What happened on 22nd March 2023

This Wednesday was marked by several unwelcome news.

Thus we've been informed that UK inflation rate in surprise rise to 10.4% as salad crisis pushes up prices

That was rather appalling. As usual, brave Britons faced this data with a good laugh.

 

"This means companies increase our pay to match inflation, right? Right? Unless you've got debt (which devalues with inflation), inflation is the worst."

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...oh you're serious, let me laugh even harder AH HA HA HA HA HA! Best we can do is 0.1% over 3 years while profits go up by 50% year on year.

And to compensate for those industry leading wage increases, we're going to have to sack a quarter of you and replace you with automation."

Another piece of the Wednesday news runs that  MPs overwhelmingly vote for Rishi Sunak’s Brexit deal despite revolt led by Boris Johnson.

 Readers of the Independent appear uninterested in impact of the Brexit deal on their lives. They willingly discuss Johnson's and Truss' position on this issue:

"Quote, Johnson:“The proposed arrangements would mean either that Northern Ireland remained captured by the EU legal order - and was increasingly divergent from the rest of the UK - or they would mean that the whole of the UK was unable properly to diverge and take advantage of Brexit.”

Then, why did Johnson negotiate and sign this arrangement and why did he force Tory MPs to rubberstamp it without reading it?

That “Northern Ireland remains captured by the EU legal order” is a cornerstone of the NIP. What Brextremists like Johnson (or the ERG) omit is that only EU rules regulating the Single Market for goods apply in NI. This is a prerequisite for an open border between NI an Ireland.

In short, Johnson is saying:

“I lied to everybody, the EU, the MPs, the people in NI and the English in ‘deprived areas’, just to win the election. My ‘oven ready deal’ was never meant to be implemented.”"

"Boris only got the job of Prime Minister by opposing May's Brexit deal. He's hoping to pull the same trick off again - persuade people he is the only person who can get Brexit done by opposing Brexit."

"Two discredited former PMs are finding solace in one another."

 Mainstream media go even further alleging that Rishi Sunak faces possible Tory revolt over new Brexit deal.

On Monday, election race continued. So, we've known more about leader of British opposition and l eader of the Labour Party since 2020 Keir Starmer. While his party took under fire Rishi Sunak's wife for using tax loophole in their latest advert   so that, the readers wished "the Labour front bench better hope every single one of their spouses/partners is squeaky clean because now they've opened this door it'll be open season. I expect numerous stories in the media going forward about their families, and any complaints will be knocked back with 'well you brought Sunak's wife into it, your family is fair game now';   the Daily Mail correspondent recalled old sins of sir Keir Starmer went to 21 meetings of the Sentencing Council, it decided not all child sex offenders should go to prison. The article concludes that Starmer bears significant responsibility for the fact that, from 2014 until the present day, it has been possible for child sex offend...

Tuesday was a day full of events in the UK. One of the biggest strikes by medics started , this Tuesday. While junior doctors were marching past Downing Street, EveryDoctor Wall of Support for them was launched. Hundreds of Britons wrote messages of respect and support for people who save our lives. Jeremy Vine on 5 debate show received rather clear answer on the question, " Are junior doctors' pay demands unreasonable? Junior doctors in England are striking for four days while asking for a 35% pay restoration. The Health Sec says the demands are "unreasonable" and that walkouts "risk patient safety". Do you agree? Or are you backing the doctors?" The majority of their followers in Twitter  spoke out in favour of the junior doctors. They also doubt in competence of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Hon. Steve Barclay. There is an opinion that four days is too long to medics' strike :   " No. I am backing the Doctors. Stev...

 On Friday, it occurred that despite numerous reports about preparations to the Coronation, British support for the monarchy is at an all time low, according to the pre-Coronation poll .  Redditors were merciless. "That's probably because they're a pointless throwback to when people were physiologically conditioned to believe the paedos were a benefit instead of the blight they actually are." "I used to respect the queen, just about, until I found out about her covering up for that nonce Andrew. Now I hope she burns in hell." "The media puff pieces on Charles have been incredible lately. No doubt the palace spends a LOT on PR." "I always thought I was a monarchist but really I just respected Liz. It should have died with her." "We're being told to stop moaning about being poorer, at the same time we're supposed to cheer and wave at billionaires in gold carriages..." Not only the RF have been losing their popularity. ...
