This phrase has been used extensively in recent days. The lack of action on rapidly increasing Covid cases is due to a lack of political will. Global inertia regarding action on fossil fuels is down to. a lack of political will, etc.etc.

So the government will allocate £450 million to install 90000 heat pumps in the Uk’s 30 million homes. Then twatface says people are saying they go too fast – only his nasty party cronies.

A ‘U” turn of epic proportions. Johnson has gone from get Brexit done, to ‘let’s drag it out for as long as possible as it is the thing which got me the PM job!”.

Cases reached 49156 yesterday and hospitalisations and deaths have also risen, albeit at a much lower level than in earlier waves of the virus. So what is the Government doing? Errr – nothing of course – having told people to be sensible it is no longer their responsibilty!

Should I go? Probably not, but I will support those who do go to protest. The “sponsors” are complaining that they are not getting enough publicity – what did they expect from an incompetent government? The fact that ‘sponsors’ have been found totally undermines the whole show.

Of course it is very sad and concerning that David Amiss was stabbed to death. It does raise the issue of whether some lives are worth more than others? Over 500 people a week die in the UK, but it is barely mentioned in the press.

The expanding waiting list for treatment is apparently the fault of the doctors and nurses states Health Secretary Said Javid. Social distancing roles in surgeries to be scrapped and patients will have the right to see a doctor in person. Despite increases in violence towards doctors and the continuing pandemic – yes it is continuing with more than 500 people per week dying- the government is again imposing rules that will please the right wingers. And basically spitting in the face of those who have risked their lives for the benefit of others over the last 20 months.

Potentially a short term answer to climate change? Certainly a lots less radiation and no greenhouse gases once it is up and running. But I know I am thick when it comes to science but if the power generated is converted to heat – surely that will add to the earths temperature?
