At what stage does the human mind stop recognising people as individuals and see them as statistics. Or is it a learnt mind set. Did First World War Generals consider the individuals they sen6 to their deaths, or was it like a board game? We seem to be having a similar analogy here. Cases of covid have soared in South Africa from 2-300 a day 2 weeks ago to 8000 plus yesterday. But the office party should go on?

We know that the buffoon has not progressed past the me, me, me stage but he/it still seems to have the power to coerce members of his tribe that he is the chosen leader!

There seem to be no plausible arguments for a monarchy in the UK anymore – if there ever was? The monarchy has turned a blind eye, or has been powerless in the face of corruption and lies by this government.

Double standards – Xmas party not denied by the liar. New hospitals include those having a refurbish – whilst this could be believable in extreme circumstances, it is a bit like me getting new tyres for the car and claiming it is a new car. Many Tory MP’s not wearing masks although sleaze-dogg was!

So Johnson continues appease the frothing mouths of the rabid doggs in his back benches.

Unfortunately I have heard their argument around here for some time. Covid is here to stay so might as well just let people die rather than the terrible curtailment of civil liberties by having to wear a mask. If the virus mutates, well why waste time with new vaccines. sacrifices on the alter of the free market economy are just an inconvenience. This argument does not seem to be worked through or at least articulated properly – they fail to state the logical next step that people with covid should be denied access to the NHS. This would of course make the NHS more attractive to American Medical Giants and Hedge Funds.

As usual the evidence is confusing. Evidence so far from South Africa is that this variant is less potent (fingers crossed this is correct) but more virulent. The case in Essex was communicated second hand from someone who had been to S.A. 2 weeks ago. Ministers are talking up the variant whilst talking down action. Could this be an elaborate plan to enable the Tories to claim that “Johnson has saved Xmas” and to cover up further mismanagement, corruption, sleaze and selling off the NHS? Is that too cynical?
