 Well! The head shaking (in disbelief) is getting a bit tedious now. There's a lot to highlight at the moment but take the last 24 hours.

Yesterday Boris the Clot was in Bury telling us all how Conservative councils fill in pot holes 4 times faster than any previous government. That's the sort of announcement we all needed at a time when households are being driven deeper into poverty. People can't afford to feed their kids, they can't afford to heat their homes and, if they have a job, they can't afford to drive to work. But, as long as the pot holes are filled in at a record rate.... (I am sure someone will be feverishly fact checking that piece of nonsense right now).

And moving on to today, we have the idiot Heapey talking like a stupid person, saying it is fine if Ukraine wants to use weapons supplied by UK to hit targets within Russia. Prat!

And we have news that Boris is proposing a move to put kids at risk by reducing/relaxing/abolishing (who knows which?) Health & Safety rules governing child care. Nice one you muppet!

At the same time, he is threatening to privatise the Passport Office because they are overwhelmed with renewal applications. I don't suppose he has thought of looking at the monster in charge of that? Clue: the first name beings with a P and the surname begins with a P. No! It is not Peppa Pig! More on that moron in the next post...

And we thought Trump was a dip stick!

I suppose it is disappointing that the person elected to replace Trump has turned out to be something worse. (Be careful what you wish for?)

I have watched and listened to Biden's procession through the US Presidential office, via the media, since he came to office and it has gradually dawned on me the man is so similar to Trump, one could be forgiven for confusing the pair. I used to think the difference was in the way each handled their corruption, double dealing etc, with Biden being slightly more adept at the ducking and diving skills. Now I am not so sure.

So, what has got my attention this morning, causing me to put fingers to keyboard? I have just learned (a bit of 'old' news) that Biden has directed that $7 billion of frozen Afghan funds be unfrozen and to be split two ways: half to go towards providing humanitarian aid to the people of Afghanistan. Isn't that big of him? He will take half of the Afghan people's own money and let them have it back, somehow, some day, in what will no doubt be trumpeted as a sign of America's largesse; "US providing $3 billion to ease the plight of the poor and starving people of Afghanistan". I have absolutely no doubt we will not see a headline like "US returns $3billion of the Afghan people's own money".

And what of the other 50% of the frozen funds? He is going to use that to compensate victims of the 9/11 attack. What did the Afghan people have to do with that attack? I thought it long established that the perpetrators of that attack were Saudis. Quite a number of those were from an area called Al Baha. When I was last in Al Baha in 2013, the place was known for the amount of police deployed around the city with road blocks, ID checks etc. The reason for this, according to locals, was down to fears the 9/11 perpetrators from the region might still have sympathetic mates in the area. And, at that time, the city and province of Al Baha was well and truly within Saudi Arabia.To the west of the country and south of Jeddah in fact. So why are impoverished citizens of Afghanistan being made to pay for 9/11? How much has Saudi Arabia paid and when? And are we to expect to see the families of the 9/11 victims receiving more than $1 million each? I very much doubt it. There will be deductions for lawyers, politicians and various other assorted pariahs before they see any of it. And still, the source of the money is cash stolen from the Afghan people. While the Saudis get away with it.

Returning briefly to Sleepy Joe, let's have a closer look at him. In the next outpouring of despair, dismay and disgust...
