…because Trump and Johnson are so useless. Faced
with the modern world’s first real pandemic and buffoon leaders, Brits and
Americans are pooing their pants.
Yes, I’ve worked out why everyone is panic buying
loo roll. It made NO sense before but among other things, Covid-19 has shown us, for example, what a
pile of crap Boris Johnson’s verbal vomit ‘levelling up’ really is.
We are well into the pandemic now without clear or consistent guidelines
from the government. In fact with contradictory guidelines. We’re going for 'herd immunity' was the initial line, smacking mightily of allowing a human cull. We want to protect the elderly and vulnerable but we are going
to shut schools and universities is also a line but this puts millions of young people back into the
community and many into the immediate company of elderly relatives who would be called on to look after young ones excluded from school.
And the government were ‘negotiating’ with private
hospitals for bed space. Johnson was ‘encouraging’ manufacturers to make more
ventilators! If there is ever another great fire of London will he, during the blaze, pop
around to the people who make fire hoses and suggest perhaps they could maybe
rustle up a couple more…
This could only come from an administration stuffed
with those who pontificate on the NHS but have private health schemes and won’t be turning up to an over-stretched GP surgery any time soon to log in on a germ-smeared touch-screen desperately wondering when their already delayed treatment will get back
online .
As long-haul flights are stopped and the hideous
petri-dish pollution dumping cruise ships lose their glamour and the easy
availability of crap-we-don’t-need-but-buy-buy-buy is less available – covid-19
may just have bought the planet and our children a few more decades… but it has
shown us the unbelievable stupidity of
non-cooperation and coordination epitomised by Trump and Brexit.

if you are on lock down do check out my reading list.
There are books for adults and children plus a humorous novel and some comedy poetry. All are available in paperback AND e-book. Obviously you may want to avoid Zero One Zero Two which now wouldn't make a relaxing read.
