Openly obsessed oaf...

"The government is running out of time to stop messing up". "I would dearly love to see Boris grip this mess and turn things around. The time to do it is not much longer." writes UK Member of Parliament Steve Baker, Count the Cost in The Critic. 

I disagree, BoJo the Clown has botched too much. Brexit (almost) is all he has to his name. The rest of the high-tax, open border, green zealotry and lockdown/ mask domestic terrorism is a few bridges too far for me. Steve Baker almost gets there too because before the final sentence posted above he writes: 

It is long past time to finally, openly and honestly count the cost of lockdowns and restrictions and vote no to all these measures. That is the only way to get off this road to the hell of minute and ever changing restrictions on our lives on which the Government has embarked.

And btw, I don't give a toss about the parties they had, it is just further proof that that they don't believe this shit either. 

Why Plan B? And Gove pushing for Plan C?! Show us the data! Well they don't because showing the data makes them look even more like politico-pharma tyrannical misfits. That link, written by 'a senior executive in a pharmaceutical company' ends with a great quote (one of many*) from Spanish philosopher Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás (George Santayana to his mates)

Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.

* A couple more as that Wiki page just reminded me: the omni-quoted "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" and the sad truth about the human race:

"Only the dead have seen the end of war" 

(the latter from Soliloquies in England and Later Soliloquies, readable online [LINK] at The Project Gutenberg eBook).
