Not just a ‘power behind the throne but the real PM?

 

There were times when a scientific and technological success, unrelated to covid, was front-page news. Sadly, this is no longer so. The landing of a new NASA Mars robot has been shunted down the front pages – not just because of “Royal News” but also, of course, because of covid. While I’m not going to mention ‘court news’ from Buckingham Palace, I will look at the ‘court news’ from No 10 because these have more impact on our country. 

Firstly, in covid ‘news’ you’ll be pleased to hear (nah, not really) that the covid government again reiterated that ‘nobody has plans to introduce covid~ or immunisation passport for such things as going to pubs. That always reminds me of a now long dead dictator of the former communist East Germany who told the world that nobody had the intention of building a wall. Two months after that pronouncement, the infamous wall between East and West Germany went up.

Might the report on ‘covid passports’ by experts from the Royal Society have an impact? They’ve looked at the feasibility of such ‘passports’, making these points:

“The Royal Society report said that passports would need to be internationally standardised, have verifiable credentials and have defined uses. They should meet benchmarks for Covid-19 immunity and accommodate differences between vaccines in terms of efficacy and any changes to efficacy against emerging variants. As well as meeting ethical and legal standards, they would also need to meet technical requirements to allow different systems to work together, be secure for personal data, be portable, and affordable.” (link, paywalled)

Interesting, isn’t it, how these arguments illustrate yet again that the scientific covid establishment still lacks basic knowledge on covid but is happily supporting the lockdown and mass vaccination policies, even unto Whitty allegedly being ‘unhappy’ about the alleged BJ plans to get pupils back to school next month. There’s one intriguing observation by one of those scientists involved. Professor Melinda Mills of the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science at Oxford University said:

“The intended use will have significant implications across a wide range of legal and ethical issues that need to be fully explored and could inadvertently discriminate or exacerbate existing inequalities.” (link, paywalled)

Is it too much to hope that, by using those lefty expressions of ‘discrimination’ and ‘exacerbating existing inequalitties’, some of our ‘social justice warriors’ might demand to scrap the whole thing? I do have my doubts, given the involvement of that T.Blair person – but we certainly can slap these point round vaccine passport fanatics. It might also just occur to someone that, should those ‘covid benchmarks’ become clear, especially the one about covid immunity, the whole thing might be scrapped. I’m not holding my breath though because too much ‘effort’ and money has been spent on tests, vaccines and covid propaganda generally.

And so to the reports from the ’Court of Princess Nut-Nuts’, formerly known as No 10. We recall that Frosty became Cabinet minister for Brexit a few days ago, amidst rumours that he told BJ he’d leave No 10. We also recall that, after Cummings had been made to walk the plank, not least thanks to Carrie’s ‘friends in the MSM’, a clear-out of his allies took place.

The chief of staff is now a civil serpent, Dan Rosenfield, but Carrie clearly needed more ‘allies’, so two of her friends were installed: Baroness Finn as deputy chief of staff and Henry Newman as a senior adviser in No 10. The MSM have made much of the fact that they are allies of Michael Gove as well as of Ms Symonds, the ‘PM’s fiancée’. Is that now a job title, one wonders …

I’m leaving aside the gossip about Frosty threatening to leave No 10 altogether. Not having ‘sources’, never mind ‘senior sources’ in No 10 (no, the chief Mouser hasn’t got me on his speed-dial, sigh) I have to rely on our wonderful MSM where this ‘court story’ is spun further because another Frosty colleague and Cummings ‘ally’ bit the dust:

“Yesterday Oliver Lewis, Frost’s deputy in the Brexit negotiations and an ally of Dominic Cummings, left the building. He had just been handed a new job devising a strategy to help save the Union but went after being blamed by Symonds and her allies for leaks suggesting that Gove had been deliberately sidelined by Johnson. An ally of Lewis said: “On Thursday the prime minister bollocked Oliver [for leaking], so he reached the conclusion that Carrie was in charge now and the prime minister wasn’t going to have his back any more. It’s a complete Carrie takeover.” (link, paywalled)

There’s no evidence of Mr Lewis actually having ‘briefed against Gove’. There can’t be because the No 10 court reporters in our MSM wouldn’t be so stupid and reveal their ‘sources’. They also don’t tell us who those anti-Gove briefers actually were. More ‘court’ gossip:

“Lewis tendered his resignation in a meeting with Johnson yesterday and said that his position had been made “untenable”. Despite Lewis’s recent elevation, he had also, sources claim, been in the crosshairs of Dan Rosenfield, the prime minister’s new chief of staff, who questioned whether a civil servant would be better suited to the task of keeping Scotland in the Union. “Dan has wanted to get rid of Oliver too but it’s all coming from the same place,” the source said. “It’s a complete clearout of anyone associated with Dom [Cummings].” (link, paywalled)

I think that Whitehall mandarins in the form of Mr Rosenfield might well have pulled Carrie’s strings in order to install more civil serpents in No 10, perhaps for this reason:

“[Lewis] advised the prime minister to set up a cabinet committee for the Union modelled along the lines of the Brexit committees that had managed the final stages of the negotiations with officials from the European Union, and which are seen as having been a success at the top of Whitehall.” (link, paywalled)

Be that as it may, for fairness’ sake we really must let ‘Carrie’s allies’ have their say as well:

“Defenders of Symonds have repeatedly pointed out that not only is it normal for a prime minister to seek counsel from their spouse, but as a former director of communications for the Conservative Party and special adviser to cabinet ministers, she is qualified to offer her perspective.” (link, paywalled)

Crikey – that’s a nice hole those Carrie-Allies have dug for her and for themselves. She’s not – yet – ‘the spouse’, nor is ‘giving counsel’ as spouse the same as interfering in the PM’s personnel decisions. She is not on the No10 payroll as SpAd and can thus not be sacked and above all she’s not been elected. But it’s she who wields the knives. To really muddy the waters there’s also this:

“Insiders suggested Mr Lewis had clashed with Mr Gove on how the Government should approach the Union, and felt boxed in by his supporters in Downing Street.” (paywalled link)

So did the snake-in-the-grass have something to do with Mr Lewis leaving? Is Gove manipulating Carrie in his endeavour to cut the ground from under BJ’s feet by getting rid of all those advisers allegedly close to Cummings? Is he hiding behind Princess NutNuts in order to keep his hands officially clean? Clearly, it’s no longer about politics and important political affairs – it’s a rather tawdry ‘court drama’.

But why would we care anyway, given the covid madness reigning in No 10? Because this whole trashy affair demonstrates again that BJ only does what the latest person he speaks to tells him to do. It shows us yet again that BJ is unsuitable as PM. Yes, there’s his past record as Mayor of London, where he surrounded himself with capable advisers. But that was ‘BC’ – Before Carrie.

Ah well, perhaps it’s all because of Carrie’s dog. After all, didn’t BJ shout that someone ought to ‘shoot that dog’ because he’d chewed antique furniture at Chequers (link)? An earlier misdemeanour of said dog involved another Cummings ‘ally’, now departed. He peed over that lady’s bag which she’d put down on the grass in No10’s garden (link).

Dogs will be dogs, even in No 10. Terriers are known to mark items in ‘their’ territory and all dogs of Dilyn’s age chew everything in sight because their 2nd teeth need to settle in. This confirms my opinion that Princes NutNuts is unsuitable as ‘adviser’ to her ‘spouse’ because she clearly isn’t suitable to have a dog, not training him properly. Well, that’s what happens when dog owners spend too much time on their smartphones …

I leave you with a further example of the knavishness of Hancock. Resigning is not for him. Lockdown Sceptics, referring to a BBC article, reports this morning: “Yesterday a court ruled that Matt Hancock acted unlawfully when his department failed to publish details of COVID-19 related contracts worth billions of pounds.” (link). Read the whole thing. An honourable man would now resign.

In closing I’ll just point out that it’s, ahem, interesting that this case was about procurement, about money spent. We have yet to see anything about the unlawfulness of the continuing lockdowns, of the closing down our society, of turning us into a dictatorship run for the sake of ‘Our Sacred Cow’. The courts and the judges don’t seem keen to pursue those issues – one wonders why … they surely can’t be allies of Princess NutNuts?

 

KBO!
