You Have Two Paths: Pathological Or Pathetic.

It’s like having to pick between variants of Covid-19. 

Down one path you will find pathological Boris Johnson, and down the other path you will find pathetic Keir Starmer. 

Are these two establishment stalwarts the very best of what Britain has to offer? 

Do you honestly trust either of them to make your life any better than what it is now? 

If you answered yes, what’s the point in reading on from here? People can’t stand home truths at the best of times. 

Despite one opinion poll putting Starmer SIX points behind the worst government in living memory, a couple of the polls are putting Labour neck and neck with the Tories. If you think this is down to the wooden-like pitiable Starmer, I’ve got news for you. 

This is down to Boris Johnson alone. 

People are sick of him. I’m sick of him. You’re sick of him. His Fiancé is sick of him. He’s probably sick of himself. So he should be.

If Mr Starmer had some progressive, common sense socialist policies, like the ones he promised to offer, he might be closer to the 20 points ahead that you were promised by the Keirleaders. 

“Any other leader than Jeremy Corbyn”, they said. This was quite obviously untrue. 

If Captain Yellow Belly can’t get a mile ahead of this rotten abomination of an administration now, there’s not much chance he ever will. 

Team Starmer are relying on Johnson’s own unpopularity to see their man home. The naivety, considering what these focus groups and SpAds get paid, is utterly astonishing. 

There’s probably as much chance of me being the next leader of the Conservative Party as there is of Boris Johnson being Starmer’s opponent at the next General Election, which is likely to be three years and five months away. 

A day is a long time in politics, 1,250ish days in politics is a lifetime. 

Johnson is doomed. I could write several blogs detailing his every disaster during the last year or so, but I’ll keep it as brief as I can. 

Johnson and his government failed to act quickly enough during the initial outbreak. Had his government acted sooner, much like the rest of the world, tens of thousands of lives could’ve been saved. 

While the world implemented a safety blanket around its people’s, Britain, and the United States threw the elderly and vulnerable under a bus and let the deadly disease do the rest. 

While global leaders prepared to fight the deadly virus, Boris Johnson quite literally went on holiday. Well, books won’t write themselves.

Do you remember when he said we would turn the tide on the virus within 12 weeks? Then it was by Christmas.

Do you remember when he promised the world-beating test and trace app that was meant to be in place by June 1st for schools to operate safely? Where is Dido Harding anyway?

Do you remember when he told you to sing happy birthday, twice, while other nations had already locked down and had a cohesive plan in place? 

Do you remember when Johnson boasted about shaking hands with Coronavirus patients in hospital, shortly before needing assistance with his own breathing? 

You do have to wonder if a man so willing to abandon his own children with such ease is the best person to do what is right by *our children*. 

Shouldn’t a leader at least have some sort of a moral compass, or are we now so far down the rabbit hole that his racism, his homophobia, his philandering, his thuggery and his complete inability to lead a country somehow doesn’t matter, because it’s just ‘Boris’? 

Dear old Bojo. Bozo the clown. BJ.

He isn’t your friend. He’s not a big misunderstood cuddly bear. He isn’t your mate from down the pub. He is a pathological danger. Call him Johnson, not “Boris”. Giving him these affectionate or comical nicknames plays into the narrative.

I didn’t even mention Dominic Cummings’ Tour De Durham, the oven-ready Brexit deal, the A-level and GCSE catastrophe, the promise of a five-day Christmas jolly with your family, and I didn’t even mention the Russia Report. 

If only Jeremy Corbyn had this Johnson administration to battle, instead of one that was simply elected to deliver Brexit. He was eight points ahead of Theresa May’s shambolic government, before the smears and sabotage of 2018-19 got underway. 

I wonder how far ahead he could’ve been now? Labour’s poll boost has been delivered at the expense of real dissatisfaction with Johnson’s handling of the pandemic. 

It’s quite cute people think it’s down to pathetic Keith. 

You would be amazed at the calibre of people that have told me that Jeremy should’ve held on a bit longer. 

A politician with a radical agenda, one which will truly rebuild Britain post-Covid, post-Brexit and post-recession, would do rather well at the next election, don’t you think? 

When you get a chance, send me a list of the confirmed Starmer policies please. If not a list, just send me a few. 

He’s had nine months to offer a clear alternative, or as Starmer himself put it, to make the “moral case for socialism”. How’s that going?! He’s spent more time making the moral case for Boris Johnson. 

When the difficult questions were being asked of Johnson’s government, Starmer refused to ask any himself. 

When the government made screw up after screw up, Starmer would pop up on every news channel, parroting the phrase “we support the government”. 

From Johnson’s Brexit capitulation to sending children back to school to spread the deadly disease, twice, Starmer has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Prime Minister. 

Starmer was elected upon a false prospectus. A man that pretends to stand up for everyone, and stands up for absolutely nobody - apart from a few lobbyists - and he seems fine with failing to call out white supremacy, or failing to vote against torture, or ordering the suspensions of brilliant lefties, for the heinous crime of being a socialist.

Starmer is an ally of Johnson and an enemy of the left. What they say to each other in these private phone calls, and Starmer’s letters of support, is quite literally anyone’s guess. 

Starmer and Evans have suspended at least 50 CLP chairs and vice-chairs, for exercising their democratic right. 

Left-wing Jews have been suspended from the party without an adequate reason. 

The Labour Muslim Network issued a damning report into Islamophobia in the Labour Party, under his leadership. 

Thousands of BAME party members left in their droves because of the leadership's inability to deal with racism. 

The long-awaited independent Forde report is apparently a little bit too independent for his liking. Still waiting.

And all of the time Starmer has been orchestrating war against the left of the Labour Party, the Prime Minister has had a free licence to get away with murder. 

The purge of the Labour left has been prioritised before the health and wellbeing of the British people, and no matter how many flags you sit in front of, no matter how many times you tell us how much you love your country, you watch the Queens Christmas Day broadcast, and you always sing the national anthem, it still doesn’t make you patriotic. 

If you put division within your own ranks before the national interest, you’re not patriotic. You are weak, you have failed, you are pathetic. 

And that’s that. 

Take care everyone please.
