Coffee Moaning and it is Wednesday already. I'm just looking at their YouTube page and they still have a message to donate to Young Minds UK. I thought that was just a quiz night thing.
Title today is "Government LYING About Xmas Party? Ministers Ditch Media Appearences. What's Next?" Faith is pissed off with the government, wants Boris out, but knows he is Teflon. Nicola says she won't stay long, as she has to walk her dog. Sandra wants Boris to resign. Morning, morning, morning, morning, morning.
"Good morning, Happy Vlogmas, Happy, Happy Christmas" says Nadia. Newbie spiel about easing into the news. Talk about being astonished and in disbelief "about this party thing." Roll call but before that, Nadia asks if anyone has seen the film of Allegra Stratton, Boris' media spokesperson. Nadia goes on her phone whilst Mark does the roll call.
I have to say that the botox is very noticeable today. I keep staring at it and that forehead is not moving. So there was a media film from a year ago done by this Stratton chick and Nadia says unbelievable and she manages to get that top line on her forehead. So she didn't admit to a party this Allegra, but she was lighthearted around the answer. Talk of cheese and wine, no social distancing ha, ha. Nadia says she was dying for her.
Why? Chat about restrictions and this film release to make the rabble rise against Boris. Mark says she knew they were being filmed and he says that's what makes them scary, being out of touch. Jen Legs says she is a Tory and she is beyond fucked off. Mark says they aren't a couple of liberal, Guardian reading twats, but then says they are. "I don't read Guardian" says Nads.
The senior backbenchers are "incandescent."
That would be the polite version of beyond fucked off. 
Sajid Javid was supposed to meet the mediascrum and he cancelled and no Tories will be doing any interviews. Nadia calls it a dictatorship.
When Stephen Harper was PM of Canada, that POS REFUSED to participate in media scrums. He would always walk past reporters and never engaged. Twerp. 
Nadia says the gov't think the public as so
bleeping stupid and can't wait for PM questions. Mark says he only bounces questions back. Mark clicks his pen and says The Scum is the only paper not covering this on the front page. Fluff, scruch, fluff, scrunch. Labour is ahead at 3% in the polls. Talk about the party being a superspreader event. Tracey says that everyone has broken the rules.
Speak for yourself. Private Eye says The Scum had a party the same night. "They can't skew their editorial coverage because of their own behaviour" says Mark. Nadia: "We are moving into a
bleeping dictatorship." And Mark is off telling us that this idea that we live in a democracy is a fantasy without proportional representation, in a two party system with a right wing press.
Well, I agree as first past the post sucks. "In any other country, they would describe the press we have as propaganda."
I would call it glorified gossip for profit and influence, tomayto, tomahto. 
Mark is calling the attacks on the BBC reprehensible.
All that sell it nonsense, you need a public broadcaster, but BBC News hasn't been very good since the early 2000s. Right-wingers always witch about the CBC, a channel that would kill to have the funding the BBC has. Mark says he finds the BBC infuriating at times, but it is the principle. This Mark being the broken clock that is right twice a day thing is making my head spin.
Doorbell goes, Nadia gets up and Mark continues being Angry McPointy. Democracy, gaslighting, extremism oh my! Says he wants to be more like Germany, even if you do get weak gov't.
To be fair, in the Westminster system there are minority and coalition gov'ts. They don't always end up like that doofus Nick good for nothing Clegg.
Mark goes on about people wanting a pompous moron at the helm. Nadia says "these people are so far removed from all of us."
Kind of like you and your subs. Nadia brings up that dipstick Dominic Raab saying he doesn't believe people in Britain are choosing between eating and heating. I'm sure those people still with the hydro out are saying chance would be a fine thing. Nadia says on LBC were ringing up defending them.
I would ask if they are on the Tory payroll. "It's like Stockholm syndrome" says Nadia. "Totally, Stockholm syndrome, gaslighting..." chimes in Mark. Mark brings up Brexit. Mark hates that the country is so polarized, but I would say to him that it isn't unique to Britain, look at the States, there is an element in Canada of it and I'm sure it is a mental plague going on around the world. A chatter says it's real life Animal Farm. Apparently Ant and Dec of all people weighed in, addressing the Boris as "the PM for now."
Ant is still a crappy drunk driver pass it on! Nadia thinks the Tory backbenchers might finish him off now. Nadia says she would have Teresa May back tonight. According to Nadia Keir Starmer has a thin voice, no charisma and he has no delivery, but is "probably, almost definitely, an incredibly bright man." I can imagine Starmer saying gee thanks Nadia.
Mark says if the gov't puts in restrictions, who is going to follow them? Nadia talks about omnicron being a live vaccine, whipping through the population. Talk about numbers going up quickly and the NHS being fucked by cuts.
There's a band name. Hi, we're Fucked by Cuts! Why aren't they talking about Amazon's cloud getting knocked out? Calling Jacob Rees-Mogg vile now. Minky Moo says he is like an evil character in a children's book. Nadia says oh he is sooo, then says we didn't have the vaccine at Christmas. Talk about the Tory backbenchers being the checks and balances of the gov't. Talk about Allegra being a scapegoat for all this crap. Nadia asks if there is an apology and she says no. Janice says there will a big Royal story to divert attention. Attorney-General went into No.10 to give legal advice. Sharon says they are fecked. "This is a COUP!!" Nadia asks if they can boot Boris, but someone in his place and continue to govern and Mark says yes.
Yes, BUT, that person would have to call an election, as they have no public mandate to govern. Mark compares the Tories to foxhounds smelling blood. Toffee barks and the doorbell goes, Nadia gets up to get it. Welcome to Patricia. Vlog landing and Mark apologizes for getting so cross, as he gets angry that people don't see they are being played with. Nadia yells to Mark they need a password and he has to get his phone. TAKE CARE GUYS, LOTS OF LOVE, SEE YA LATER TODAY. That was boring. Buh-bye!
and the Sawalha-Adderley Seniors all seem to refuse to conform... Sadly she's probably going to end up unemployed, perpetually stoned & angry at her parents for the rest of her life (inspired by her dead beat dad)
