Bonfire of The Independent Thinkers.

 No matter what criticisms you have of Boris Johnson or Nicola Sturgeon, the thing they has was charisma. They also bucked the trend of bland, unthinking robotic politicians.

But, that bravura caught up with them eventually.

There was a point I defended Boris as originally the "PartyGate" scandal was essentially a bunch of workers having a drink at work. They were at work and it doesn't matter what you do if you're an essential worker whether you're there working, or having a sherry to toast a colleague as they leave for pastures new. 

The Covid rules allowed essential workers to be at work. Anything else is semantics and splitting hairs out of jealousy.  It appears that the dispute is what constitutes an essential worker, or a person that was allowed to be on the premises under the Covid rules. 

I was an essential worker and we had Pizza delivered the bosses ordered as a thank you for working through the pandemic. It wasn't much of a party, but it was a nice gesture as we stopped work for a bit and collectively took a break. We were sensible and distanced as much as we could., but still if you want to get extremely nit-picky there were occasions where it just wasn't possible. Carrying a two-person heavy load, for instance. 

In the end we chose to work as much as we could within the rules within reason and common sense. That's all you can do, otherwise you might as well say even essential workers should have gone home. Because at the end of the day if you make enough disparate o rules or make the rules especially vague, then you 're going to fall foul of one eventually.

It's an old Soviet tactic: keep watching someone for long enough and with enough rules around they'll eventually break a rule and you'll be able to prosecute.

In Boris' case I think this is what has happened. The knives have been out from the start and this is the thing they pinned on him. It's a bit like Al Capone: the only thing they eventually pinned on him was tax evasion, which was just enough to put him in jail, despite the heinous acts he masterminded over the years.

Sturgeon is a completely different case. There looks to be definite evidence of fraudulent activity. Enough to warrant charges and arrests. Whether she was directly involved is not yet proven, but it's not looking good for at least her husband and others in the SNP financial apparatus.

In both cases however, I get the feeling there was a concerted effort to remove them and replace them with other, less headstrong replacements. In the UK we eventually got Rishi because the establishment didn't like the people's choice of Liz Truss. Don't forget that Rishi didn't even win the confidence of his own party's members, let alone win a general election.

In Sturgeon's case I think she was led down a path that she followed which led to her demise. 

In both cases we got inferior replacements. Rishi the Billionaire accountant and that bloke in Scotland whose name I can't remember. 

Bland placeholders, no agenda, no plan. 

And that's what the globalists want: people they can influence and get results. Rishi will not rock the boat like Liz Truss and Boris did. They will not stir up trouble and keep pressing the independence button like Nicola Sturgeon did. The globalists right now want open borders, not fragmentation. They want seamless trading, not customs barriers. Just look how quickly the original Northern Ireland agreement was modified, when both sides realised they'd reduced profits for the globalists.

Just remember we used to be their employers, their masters. That appears to be no longer the case. I've been banging on for over a decade that modern governments have been corrupted and co-opted to serve the global corporations. They no longer serve the best interest of the people, the voters that vote them into power.
