html There's absolutely nothing amazing about the batteries running out halfway through.

Oops. Nearly Forgot.

Sshhh! https://news.sky.com/story/remembrance-sunday-britain-to-fall-silent-as-commemorations-are-scaled-back-12127221 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_nuOyxMrMQ (Come Out Ye Black & Tans, The Wolfe Tones, The People, Audio, Topic).

Today is a New Day.

November 8th 2020 (8/11/20). I had toast for breakfast. Breadcrumbs everywhere.  But that's outsourcing for you.  https://www.sylvanianstorekeepers.com/

My Hair Clippers Arrived

And the free trial has been cancelled. It actually turned out to be hair clippers, beard trimmer and nose hair trimmer. Suggesting I probably shouldn't be doing this sort of thing whilst still a bit drunk. Even if it took Lockdown 1.0 to remind me. How amazing it is. To get super-high then crop your own hair. https://youtube.com/watch?v=EtCLarM4TNI (Black Is The Color, Nina Simone, Wind, Official Audio).

May He Have A Long Life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUJp3O_79zU (Stranger That Fiction, Bad Religion, Official Audio). After all. COVID-19 may cause thespis. But why should that get him out the thit. https://youtube.com/watch?v=DcvWrxrNk4k (Worried Man Blues, Carter Family, a/v ILOveOldies). I think we can all agree though. #SNL is going to be awesome. Apparently the moment you see it you'll absolutely plotz. https://youtube.com/watch?v=h0JE_gVtAkY (We're Coming Down The Road, Blair Memorial 2011, Video, Band Parades - Promoting the Band Scene).

When Act II Begins.

It shall be entitled; "Super Eurovision." https://youtube.com/watch?v=SinOJQT5J4g (I Ride an Old Paint, Woody Guthrie, a/v, Smithsonian Folkways).       And the traditional figures shall embarass themselves. In the traditional fashion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZI0_aR7BuA (The Last Of Our Kind, Rykka, Official Video, Eurovision Song Contest).

Ooh. It's Suddenly Got A Bit Draughty.

Innit. https://youtube.com/watch?v=GlG20hHld_U (On The One Road, The Barleycorn, Audio, Topic). So when is Pillar O'Clock this evening? https://youtube.com/watch?v=lxsJJma76nI (Red To Blue, Billy Bragg, Lyric Video, Kevin Boyd).

Britain's MI6. Still Useless.

Strictly useless. https://youtube.com/watch?v=R1xM-r4TF6Q (Staring At The Sun, The Offspring, Official Audio). There's no pride in it. Having a prank played on you by the bigger boys. There's certainly no pride in continuing to blast away at it. Even after the bigger boys have clearly explained to you that was only ever intended as a prank. And are instructing you to proceed, at haste, to the extraction point. Alpha. Omega. It's all the same. https://youtube.com/watch?v=HbwaTo3XhAs (The End of the Line, The Offspring, Official Audio). I mean. Surely. It can't have escaped their attention that they're already in Lockdown 2.0. Where remedial costs are only going to sky rocket. https://youtube.com/watch?v=F5EUWBbvcek (Mirror In The Bathroom, The Beat, Audio, Ska200901). A rush job. Obviously. https://youtube.com/watch?v=LQDYmN5migU (The Part NBC Cut Out, London 2012, Video, Chesney C). With audio; https://youtube.com/watch?v=wcrOq0-5JPo (Abide With Me, Smell Sande, Lon...

In The Mask Nutters' Defence.

They've clearly never heard of Socrates. So will only ever plead ignorance of Thespis & Aeschylus. https://youtube.com/watch?v=t9-mKKotWZo (Intermission, The Offspring, Official Audio).

*Yawns*

That's finally been recorded in the ledger. https://news.sky.com/story/us-election-2020-joe-biden-projected-to-beat-donald-trump-and-become-next-president-12123216 "Knowingly made false claim of victory." "In malicious effort to obstruct investigation into electoral fraud." https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ld6z8Jwmt8Q (The Hustle, Van McCoy, Original Mix, Official Audio). ; https://youtube.com/watch?v=xz2tChEEZn8 (You Had Time, Ani DiFranco, Audio, HybridFalcon).

But Let's Hear It For Joe Biden.

Apparently he's secured almost 76 million votes! From a pool of 100 million ineligible ballots. Meaning that if the Democrats do contest the 2024 Election. They'll be starting for minus 24 million votes.       So Keith Ellison clearly needs to explain. Like an operator. To a ship. How do you plot to steal an election. Yet end up tanking it that badly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVjk_aFdfF8 (Kinky Boots, The Irish Brigade, Audio, Topic).

In Case The Musk Nutters Were Still Wondering.

How perfectly normal it is. For a novel Coronavirus to emerge almost each and every year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54818615

How Perculiar.

They seem to be operating in a reality. Where COVID-19 never happened and they're currently hosting the COP26 Summit. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-54840311 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54841528 I guess we owe the Progressives an apology. Apparently simply saying there's no evidence that COVID-19 exists makes it true. Oh, wait. No. Hang on. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54815677

Yes. I Know It's Inappropriate.

But it's right there; Apparently Joe Biden has another son in the military. Major Drug Problem.

Today is a New Day.

November 7th 2020 (7/11/20). And as I was saying. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54851759 To the DNI; No more miracles for you. Turns out you're actually going to have to work a day in your life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxiDkybudJg (Cedartown Georgia, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio).

This Act I Has Grown Boring.

It's Friday night. So maybe we just let the Democrats work through all their little tantrums. At the same time. Like it's 1865. https://youtube.com/watch?v=eWvdf_51Iq0 (The Fighting 69th, The Wolfe Tones, a/v, ©Fegral). Obviously I'm not suggesting anything utterly insane. Like the reintroduction of; "The Fairness Doctrine." However. Surely we reach a point. Where every broadcast media in the country blaring out; " THE DEMOCRATS ARE STEALING THE ELECTION!" "THE DEMOCRATS ARE STEALING THE ELECTION!" "THE DEMOCRATS ARE STEALING THE ELECTION!" Becomes the proverbial fire in the theatre. https://youutube.com/watch?v=Rse-eSFFz9s (Drinkin' and Dreamin', Waylon Jennings, Official Audio).

Like I Said Joe.

I can always fill the time. If you'd like. https://youtube.com/watch?v=hXNOx61Jrr0 (True Confession, The Silvertones, Audio, Copasetic Boom). Hmm.  CNN are still rumouring that he will take to the pillar tonight. Despite his Consglieres telling him that it's not happening. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/oops-mask-slipped-there.html

Oops. The Mask Slipped There.

In their most recent (~18:00) press conference. Election officials in Pennsylvania confirmed. What we've all known throughout. "Eligible Ballots" and "Absentee/Postal Ballots" are two legally distinct categories of ballot. They cannot be used interchangeably. Particularly not with malice & aforethought. America and the World certainly can't pretend they weren't pre-warned. Of what the Democrats were plotting to get up to there. https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2020/10/28/philadelphia-protest-police-commissioner-danielle-outlaw-blood-thrown-walter-wallace-shooting/ https://youtube.com/watch?v=27nelE9BuHo (Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out Of Hand, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio).

Yes. If The Democrats Keep Pushing.

We might have to push back. Then there's no reason we should stop. Until the job is all the way over. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54822789  

"We Are Counting Ineligible Ballots!"

"We Are Counting Ineligible Ballots!" Yeah. Every time a US election official says that. It's evidence of electoral fraud.  If COVID-19's taught the Progressives anything. Surely it's that simply shouting;  "There Is No Evidence!"  Doesn't actually make the evidence disappear. Facts still matter. Reality still matters. People are still going to die.

An Appropriate Way To Celebrate Bonfire Night.

As it comes under sustained attack. After all. Isn't that what BBC World Service, Radio Free Europe etc were set up to do. Interject a little bit of reality. When the tyrant starts makes deranged claims. About record turnouts and ballot boxes stuffed with support for them.  Well. I say; "Crucial." Of all the brattish teenager's wild claims. Surely that's got to be the hardest to believe. That they weren't informed in advance. Everybody was informed in advance.

November 6th 2020 (6/11/20). And I have to ask; Have the Democrats declared Radio Free Europe to be "Russian Propaganda" yet? https://www.rferl.org/a/apparent-ballot-box-stuffer-is-caught-red-handed----and-blue-gloved----at-russian-polling-station/30700701.html

Seriously. How Embarrassing.

Russia knowing more about US election law. Than the US Democrat Party. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/11/you-want-russia-to-troll-your-election.html Eurovision fans can instantly spot the difference in quality. Between Opera. And the old gangster rap.

I Wish I Were Shocked.

That Joe Biden still hasn't made his concession speech. But then, he was one of the main architects of the effort to steal the 2016 Election. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ipILw5PcMFA (The Wall, Johnny Cash, Official Audio).
