It was bound to happen: about two weeks ago I caught the common~ or garden~lurgi which was making the rounds. We all know, it takes two weeks to get rid off, or 14 days if you see your GP. During these days I didn’t, couldn’t, read or write but some headlines of current events did catch my attention anyway. These ‘events’ still engage the usual suspects in our lovely MSM. I’m sure the Tory footfolk were engaged in telling the TV footfolk yesterday what to think or make of it.

I wonder though if anyone saw the parallels between the ‘Affaire Djokovic’ and the ‘Booze Parties at No 10’. No, I’m not suffering from post-illness brain fog. I suggest that, having been forced to ‘abstain’ from the daily hysterics our MSM love to generate, I might have gained a clearer view. Let me explain …

Both ‘events’ have been made to look to be about ‘covid rules’ and about ‘the privileged’ feeling entitled to break them while we peasants, here or in Australia, were forced to obey. They permitted us plebs to be angry and to let off steam. In this way we didn’t ask if those ‘rules’ were sensible nor why they were there in the first place. Having been permitted to rail and fume we didn’t ask if, for the sake of the sacred covid rules, it was acceptable to trample all over our civic liberties. Instead we are made to feel very superior to the No 10 boozers and to that tennis celebrity. We are made to feel virtuous by insisting that all follow ‘teh rulz’. 

Here’s one of the odd things: there was no comparative outcry in the media about the ‘rule breakers’ at the G7 summit in June last years. There was no outcry in the MSM about the ‘rule breakers’ at COP26. Can you remember if anyone asked about the ‘covid status’ of the likes of Bezos jetting in? 

Similarly, isn’t it remarkable that our intrepid meejah are incapable of finding out anything about booze parties not just by Labour politicians but far more so by ‘Newsroom and Meejah Workers’ in their offices? Did none of the ‘journalists’ in ITV, SKY, the BBC, in the Times, Telegraph, Mail and the rest have office parties in the last two years? Really?

Asking this is not whataboutery – it’s rather me wondering why those sitting in the glass houses that are political party offices or MSM newsrooms believe they should be able to get away with their transgressions because they aren’t, after all, the government … But why is  nothing being made of that Welsh tinpot dictator dancing without mask and stuff in November last year (link)? “Wrong timing” – or perhaps because it would been racist, seeing that they were celebrating Diwali? 

Here’s another question: why are our MSM in such a sanctimonious uproar about these booze parties which took place in 2020 and 2021? Did they really not know? Did the Westminster Village gossipers not talk about this amongst themselves? Was it just piety which made them refrain to mention ‘a party’ a day before Prince Philip’s funeral at that time? Why are these ‘parties’ important now?

Moreover, why are the Westminster denizens, especially in the MSM, not asking if the No 10 covid rulers were happy to disregard their rules? Did they know these rules were useless, superfluous, irrelevant? Isn’t it outrageous that the covid emperors are only now talking about perhaps scrapping covid passports and the rest of their restrictions when the ‘No 10 Parties’ showed that, actually, there is and was no danger? Do we really believe that being ‘in government’ makes certain people immune? 

I believe the uproars about ‘rule breakers’,  in No 10 and by that tennis star, have been fuelled and manufactured not just in order to allow us t let off steam but in order to make us agree that these rules were justified and must be obeyed by all, or else.

Trampling over their own justitiary, as the Aussie government did, has thus become acceptable. After all, when their PM says that Djokovic’s presence in the bubble that is tha Australian Open is a danger to the health of all of Australia, it’s evident that it’s no longer about ‘following the science’ but about enforcing ‘rules’ which are no longer supported by ‘teh science’, abandoning the Rule of Law. What chance does an ordinary Aussie have when their PM can declare someone to be ‘a danger to the nation’s health’? 

It’s not just in Oz where the covid rulers are bending their own laws to suit their political agenda. In Germany, the new Bundestag has decided that all unjabbed MPs can no longer sit in the chamber but can only ‘follow proceedings’ from the visitors’ stands (paywalled link, in German). Never mind their own covid law, the ‘3 G’ rule according to which you’ve got to show that you’re either jabbed, or have had covid or are tested -ve that day! Who needs rules when it’s about banning the hated AfD from participating.

Also interesting is this question: why is the the instigator of that most heinous ‘BYOB invitation’ barely mentioned? Is it because he’s a civil serpent (see e.g. this link)? Are the mandarins trying to protect one of their own? Also, isn’t it strange that suddenly our MSM have hardly got space to report about ‘Our Overwhelmed NHS’ and about covid deaths just at the time when it looks as if those covid restrictions might be scrapped? 

Is the aim of all this brouhaha, from Djokovic to Johnson and No 10 not really about ‘punishing’ rule breakers but about making us peasants cling to those rules rather than questioning their validity? Is it about making us accept that ‘rulz’ will stay, if perhaps in a more lenient form? Is the removal of Johnson only a secondary albeit welcome consideration? Are the faceless covid tsars hoping to get Starmer into No 10 because Labour has shown itself to be the ‘Party of Rule Enforcers’, like the German equivalent which is now governing Germany? 

And finally – why is all the green stuff, the ‘energy costs’ and rise in cost-of-living, not newsworthy any longer? Do the green ecofanatics believe that they can take over, using the Nudge Unit, to better enforce their policies, with Starmer at the helm? After all, it was their own Milipede, a.k.a. Ed Miliband, who created the ‘green levy’ on our home energy bills. 

Therefore I regard the meejah uproar about the No 10 ‘parties’ – as if no one in Westminster had parties during those times! – and the ‘Djokovic Rule-Breaker’ as a concerted effort to prevent us from asking if these rules were justified in the first place and as an attempt to soften us up for a regime change, with Starmer to be the ‘golden boy’ to drive us deeper into the quagmire of ‘rulz’, accompanied by further losses of our liberties.

Have we truly become a nation of ‘rule takers’ because we’ve become too lazy to think and ask questions?
