A VERY ENGLISH DISEASE

Brash unwarranted confidence, overlaid with arrogance and a hefty dollop of selfishness, variable amounts of ignorance, a lack of empathy, . We see it in coco, and the huge numbers of people socialising with no regard for others – not just in night clubs, etc. – but also with no regard for their families welfare.

SHAMBLES

No not the brilliant shopping district of York.

The governments handling of the NHS supposed pay rise (less than inflation so ??? Junior doctors have been excluded …, why?

PEGASUS

I am not sure mainstream media have cottoned onto this affront to democracy. An Israeli spyware firm supplied surveillance software which could target phones. This software was provided to a number of countries and has been used against political opponents, journalists, internationally important politicians, and people in the UK. Up to 50.000 people have been targeted according to leaked data given to trusted media organisations worldwide.

BREXIT

OK I voted against and still think it a disaster. However of more importance is trust. Surely even liars know that when they sign a contract it is not negotiable when and if you change your mind?

JUST WHEN …

you thought they could not be any worse they succeed. If pinged it is not legally binding says a minister, then Downing Street says you should isolate if pinged. But critical workers will be exempt, as long as they take daily tests and are negative. But who is a critical worker is not stated. Any tax payer could claim to be. critical worker? What about a worker in a food shop? Or a shelf stacker in a supermarket, or the lorry driver who delivers the produce, or the waste collection operatives, any public transport worker, any NHS worker, Post Officer worker, delivery driver, and in this heat an ice cream van worker.

DISHONEST

Whilst I would be pleased to see everyone take up the vaccine, we live in a democracy of sorts (its failings becoming increasingly apparent) where we have the freedom to make choices affecting our lives, and which do not impinge on those of others.

COVID

Having got off to a storming start the vaccination programme is showing signs of stalling in some important parts of the country – BAME communities and poorer areas.
