Microsoft Outlook gloom

A correspondent has told me he was able to access his Outlook email account on the Sunday before last but when he tried again the following Tuesday, he was told the account had been locked.
    And when he tried to jump through Microsoft’s hoops to get it unlocked, he kept getting messages telling him: “Ooops! Something went wrong.”
    So now he’s going to have to go to his bank’s website and lotz of others to give them an email address that he can access. So much for the interweb making life easier and more convenient.

More tiers

Farmers weren’t allowed to bring tractors into London for a Budget demo as it would ‘seriously disrupt the life of the community’. Strange that this consideration doesn’t apply to the marches about ishues irrelevant to the UK? Not with a Labour government dependent on the Moslem vote.

More Downing Street bonkers

According to Bier Smarmer, anyone who dares to notice that his Fantasist of the Exchequer is useless is sexist. More sexist than claiming she’s beyond criticism if she’s female, Bier?
    Does Bier score any points for being the first PM to put a woman in charge of the nation’s finances? Not if she’s as useless as he is. Worse, any women who notice she’s useless are being accused of being misogynists!
p.s. The Budget’s best description is Total Ratner.

Keeps ’em busy

You’re really desperate dan for something to measure if you’re reduced to claiming that the perfect cup of tea for the building trade has to be brewed for 1 minute 53 seconds precisely.

Trial by jury not a right

Make Dippy Dave the Justice Sec. and what happens? Trial by jury will be abolished for all but the most serious cases, sez a leaked memo. Trial by judge is the replacement.
    Given the dippy decisions some judges make, not a desirable move; but we do have a Labour government . . .
p.s. If Dippy Dave said ‘criminal trials without juries are a bad idea’ back in 2020, we must assume he was just reading something given to him and he’s now repeating something else that he’s been told to say. He’s in stooge mode, in other words.

No help

Nett migration to the UK is down. Sadly, the people being put off are ones who would make a contribution to the economy and the ones being admitted in increasing numbers are scroungers.

Something Useful

What we need is an official glossary of government natter. F’rinstance, the admission that Smarmer’s Army saying: “We’re working very hard” means that bugger all is happening.

Justice delayed

What do you do if you’re busted for shoplifting from a Norfolk supermarket and you’re a copper? Say you took the stuff but claim you were suffering from temporary insanity.
    Will it work? Don’t hold your breath. The trial isn’t until August next year!
