 UK UNTIES FOR FESTERING SEASON 

Sage, Edict, Rage

 WEEK 1      “Ye cannie hug yer grannie—or can ye?”

 
Captain Covid

Knee of GraceCutting own throat
The BBC's drive for the Yoof market is shedding grown-up viewers, who are increasingly finding the range of programmes on offer uninteresting. Worse, they think news programmes are no longer impartial and there's too much focus on London. Al Jazeera is becoming a first port of call for a look at what's going on in the world.

markerTotally Ungruntled
Over two-thirds of current university graduates think life is unfair and the world is out to get them; mostly because they have been turned into lefty wonks with a sense of entitlement as big as all outdoors. Less educated contemporaries tend to have a more pragmatic view of life.

bullet We don't seem to be getting any Xtreme weather and snow in Romiley. Ta for that, Weather Control.

markerAlarm Call
Environmental confecters are pretending that UK-sourced bugs of the sort normally fed to zoo animals become a Threat to the Health of the Nation if they are used to torture competitors during a TV reality show.

bullet Short-life electronic products from Apple, etc., which are designed to be unrepairable, are causing a landfill crisis.

reader comment“How come Lord 'Two Labs' Prescott hasn't come up with a vaccine?” E.R.

marker Anyone thinking of visiting Scotland today might want to think again. An Icelandic Shiver with temperatures down to -11 deg.C is on offer north of the border, the forecasters reckon.

Lame duck President Bidetreader comment“Someone needs to remind Mr. Bidet that Brexit is nothing to do with him. Perhaps to the point of sending a task force to his gopher hole to slap him round the back of the head in the manner of Special Agent Gibbs of NCIS.” Perino Marascino
updateGuess who the joke’s on now
Joke Bidet is a physical as well as a metaphorical lame duck! He broke his foot playing with the DOTUS**. His hound proved to be too robust for a 78-year-old to handle.
[**Dog Of The United States, what the incoming President Of The United States calls his pet, for the sake of anyone who hasn't been paying attention. Ed.]

reader comment“We hear all about the plastic explosive C4. There's never anything about C5 or later numbers. Do we assume from that that C4 is the Ultimate Xplosive and it's not worth trying to do better?” G.L.

markerActual History
We hear occasional bursts about a return to the Moon in 2024. What needs to be understood is that 'We' didn't go to the Moon 50 or so years ago.
   The US government sent some astronauts there to prove to the world that their space programme was the bee's knees and when it came to the crunch, the Soviet one couldn't deliver.
   And when the US public lost interest, the trips to the Moon ended prematurely so that the money could be wasted on what turned out to be a pointless war in south-east Asia.

eyes Official: Most of the officers & staff of Police Scotland conduct themselves in line with P.S. values for fairness, respect & integrity. And P.S. has more than enough public cash available to pay lawyers to crush complaints about misconduct & bullying by the rotten apples. And also the people making the complaints.

The MuggermarkerThe Mugger’s Legacy Endangered
The Chinese plague slump and its aftermath are expected to be worse than the Brown Slump of 2008 and its faftermath, the teenage Chancellor has warned.
   The entire Labour party is united in uproar at this threat to the place in the record books of their best attempt to destroy the British economy.
[We don't have a trite comment from the architect of the Brown Slump to relay as we don't have Gordon F. Broon's phone number. Ed.]

bullet OFFICIAL: The Office of Budget Responsibility has admitted that future events may turn its forecasts of a collapse and permanent scarring of the economy into worthless nonsense and there might be no reason to panic after all. Or there might be reason to panic even more.
Translation: The forecasts might, or might not, be bollocks.

tick symbol This year's Black Friday has been renamed Plague Friday in view of the amount of super spreading perfomed by bargain hunters.

bulletQ: How do Labour and other non-governmental parties avoid getting the blame for supporting a government policy they agree with?
bulletA: Abstaining if they have no constructive alternative does the trick.

markerAttention All Pensioners: Don't expect a rise in income next April. Stockport council will steal all of it, and probably more, with higher Council Tax.

Knee of GraceNuttier than a coconut
Discarded Chancellor 10-Jobs Georgie Osborne wanted to make the Boy Beckham a lord so he could become the Minister of Sport?
   If that's true, we are indeed well rid of Boy George!

bulletQ: How do you catch an unlicencensed, uninsured teenager on a motorbike that can do 180 mph?
bulletA: Chase him across 3 counties and nail him when he stops for more petrol.

markerNot us, Gov!
If there are delays in distributing a vaccine for the Chinese plague, the world's governments have a ready-made alibi—a claim that criminal gangs have hijacked supplies of the vital medicine.

reader comment“There's never going to be democracy in China as scrutiny and accountability get in the way of the guys in Peking helping themselves to anything that takes their fancy.” O.L.

bulletQ: How long does it take The Complaints in Scotland to investigate the shooting by police officers of a crazed asylum seeker, who stabbed 6 people in a Glasgow hotel?
bulletA: Five months. That's just gathering the evidence; on which the Crown Office is currently sitting.

markerDouble Festering in ’21?
There is a move afoot to postpone this year's Festering Season until after the national vaccination programme is well advanced and have this year's Xmas in July 2021.

bullet The widow of American crisp billionaire J. McCain could become the next US ambassador to the UK.

markerLet the punishment really fit the crime
The US Justice Department is to vary the nation's protocols on imposing the death penalty and allow each state to choose its own method of writing off bad guys (and gals). We are now waiting to find out if any state will have the guts to sentence terrorists to be run over by 6 steam rollers.

bonehead The Foreign Sec., D. Raab, has confirmed that the UK will continue to pay for the Chinese space programme as long as the Chinese pretend that the overseas aid from British taxpayers is going on global warming swindles. The same applies to the Indian space programme.
   Mr. Raab was unable to offer a convincing explanation of why Britain (broke) is sending cash to China, the country which sent us the plague that made us broke.

markerWeight is for chucking around, right?
There is no scientific reason, the Xperts say, for banning Xmas trees & their baubles, Xmas decorations and Xmas cards as they are not likely to be plague infection hazards. But the Boris Bah-Humbug Bastards would like them banned anyway.

markerRampant data abuse
Local councils are harvesting vast amounts of data about their residents by sticking the plague badge on the process. They are doing it to be able to predict who is likely to ignore plague regulations for one reason or another; not that they will admit it.
   Civil liberties Xperts fear that police forces will soon demand access to the processed data to make generating income from fines cheaper and easier.
   The councils are claiming that they are using the data to predict who will need support. This alibi is being met with universal scepticism.

bullet The BBC is cutting costs by firing as many as possible of its male presenters as the fallout is less than that associated with terminating females. No one cares about the blokes, especially if they're getting on a bit.
reader comment“Can't wait for them to get to gary bloody lineker.” K.W.

Chunky Chicken & Covid Soup???
reader comment“If chicken soup is the ultimate cure for all ills, maybe they should find some way of passing on a dose of the plague vaccine in a bowl of nutritious chicken soup.” D.M.
reader comment“What about Chilli con Covid? Viruses don't like high temperatures, we are told. Sounds like a shot of vaccine in a bowl of red-hot chilli would be a great way of getting ahead of the game!” P.L.

Cabinet Office Minister M. Gove has been placed alongside President Boris in the Looney Bin section especially for those confecting panic based on dodgy data. Or no data at all.
   Both have the lawyerly capacity to come up with a façade of legitimacy for the indefensible and they should get on okay in their adjacent bins in the straightjacket section of their confinement unit.

Because they've had more than enough time to get organized and adjust to the new business conditions.” A.L.M.

writer comment“George Orwell's concept of doublethink seems to be the new normal. We've been bombarded with Xmas offers and messages urging us to get ready for the Festering Season for a month already. But we're not supposed to be having Xmas, according to the Boris Bah-Humbug Buggers.
   “Something else; people were putting out their christmas lights on their houses @ the start of last month's lockdown. Are we supposed to believe that the lights were a celebration of locko in November and a celebration of the end of it in December? Nothing makes sense any more.” L.G.R.

markerMoving goalposts
A lawyer (who else?) has come up with a scheme for messing about with the Scottish legal system, which currently has 3 verdicts on offer; guilty, not guilty & not proven.
   He wants to abolish all the nonsense about guilt & innocence and settle for just proven and not proven, opening the way for people who are guilty walking if the case against them is not proven and innocent people ending up in gaol if Police Scotland and the legal trade do a good job of stitching them up.
