Dear Diary,
Don’t know if anyone is still out there, but just in case, it’s me, the houseboy, signing in to say howdy and to dispel rumours that I’ve been silenced as part of Starmer’s crackdown on free speech here in the UK. Not yet, I haven’t, but who knows, it could only be a matter of time. The thought police are everywhere here in lost the plot Britain.
I’ll be honest, this year hasn’t been the best and falls into the horrible anus category, but that’s life, I suppose. Welcoming in the New Year with bells and whistles doesn’t guarantee it’s gonna be all plain sailing.
At least the weather has been pleasant here in Old Blighty, but don’t tell any climate activists I said so, otherwise they’ll ship in Greta Thunberg and have her lecture me through a megaphone for being a climate denialist. Scares me a bit does grim Greta, there isn’t a bandwagon she won’t jump on, unless it’s one asking that we all calm the fuck down and accept that there is more than one version of the truth out there. God forbid that open debate and critical thinking replace toxic cancel culture. Between the hate filled left, and the hate filled right, there’s just a yawning chasm where commonsense and everyday decency used to reside. Kindness and tolerance have been sacrificed to blind extremism. We all keep our heads down, cowering, in case Greta types (of whatever persuasion) beat the shit out of us with their self-declared and ironclad ‘morality.’
Takes a deep breath. Enough ranting, or the thought police (Shane, in my case) will shut me down. He’s used up his quota of patience for this year. I’m on a strict programme of be calm, no hyping (as in constant doom-scrolling to find something to be angry about) smile, chill, and make an effort, or else.
Like I said, I haven’t been around because I haven’t been in a great place, and some days are still a bit of a struggle, but I’m working on it, peeps. The purpose of this entry was just to pop my head above the parapet and break the silence. Job done.
Hope all is well in your worlds. Ciao for now.
