The government and Priti Useless continue with the blame game. They fail to understand some of the key facts.

Very sad. The Sun has a picture of French Police watching a boat leave. Xenophobia is promoted. Radio 5 allowed a woman on a phone in to state that ‘many’ migrants were criminals escaping justice and economic migrants. First off – there appear to be more criminals in the House of Commons on the Tory benches. Secondly, I am not sure at what age a child stops being a child and becomes an economic migrant. Hopefully some of these people might start work in one of the many areas we are short of labour as soon as possible.

Unfortunately what I call passive racism is ingrained in out society. Many people would declare tat they were not racist at the same time as using offensive ‘banter’. Until we confront our history we will be blighted by the virus of racism. Of course statues to the murderers of the past should be moved, the National Trust should declare where the huge wealth that enabled our stately homes to be built comes from. Perhaps too many in the wealthy echelons of society still reap benefits from the gross abuse of the poor.

Priti Patel and Dominic Raab state that asylum seekers will be sent to Albania. However this is denied by Albania’s Foreign Minister (a woman not a man – The Times please note) and its ambassador to the UK. So all ministers now feel free to join in the bullshit! It is so sad that they put more time and effort into appeasing rightwing nutters than the problem itself.

Believing anything that comes out of Johnsons mouth would be foolish. He has a press conference about Covid when he was the one sitting next to Attenbrough without a mask, who went around a hospital without a mask.

Covid continues to confuse – or at least the statistics do. I would love to be at University and have proper access to the stats and the computer technology to analyse them.
