Covid-19
Things the government got wrong. Basically everything! Too late to shut down, PPE debacle, care homes, masks, quarantine, test and trace, exams. And still it does not realise that bombast and bluster from No.10 means absolutely nothing on the streets of Manchester or Leeds.
What is needed is a devolution of restrictions and incentives to regional level authorities. The South-West could probably have relaxed most restrictions weeks earlier, Parts of the North should never have restricted anything yet.

POLICE
I genuinely feel sorry for our police force. I think their purpose is to enforce the law.
But when the government seems to be churning out laws that are unenforceable by the day, one wonders how the police force can maintain any semblance of authority. Wearing a mask seems to be voluntary in North Somerset, quarantine after a foreign holiday to prescribed areas seems to be non-existent. And if people can chose which laws they would like to observe the whole system starts to crumble. Well done Johnson and Cummings!
FOOTBALL
Well I am puzzled! Football is obviously an industry which needs to continue. But it is not football without the crowd. Even the comment I had when playing (badly) on a Sunday morning in the snow, ‘nice eyes’ -enough to put me off! I only go to one or two matches a year, but basically the whole of sport seems to have become more distant and something that is played out on the screen, not real life?
Who am I?
I live in Sandford, North Somerset, England, Great Britain, The British Isles, Europe. Non of which mean much to me. Rule Britannia, flying the flag, who cares about these symbols.
I am however proud to be who I am. All of those places above have bent and cultured me to be who I am. I hope I am kind to others, considerate and where appropriate affectionate. I hate bigotry, racism, misogyeny, sexism, etc. in all its forms.
