24 people died at this time last year. Today 178 people died. 7 time more people dying this year than last year does not represent an improvement, progress or is in any way a success. This government is killing us and doesn't care.

Water companies discharge sewage into rivers and the sea. They get fined, up to 90 million pounds. They just add the fines to customer bills and it gets worse every year. Don't fine the companies, fine the board members, get the fine paid in shares, make it hurt, it will work.

Got an email from a person who said he hacked my computer camera and recorded my sexual indiscretions. I had to pay in Bitcoin to avoid exposure. I am very old and my idea of porn is perfectly poached eggs on toast with black pepper. Also I have no camera. Felt flattered.

I have no nose, a radiotherapy swollen face that has had lumps of skin fallen off so I look like a 17th syphilitic rake or harlot and amazingly bad breath from the ulcers in my mouth but my wife says she would still marry me over Johnson any day of the week. And she hugged me.

BBC News - Coronavirus: Boris Johnson's return to work 'a boost for the country' Why? I personally don't feel uplifted in any way knowing that Bunter is back. More that 20,000 people have died. Probably double that number.

Johnson on the BBC trying to answer questions without a script. He really has no clue, until he gets to the demonstrations, then he goes the full Trump. I was puzzled when people voted for this man, now I am dumbfounded, did we not see what he was?

BBC News - General election 2019: Are Johnson and Corbyn the political odd couple? Oh dear. So people will vote on personalities, not policies? I disagree. Labour policies are about taking the country back for the many, and we want our country back.Simple
