There’s been a lot going on lately, since the last time I tried to transfer thoughts to words at least. At the end of July, Me and the Princess spent a few days camping out west, totally disconnected from the media. When we got home we discovered a horrific murder had lead to rioting around the country as the far right goose stepped into action. FFS can’t the country keep its shit together when my back is turned for four days?
The media loves to
play the blame game and the finger was pointed at Nigel “my one job is to split
the working class vote” rhymes with garage and the brazen con man Stephen
Yaxley-Lennon. As much as I may dislike
these grifters I think for once(?) they are convenient scapegoats. This right wing nonsense was fuelled by the
rantings of the nastier side of the Tory party; Patel, Braverman and De Pfeffel
to name just three. The former
government stirred up this shit in an attempt to disguise their own
incompetence and there is a relatively small yet surprisingly large percentage
of the population who can’t understand that the people telling them to blame
immigrants are the very people who are dry fucking them.
In a similar vein
the morons who went out smashing things and attacking innocent people are scum
and should absolutely be punished. But hang on a minute, it’s all a bit rushed
isn’t it? I mean, it seems a bit heavy handed to me, how are they getting this
done so quickly? If justice can be
dispensed this easily then why are the courts so backed up? People are literally waiting months if not
years for their day in court. Are the
sentences being handed out consistent with similar offences at other
times? Or to put it another way, are the
punishments fitting the crimes? On the
other hand perhaps the incarcerated rioter really do have their country back,
at least the one they deserve. It’s
madness to try to make sense of anything in an insane world said somebody
somewhere more than once. Probably.
