OUR WORLD

And can we have some condemnation of both sides in the Gaza conflict. At risk of being called anti-Semitic I condemn Israeli air strikes on civilian areas. I also condemn rockets fired. into civilian areas of Israel. However the world must look at the way the Israeli government has treated Palestinians over the last whatever. Trump wholeheartedly backed them and Biden has to try to piece together a peace!

And, as ever a covid comment. The new variant B.1.167.2, otherwise known as the India variant. It is said to be more transmissible. Does this matter?

A couple of things here – firstly the government has reduced the time between jabs. Why, when they said it was ok to leave it for 12 weeks are they suddenly saying it must be in 8 weeks? Secondly, does it actually matter that much if young adults get it? Being cynical, some might suffer more than most, but probably not more than from a host of other diseases. If the vaccine is preventing some (50% is what I have seen) of transmissions, the ones we are seeing are mainly harmless. If infections are not impacting on the NHS – is there a problem? Is this a WW! scenario where the government ministers who have been fighting (legitamently) the virus want to see its demisement?

Or is there still a real threat. I am aware that my vaccine might not protect me fully. But knowing I could contract the virus, and pass it on , should make me tentative about contacts? The press ‘Hugathon bollock’s’ is understandable from a sales point of view, but if it goes horribly wrong who will pay? We are almost there with most areas having less than 3 per 100000 (areas of 10000). Another week should do it, it test and trace is meeting any of the targets it was presumably set?

These people who rip the public off like David Cameron really are despicable people. And he still gets a pension from the tax payer. Bastard.
