Boris Johnson , the U.K. Prime Minister, (also known as the Clown 🤡) has put most of the U.K. into lockdown for Christmas just 3 days after declaring that there was no way that was going to happen and the promised 5 day break would happen over Christmas. People bought turkey, presents, train tickets and made plans to see the family bubble. Only for him to declare at 4pm on Saturday 19th December that London and the South East would enter a newly created Tier 4 level of lockdown.
Cue chaos as people tried to leave London to return to families before the midnight lockdown. The main station out of London to the north of the U.K. is St Pancras and it was crowded with people ramming into the only available trains out of London before the travel ban took effect. Definitely a super spreader event if there ever was one.
The sheer idiocy of the U.K. PM is breathtakingly stupid. He doesn’t appear to listen to anyone, at all. The scientists have had misgivings about his plans for weeks , yet he still ploughed ahead and reassured everyone and told us all to be “jolly careful”. Not only will this move cost people financially and emotionally it could also cost lives. How is this man still Prime Minister?! Oh yes, of course we know, that poison chalice of a Brexit trade deal (or no deal) still has to land in his lap before the spineless Tories knife him the back and oust him in favour of a more voter friendly candidate. Well people have very long memories and starving innocent children for the sake of political ideology ain’t going to wash in the next election. Nor is cancelling Christmas at short notice because the PM didn’t want to be unpopular and enforce a second national lockdown. Well that ship has sailed a long time ago BoJo. The Tory party is about to discover what stormy seas really are.
I am so annoyed at the lack of planning and forethought by the PM. People living on their own need to see family at Christmas to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. It will be lonely and cold this Christmas for so many without family.
I wrote some alternate lyrics for Mariah Carey’s famous Christmas song: All I want for Christmas is You. Enjoy – I hope it spreads a little Christmas joy or at least a wry smile. Happy Christmas from me. And remember even a storm runs out of rain eventually. We just need to weather the storm.
Here are my alternate lyrics:
We don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing We need
We don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
We just want that clown to go
More than you could ever know
Make our wish come true
All We want for Christmas isn’t true blue!
We don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing We need
And We don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
We don’t need to hang our stockings
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won’t make us happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
We just want families to be together
After a year of hardship and dismay
Make our wish come true
All We want for Christmas isn’t true blue
Oh, We won’t ask for much this Christmas
We won’t even wish for snow
And We’re just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
We won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
We won’t even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
‘Cause We just want family here tonight
Holding on to hope so tight
What more can We do?
PM, all I want for Christmas is family
Family
Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children’s laughter fills the air
And everyone isn’t singing
We hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won’t you bring family We really need?
Won’t you please bring family to me?
Oh, We don’t want a lot for Christmas
This is all We’re asking for
We just wanna see family
Standing right outside our door
Oh, We just want family to come home
More than you could ever know
Make our wish come true
PM, all We want for Christmas… is family
Family
All I want for Christmas is family
All I want for Christmas is family
All I want for Christmas is family
All I want for Christmas is family
All I want for Christmas is family
