Got my Bojo workin’

I first came across the word ‘mojo’ in the mid to late 1960s largely through Muddy Waters – no doubt a picaninny when young - and his version of ‘I got my mojo working’.
Great performance here:
The word is sometimes used today to describe a circumstance when a sportsperson, say, has been having a lean spell but recovers their spark and they ‘get their mojo back’.
Its meaning to black American blues singers and their audiences, although probably not the white middle-class types in the video, was that of a charm, designed to bring luck, mainly in the love and sexual stakes.
Contained in a small bag it would have, along with other things, roots, herbs, hair, fingernails, bones and dried frogs as ingredients.
Now, it seems there is an even less savoury and rather flabby pale white imitation rag bag of human and other detritus going around called a ‘Bojo’. The ingredient it most conspicuously lacks though is the real charm and it is very unlikely to bring any luck of any sort to the UK or its citizens.
It has however worked its magic on the floppy haired flunkey, Robert Peston, whose reporting of the G7 summit in Biarritz plumbs new depths of trivial and content-less observation. Our PM is ‘a card’ a Bertie Wooster type description conjured out of Peston’s life amongst the upper classes as well as ‘really loving being PM’.
No wonder he’s loving it, the way people like Peston are producing gallons of this kind of drivel will make his job of turning Britain into a right-winger’s paradise that much easier.
If anyone thinks that this is not the aim of our mendacious PM, they should review the make-up of his cabinet and, worse, his advisers, especially the eugenics fan Dominic Cummings. Many of them have written right wing tracts, for example ‘After the Coalition’ from 2011 (Kwasi Kwarteng, Priti Patel etc) or spoken of what is basically their contempt for people not in their hallowed group:
or democracy:
To be fair, these people make little attempt to conceal their views but they still seem to have escaped not just Peston’s gaze but that of the British MSM in general. An honourable exception, at least for the moment, to the sycophantic approach is the head of Channel 4 News, Dorothy Byrne, who referred to Johnson as ‘a known liar’ in the recent, annual and highly regarded, MacTaggart lecture. The reward for this was to have C4’s G7 interview with Johnson cancelled in a spiteful Trump-like manner. Needless to say, Johnson can’t sue because her accusation is provably true many, many times over.
I say Peston should stop trying to beat Evans Davies in their ‘Who can wear the tightest and least suitable trousers for a middle-aged man contest’ and start to do some proper reporting.
