History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Brexit was always doomed. A painfully idiotic idea and ideology based on entitlement and prejudice with no plan, no concept of how it would work and no acknowledgement that it wouldn’t all be up to them anyway. So they lied instead of dealing with reality. And guess what? Epic shitshow.

As Trump regains the throne, and we continue the worldwide slide of intellectual, economic and cultural decline - it does feel like we’re re-entering the Dark Ages. This time, it’s not the Church driving the decline, it’s a handful of tech-bro billionaires.

All Health Secretaries need a cynical and jaded doctor sat with them at the table to say “Are you fucking mental?” when their aspirational SPADs, careerist medics and civil servants (with little to no background in the service) puke up their latest wheeze for their consideration.

One depressing thing about 2025 is that no country in the world is treating covid with the seriousness it deserves—e.g. masks in healthcare, air purifiers in classrooms, and Long Covid moonshots. Even the early stand-outs (e.g. New Zealand) seem to have, unfortunately, joined the race to the bottom

A letter posted 2 years ago. As true today as it was then. And so it goes on. And on. And on. A country divided and diminished because its politicians chose to lie and then - when it went tits up - couldn’t risk telling the truth.

Jack and the Brexit
A new deal with the EU? Is that the deal in which we get our own veto, our own vote and our own rebate; in which we keep our own currency and aren't part of the Schengen area? No, it seems not. We had a better deal than any other country in the club, and we threw it away for some magic beans and a blue passport.

There’s something surreal about watching NHS staff warn flu and covid are overwhelming hospitals whilst ditching masks and testing. No medic I know takes LFTs anymore. Many see a clinically vulnerable patient with a mask and don’t bother to offer to wear one too. Join the dots, lads.
