Killing Time ...

The day before yesterday, soon after posting the story about never-ending low cloud, Sun appeared in the Eastern sky, as if to disprove the observation about February ... in reality the whole day was splendid, clear blue sky, bright warm Sun sparkling on powder snow ... a bitter Easterly wind brought intermittent spells of snow to top up the supply ...

In the caravan park, heading West, three workers chatted before commencing ... joining the discussion briefly led to talk of revolution, starting in Stanhope ... the current dictator who saw his destiny as Churchill, a known narcissist, widely mistrusted, nailed as fit to be crucified, though not as Jesus Christ, who he played last Easter, emerging from his viral break on Sunday as if risen from the dead, a miracle indeed! ...all subliminal messaging of course, the script written with advice from the Behavioural Insights Team at Cabinet Office ...

Through the woods and up the Dene, a friend emerged from her house accompanied by two small white dogs, looking forward to playing in the snow, and soon after a neighbour joined the walk, sharing her experience of despair at being isolated, husband having died followed by dog ... Martial Law was the last straw, as it is for many. .. to be honest the effects of Lockdown, whatever the view of viruses and the Fear engendered by the Cabinet Office, designed to make us fit to behave sensibly and comply with instructions no-one understands, are far worse than declared deaths from Sars Cov 2 or other related diseases ...

Meanwhile cancer treatment is delayed along with many other life preserving solutions, and seasonal flu is strangely quiet this year compared to previously, as covid demands attention, not least in official statistics ... an acquaintance on the street, masked but recognised, living alone, stops to engage in conversation and reveals he is "killing Time", his eyes revealing hopelessness, thanks to our compassionate leaders ... bastards basically if metaphorically, so damaged by their emotionally deficient rearing and sense of entitlement from Eton that psychopathic tendencies emerge and cause havoc ... the Coup is revealed day by day, at local level ordinary folks rebel, finding ways around the pointless regulations and soon, perhaps sacking the illegal Government, demanding trials of the liars ... and refusing to comply. ..

Reading continues as well as vids on the Tube ... like a television but with almost infinite choice, including Blom and Rovelli, plus scientists not bribed of which there are plenty, though you won't find them on the Beeb,  on its last legs anyway, though scandalously selling out to the neo-fascist regime, along with all mainstream media ... while google owned you tube kindly reads my mind, or rather the device this deluded ego is plugged into, and sorts short films from its store of content posted by citizen film makers ... including various views on Orwell and Huxley, shared to fellow humans on a rival big tech corporation platform ... yes folks, that's the much-loved FB, possibly the greatest stroker of egos ever seen ... though weirdly many humans survive without the hourly fix ... the Editor of the blog you're reading being one ...

As Marx K and Engels F proved a while ago in Capital, Capitalism inevitably eats itself, hence monopoly regulations ... as post-capitalism, let's say Corporatism, assumes power, new regulations are required, since plutocrats are hardly the best specimens to regulate themselves ... far from it ... though Pikkety's update of Capital has warned the Gods of a need for a new order for the world ... maybe an order to  be led by them, whereby a fairer distribution of goods and services applies to those surviving, and token gestures lauded as charity is enough to convince a grateful populace of their power and great compassion ...

Once this game plays out, mere mortals see there are other ways to organise relations, a kind of anarcho-syndicalist local collective scheme as seen by Pythons, the seers from previous decades, still stored on dvds and data banks ...a new religion with Python gods to be revered may offer diversions, though discriminating minds may say snakes are best not trusted in reality ... experience teaches us that ...

Snow continues to block roads, a problem for travel on wheels and those whose feet and legs and rational brains resist the call to head for the hills ... supplies in local shops seem ample, Sun shares sky with snow laden clouds another day or two, a walk high on the Fells calls ... that's really heaven in this old blogger's deluded mind!
