I'm going to have a little rant now, so buckle up.

I won't reiterate my earlier posts, explaining why I can be barely bothered with even "thoughts and prayers" for the architects of our misery. I'll try a different tack.

I've voted Tory all my life, even in 2016. I live in Mad Nad's constituency, and because our system is not fit for purpose, even devouring a live baby on TV wouldn't see her replaced with a different-coloured rosette.

But I voted that way out of habit.

But in 2016, we saw the old Tory party, with its "steady hand" and smug banal platitudes, murdered, and its skin worn as a suit by a bunch of incompetent sociopaths. Because the average voter in the UK remains hugely tribal, they used 43% of the 2019 vote to get an 80 seat maj.

The "face" of that palace coup was Johnson. Out of his overweening insecurity, childishness, and ambition, he destroyed decades of work to make the UK secure in the partnership of the EU.

This cost me, and countless thousands others, good jobs.

But we must be nice to him!

His lies cost 67m Brits their freedom of movement. It crippled their futures. He made us all poorer. It made us weaker. It made the UK irrelevant. It took me months to find another job and cost me personally thousands in lost income.

But we must be nice to him!

Incidentally, it threw 2m Brits and 3m EU citizens to the wolves- including my wife and sister. Johnson's junta has condescended to allow them to continue to live here and pay taxes, even though they'll not be allowed to vote.

But we must be nice to him!

His band of egocentric, privileged mediocrities were rewarded with fine titles and contracts. Oversight was suspended. The Russia Report suppressed. Parliament prorogued. Democracy fatally damaged.

But we must be nice to him!

Covid19 has revealed his lazy foolishness in a way that will cost countless lives. Every day's death count is as high as a WW2 bombing raid. Every day we are strung along that the ventilators are coming "tomorrow".

Its like deceiving small children.

But we must be nice to him!

His chief advisor is a lightweight with zero moral compass. His eugenic credentials are there to F*CKING DOWNLOAD. He literally wants certain portions of the UK population to simply die. So they went with a half-baked "herd immunity" policy.

But we must be nice to him!

His Health Secretary is an imbecile who is utterly discredited by WHO guidance, and who has a financial interest in the gutting and sale of the NHS. He's also spreading Covid19, by the way. Johnson lets him.

But we must be nice to him!

So, if I see one more Tweet telling me I must be nice to him, after all this, having cost uncountable treasure and suffering, and ruining millions of lives, I will not be nice to him.

He's robbed me of all my fucks to give.

And a special shout out to the Lib Dems (of which I am a member).

The Army teaches of a "will to win". The Tories have it. It's corrupt, grotesque, and a perversion of the meaning, but they have it IN SPADES.

Without that "will to win", you will forever be the nicest losers.

So if you could just stop telling me "but we must be nice to him", that'd be great.

He's a disgrace to the post and a fool. He's also an adult, and simply one of tens of thousands worthy of our thoughts and prayers. He will get an appropriate fraction of mine.

I'm an atheist.

PS MASSIVELY PLEASED by @UKLabour picking a competent leader. This has the makings of a decent opposition, and Inshallah, a decent government sooner or later. @Keir_Starmer has the WILL TO WIN.
