Divert away attention

-

The United Kingdom has suffered the highest death toll from coronaviru­s in Europe, and now not just the worst performing economy in Europe but in the G7.

This suggests to me, we have the most incompeten­t government, not just in Europe but in the history of the UK.

So with the government in tatters, both politicall­y and economical­ly, its battle plan is not to apologise and try get the economy going, but to alter the narrative and direct the anger of the working class away from their failures and onto migrants and refugees.

Before everyone gets on their high horse, no one has said it's not a problem but the Tory party have been in power now over 10 years, spouting the same dogma, take back control, secure the borders, blah blah, knowing full well it will stir the passions of all the little

Englanders.

The government also has support from some national newspaper readers who have brainwashe­d a lot of the working class people to believe the Tories are the party to sort this out.

I nearly spilled my pint laughing when my mate Lav said Boris Johnson was doing a great job.

Just a thought, if the government is trying to justify spending countless millions of taxpayers’ cash sending in the RAF and the Navy on a propaganda mission to deal with a problem they have failed to address these last 10 years, just remember there are over 60,000 more spaces in this country thanks to their incompeten­ce.
