The Machine Stopped

YouTube's algorithm has been suggesting this video for a couple of days now but I'd been ignoring it until a comment at Charlie's Diary gave me a nudge towards it.

Granted, the Current Situation provides comedians with a target-rich environment,1 so it's more of a whistle-stop tour than the in-depth charge sheet that some of the individuals deserve, but it's still a decent reminder of how keen so many incumbents are to rush past lockdown and rush into what comes afterwards. You know, the return of 'normality'.

  1. In many respects the charge sheet probably needs expanding to cover every pusher of neoliberal bullshit over the last five decades or so, but it seems very reasonable to start with the current incumbents and work backwards from there as required until the job is done.
