A Quick Look at the Papers with Steve Bannon


 BOO! Ha. No. This is old news. From 2018. The untouchable past. And, to give both sides, Boris Johnson called this "so-called association with Steve Bannon... a lefty delusion whose spores continue to breed in the Twittersphere." So who are you going to believe? Our Prime Minister, or deluded lefty, Steve "Badges" Bannon? Indeed, the idea that the Brexit campaign might have just been a vehicle for a populist, far right coup, and that nobody actually campaigning for it really wanting to leave the EU, is... well, is given some credence I suppose by Johnson's many statements before the referendum on the folly of leaving the EU. But a person's allowed to change their mind. And if the entitled energy of this coup-staging prick...
 
... is in any way reminiscent of the energy of the Leader of the House...
 

 ... Well, the latter won an election, so he's entitled to take the piss. 
 "Wash your hands to the National Anthem." Love it. Herd immunity. Highest daily death rate in the world. One thing the Prime Minister has been consistent in throughout his political career is his praise for the mayor from Jaws, so you can't say people didn't know what they were voting for, ie someone who could be trusted to put business interests before human life – not business interests in general obviously, because Johnson also famously said "fuck business" regarding Brexit, but his friends' business interests – and the National Anthem, of course. And statues and shit. 
 No, it's not a coup if you win an election, no matter how many thousands die. No matter if over a thousand are still dying every day. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Steve Bannon was granted a Presidential pardon yesterday. But why am I talking about that? That was yesterday. Today is a new day. America has a new President. Trumpism's definitely gone. And I love America. And I'm sure the happiness will kick in in a bit.
