20th October
Up early and watched a Kay Burleigh interview with the Transport Secretary. Burleigh was outside Downing Street in the rain. She looks better in daylight than under studio lights. Those lights give her face a kind of half human Vulcan look. The plastic surgery I expect. The interview was a roasting and Burleigh was excellent.
Raining.
As usual got soaked taking the dog out for walk. The dog’s sudden liking for long walks goes undiminished. I’m sure it’s a sign of something.
There was a car sitting in the field on the bad bend in the road as I was heading to work. I thought of stopping, but too wet, if they’re dead they’re dead. There are always cars taking the bend too quickly and ending up in the field. And generally, since it’s early and I’m grumpy, lots of cars simply drive too quickly along that country road. No sign these days of the police with their speed cameras. Knew that would not last.
Chinese consulate in Manchester, dragging a protestor into the grounds of the building and beating him up. Would have been worse if police had not intervened. The government told them not to be naughty. I expect the poor copper who saved the situation was probably reprimanded.
On the way home I had Radio 4 news on and it mentioned that the podium and microphones were being set up outside 10 Downing Street.
Just got home in time to see her resign.
The lettuce has won.
She is officially the shortest (I don’t mean height wise) reigning PM ever. Quite sad really to see someone so out of their depth. And bad for the country. Nationalst MP interviewed and battered on about independence again. Yawn.
MP for Dudley, red wall seat was interviewed. He is mad. Said his constituents wanted Johnston back. That he was the only one who had a mandate from the British people. Thank god all Tories are not like the MP for Dudley. Fucking off his trolley. Even had me thinking I would vote for independence were they all like that. He will be out at the next national election.
Boris Johnston reputed to be throwing his hat into leadership contest.
I wonder who reputed these things? Times journalist being interviewed and jabbering on about this. A Times exclusive obviously.
We’re Johnston to return I really do think there would be violence
Is there an application form to join Extinction Rebellion or do you just turn up with a tube of super glue.
Still raining.
Dog wants another walk.
