Far Queue symbol The French government is trying to make it illegal for people to film police officers assaulting members of the public in such a way that the police officer can be identified and held to account for a criminal assault. Looks like all them heads were chopped off in vain.

A staycation away from home @ Easter will cost around three times last year's price to create cash flow for the struggling hospitality industry. A stay@homecation is definitely something to consider.

bulletQ: What are the consequences of yelling for help when an elderly TV personality decides that his hire car's engine isn't making any noise?
bulletA: Endless derision after he's told it's an electric car and the engine is running okay.

bulletQ: Should there be a memorial in Britain for atrocities committed abroad?
bulletA: If there is no British connection, the memorial belongs where the atrocity/genocide occurred.

The Untied States of Fredonia has declared its 6 lunar landing sites to be space heritage zones and banned visitors to the Moon from going anywhere near where Apollos 11, 12 & 14-17 deposited their landers.
   Lacking any means of enforcement, this is seen as a rather pointless gesture and alien visitors will be able to claim a complete lack of 'Keep Off' signs in a language they knew.

update Further to previous comments about NS&I: The management wishes it to be known that NS&I has a robust exception policy ensuring it is able to meet the needs of its digitally Xcluded (Premium Bond prize-winning) customers.

reader comment“Nice to see that Germany is as ambivalent about the EbloodyU as we are. Germans in the EU management structure are jack-booting around, demanding we surrender vaccine produced here. Meanwhile, their newspapers are pointing out that the way that same management is handling the plague crisis proves that Brexit was a brilliant idea.” Shim Errman

bulletQ: Is anyone surprised that the HongKong & Shanghai Bank for Criminals is in the pocket of the Chinese regime in Peking as demonstrated by its freezing of bank accounts belonging to democracy campaigners in Honkers?
bulletA: Nope.

markerbullet The head of the world's biggest savings fund reckons that the Chinese plague has been a godsend to the global warming fraudsters. The need for virtue signalling, no matter how pointless, has never been greater and people seem to have lots of surplus cash to splash around.

reader comment“It must be hell, working in a small vaccination centre with 3 or 4 treatment stations. The smooth, easily cleaned walls reflect rather than absorb sounds, which just bounce around & around and fill the room with a cacophony of sheer bloody noise. The people who work here day after day actually are heroes.” Tawny Curtin

Far Queue symbol Predictably, the BBC is in trouble for claiming a dead IRA terrorist was a member of a legitimate military organization rather than a criminal gang.
   They just don't bloody get it.

Waste on a mega-scale
What will an inquiry into the government's handling of the Chinese plague epidemic achieve?
   It will push millions of pounds of taxpayer's money, which could be spent better elsewhere, into the pockets of lawyers, who will be trying to create a climate in which people will feel entitled to sue for compenbloodysation and shove even more cash into the pockets of the legal trade whilst impoverishing the taxpayer.
   The inquiry will drag on for 1-2 years, or even more, and eventually provide a string of recommendations, few of which will apply to the next national crisis, which will be something new & completely different.
reader comment“The compenbloodysation lawyers should be told: 'If you don't show clear & direct evidence of malice, fuck off, you parasite!' That's the only way to treat them.” Nibble Hodnut

bulletQ: Who should pay for vaccinating the population of The Planet against the Chinese plague?
bulletA: China. But they won't, you can be damn sure of that.

markerMixed message
The MP N. Dorries, currently minister for mental 'elf, has been accused of taking leave of her senses for telling the nation that it's rude to notice that fat people are fat and they are in danger of becoming an endangered species thanks to the Chinese plague, which targets o'besity.

markerNo end to the daftness
The latest work of fan fiction about a Fredonian president claims that D. Trump has been working for the Russians for the last 40 years. The next question is whether there will be a film or TV series of the book. Probably the latter, if cinemas have to remain closed to reduce the spread of the Chinese plague.
writer comment“The book invites us to believe that the Putinstanis and the FKPD are so useless that they let the Democraps swindle them out of another election victory for Mr. Trump last year. Which does actually have the ring of truth. But anyway, if the author of the book ends up in hospital being treated for a dose of novichok, we'll know who got the hump over his efforts.” L.G.R.

eyes The people who make a living out of chasing wildlife in Scotland, or study it as a hobby, are worried that climate change will drive their barn owls south to the more clement climes of northern England.

reader comment“Would anyone have done better than President Boris @ handling the Chinese plague? Certainly not O.J. Corbynstein or Sir Kreepy. Especially as they would have had to deal with the same wonky crew of Xperts and the numbskulls running the NHS and Public Health England. Not to mention being in charge of a nation of fat, old customers, who were easy prey for the Chinese nasty. And Boris did do us the enormous favour of getting us out of the EFU's shambolic vaccination programme.” R.W.

bulletQ: Is it a good idea to hand out tea and coffee to people waiting in a queue outdoors for a shot of a plague vaccine?
bulletA: Not if the queue is 3 hours long and there are no public toilets available.

reader comment“Vaccination was well organized here when I got my shot, even though I had to trail a couple of miles from backwater Romiley to Bredbury, the busy metropolis next door. I arrived 5 minutes before the appointment time, small queue in the car park but it wasn't raining, off home 10 minutes after the appointment time. No three-hour wait outdoors in the freezing cold. All very painless.” Otto Better

markerSideways admission
The Chinese government is telling its visiting WHO friends that the live animal market in Wuhan, now completely sterilized from top to bottom, wasn't the source of the current global pandemic.
   Which means what? That it's true after all that a strain of the coronavirus that the Chinese were working on in their bioweapons lab in Wuhan was allowed to escape through sloppy biosecurity?

Wee Burney MoanalotbulletQ: Are there no depths to which Wee Burney Sturgeon will not sink to ingratiate herself with the EFU's kommissars?

The Xperts reckon that knock-knock jokes are going Xtinct because snoflakes under the age of 30 can handle only pictorial gags and the spoken word has little impact on them, humourwise.

Stay at home A government 'Stay Home' plague message has been withdrawn from circulation after complaints about its highly objectionable content—images of females doing housework and caring for children.
   A mouthpiece for the monstrous regiment informed Sherri Scouse, our Society Xpert, that these are things no modern women do. It is now a crime against humanity to suggest that a woman should ever lift a finger to help out in a domestic setting. What are men for, anyway?
   President Boris is believed to have made a national apology video over the blunder but it was not released as too many people ended up rolling about on the floor, laughing like drains, at the previews.

Kerching! Organize a mass snowball fight for 200 people in a park in Leeds? Two Kerchings! of 10 grand, one apiece for the organizers. Plus anything else the participants can be done for, of course.

bulletA: Claim you're an internet influencer going on an essential working trip to provide sunny content for locked-in fans to motivate them and prevent them from becoming 'elf mental cases. The police can't touch you

markerInvestigation Questions
Is a high death toll from the Chinese plague due to Britain's broken care system? Or is it due to people in Britain alone surviving to a great age, where they are particularly vulnerable to a coronavirus, as opposed to croaking at a much earlier age on the Europeon mainland?
   Is it due to people having the freedom and wealth to make themselves o'bese and more vulnerable to a coronavirus?
   Is it due to people not looking after their parents themselves and shipping them off to one of God's waiting rooms for their final years?
   Not alternatives that the not-so-great and the not-so-good and the looney left will want to hear when the legal trade feeding frenzy of the Grand Plague Inquisition opens.

Scary CarriebulletQ: Should we believe Sam Cam when she claims that Scary Carrie doesn't think she's the Boss of the Universe and that President Boris is her mere acolyte or accessory?

first class stampreader comment“What is lacking in the world today? True grit. What do we have instead? Snoflakes whose instinct, on encountering adversity, is to quit, give up, blame someone else and demand compenbloodysation. No wonder The Planet can't wait for them to go Xtinct.” L.B.W. Johnson

In France, Pres. MacRon is no longer following the science (if he ever did) over plague rules. With an election looming next year, he's now doing what he thinks will keep him in touch with his deadly rival, Marine Le Pen, in the opinion polls.
   Currently, he is lagging behind Le Pen and the fall-out from the Chinese plague is destroying any chance of his being able to boast that he has been good for the French economy despite all the strikes and the Yellow Vest Pests and farmers & fisherfolk on the rampage.
   Which explains why he has been trying to pick fights with the old enemy across the water—the UK—and rubbishing the Oxford vaccine. Surprise! The French pharma outfit which was supposed to save Europe with its vaccine doesn't have something that works yet.

marker Is it institutional or structural rachelism for non-white people to say they're not going to have the plague vaccine because it was invented in countries where the majority of the population is white and it was tested mainly on white people so it might not work on them?

update Baroness von Leyen, the EFU Commission president, wishes it to be know that her remark that Brexit Britain is like a speedboat when it comes to getting vaccines for the Chinese plague and the EFU behaves like a clunky old tanker with wonky steering was NOT for public consumption.

   Thus the problem will not be solved and people will continue to chuck bricks at all the posturing Aunt Sallys because they can. And the only way to avoid abuse will be to resist the urge to get on an internet soap box.
   It is a fact that no matter what you say, no matter how well-intentioned and virtuous, some evil bastard will take the hump at it and let fly with a brick.

   The QAnon cult believes that their country is run by a gang of paedophile killers like the one promoted by the disgraced MP T. Watson as well as senior members of the Britisch police and the Can't Prosecute Service.
   Here, the cult's crimes have been exposed by the High Court judge Sir R. Henriques but still the cultists flourish, having trashing the good names of prominent people without suffering the consequences of their crimes.
   Indeed, they prosper. Peerages, top jobs in the public sector & endless perks are on offer to the cult members and the government continues to turn a blind eye to their activities.

Perseverance rover landingTwo Yards To Ground Level!
NASA's latest Mars rover Perseverance has started to earn its keep by sending home images of the Red Planet. The descent from orbit was described as 'seven minutes of terror' for the mission crew back on Earth at the end of the rover's 7-month interplanetary journey.
   A heat-shield offered protection until a massive parachute was deployed. Then a jetpack 'sky-crane' with 8 engines lowered the rover to a soft landing before zooming off to a safe distance for its own landing. The picture was taken by the jetpack when the rover was 2 metres above the Martian surface.
   The rover, in Jezero Crater just north of the planet's equator, has started a 2-year mission to look for evidence of life that might have existed in a water lake. That mission could go on for a decade or more if the rover works as well as Spirit and Opportunity. No rest for the wicked!
