23 September - A snitch down the line results in a fine
I
thought I would risk a short spell in prison by turning on my unlicensed
television to watch the buffoon on the box but after two months of disuse I
couldn’t find the remote control. The radio came to the rescue.
I might have more time for him if he wasn’t so keen to listen to the discredited
Halfwhitty and Unbalanced. Their grasp of statistics appears to be as poor as Neil Ferguson’s.
As Chris Kirk-Blythe says is his the letter to the Daily Telegraph,
if that hapless pair are right and everything is getting twice as bad every seven days then we are all dead by Christmas.
But is everything doubling every seven days? It seems not. It is just another scare tactic.
The Office of National Statistics says that Covid19 deaths were 1% of the total
in the first week of September and the second lowest since March.
There were 3,330 new cases (positive tests) on 13th September and 3,889 a week later.
Another of their so called facts is that we are two to three weeks behind France
which had 9,406 cases on September 11th and 13,215 a week later so maybe we will
get around 10,000 in another couple of weeks. 10,000 is a long way short of
50,000. Where did that pair of chumps get their figure from?
France is not in national lockdown. My BBC journalist daughter is working from
home. Her childhood friend who does the same job for French TV is back in the
office. She was not given a choice.
If Boris Johnson is following the wrong science no wonder he is making such a mess of things.
His latest round of restrictions don’t affect me directly and won’t unless he
changes the bubble arrangements although his cancellation of two cancer related
hospital appointments may eventually.
What I simply will not forgive when it comes to voting time is his eagerness to
impose punitive fines.
If Bexley Council issues you with a parking fine you can appeal, to the
adjudicator if necessary. If someone snitches on you for having six guests in
your garden the penalty can be £10,000 without any right of appeal.
Boris Johnson is behaving like a banana republic tyrant who is too fond of the bottle.
