Tragedy To Farce

Karl Marx wrote that history repeats itself; first as tragedy then as farce. Guess where we are? First of all, let me just say that I still firmly believe that the Covid madness is over, bar the shouting. What we are witnessing now is what happens when people don’t know when to quit. The Covid narrative is a busted flush but we are still having to go through the motions. Come December the 31st, this insanity will come to a halt. So here we go again; lockdown no 2085. The government has just put London in Tier 4 so there go my Christmas plans. Of course in the light of the problems so many people are experiencing, if that is my worst problem, quite frankly I’m laughing. The poor people who work in the hospitality and entertainment industries are just having to stand by helplessly while their livelihoods are being destroyed. The concept of a mutated version of the virus that is cutting a swathe through the South East but is still susceptible to a vaccine ostensibly developed for another strain is so risible that I can’t believe anyone can make the claim with a straight face. They must be following that science again.

But be of good cheer, you just have to hold on a little longer and the whole house of cards is coming down. I suspect that January might be a bit tough as we all rub our eyes and look at the rubble our societies have been reduced to but the whole shenaningans of endless vaccinations and lockdowns and restrictions? That stuff is done. In the spirit of always cheering you up, here are my latest favourite videos and a repeat of my all-time fave. This is no laughing matter you say. Well then what shall we do after we’ve sobbed our hearts out? The one thing that authoritarian societies cannot handle is ridicule because you can’t terrify people who are laughing. That’s why the first section of society that is targeted by any dictator who knows his business is the arts, particularly writers, actors, painters and comedians. So ignore these maniacs, they don’t get to cancel Christmas. Christmas is too big for them: the fact of a newborn baby, come into the world for the sole purpose of rescuing and ransoming every soul in that world. Until I meet a person who can guarantee that when he/she inhales, they’ll definitely exhale because they have the power over life and death, I’m not going to let anyone terrorise me. We are going to make the best of any idiotic rules they come up with and we will rejoice and be glad wherever we are because the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Mere people don’t get to take that away, they don’t have the power. So, be of good cheer because Christ has overcome the darkness. Christmas is cancelled, indeed! Muppets.

Enjoy the videos, and have a wonderful week.
