The vaccine

[Lencoboy]

Last seen getting a media bashing over his speech including 'vaccine nationalism' of the UK. Silent on the EU version of it though.

There has been speculation about the Piers Corbyn incident in central London earlier in the week becoming politicised, with the Labour party as a whole allegedly being scapegoated over it, and shunned again for the umpteenth time.

All because Piers is the brother of the much-maligned former leader Jezza, despite the former not being an MP nor having any direct relationship with politics.

Seriously, I really do wonder what planet some people are on these days.

Mmmm... our current PM has links to Piers Corbyn too;

Piers has made several attempts to join back into the Labour Party since he fell out with them, each time though the Labour Party told him to do one.

I do wonder as he was quite quiet during his brothers tenure, if JC did a deal that he kept quiet and would be let back in if JC ever became prime minister?

Piers is an intelligent man, providing you are discussing physics and astrophysics with him. His knowledge of human biology though appear to be somewhat lacking.

Which begs the question, why are the Tories still considered the lesser of the two evils, whilst many of their own respective MPs are hardly immune to scandals, but woe betide Labour (and no doubt the Lib Dems as well) over the slightest hint of any scandal, even if not directly involving the parties in question?

Surely there must be some kind of agenda at play here?

It really does seem that nowadays not only do people like to play the blame game all the time, but also the 'association game', and often 'inventing' problems that don't really exist.

Piers certainly looks as though he needs the vaccine asap.

Probably because we expect Tories to be rotten to the core?

Yes, and simply tolerate whatever they seem to do wrong but woe betide all other parties in opposition at the slightest hint of Chinese whispers!!

That's one of many reasons why misinformation/fake news urgently needs addressing, but sadly the powers that be almost always seem to end up giving into the anti-censorship brigades!

Dare I say it, even Labour themselves don't appear to take misinformation seriously enough IMO, and they in turn are probably just as guilty for pandering to the anti-censorship/free speech brigades.

There are plenty who still remember what Blair & Brown did, which still hangs over the Labour Party, it's a bad smell or the turd they can't flush away.

Whilst I agree that Blair and Brown did have their faults, many of the issues during their tenure were mostly of their time, and probably would have arose regardless of who was in power, but it does seem that virtually all Labour leaders since Blair have been labelled as 'bogeymen' in some form or another.

Let's face it, if Bozzer was to involve us in a third Iraq war next year and/or a second Global Financial Crisis was to occur under his watch, I bet you a tenner that there wouldn't be anywhere near the same extent of public outrage under him as there was under Blair and Brown.

Like I've already said before, had this pandemic occurred under Labour they would have been finished. Finito!!
