The older I get the more I see that the system is broken, the country is almost running itself, London-centric politicians flounder in front of us, pissing in the wind. Best they keep their mouths shut, for what comes out is derided the next day by an ever hungry news lobby, whose only function is to strike us with fear.
Well that's off my chest ;) First time yesterday I asked a volunteer for help in getting my prescription from the chemist. I somehow felt that the chemist might be a place of contagion, weird surely?
Today I will make a virtual tour of Cornwall and its cromlechs, remembering that the weather was not too good. Also there is a fatless teabread to be made and blackberry jelly to be simmered gently until it reaches that stage of firmness and clear dark purple.

Ultimately we don't know! - Steven Bush Quote
Will there be a Covid-19 vaccine by the end of the year? We don't know. What are the long term health effects of having the novel coronavirus on those who get it? We don't know. Is longterm immunity from the disease even possible? We don't know. Could the novel coronavirus vanish unexpectedly? We don't know. Are schools significant vectors of infection? We don't know.
Pissing in the wind is such an apt description of what is going on right now. The rest of the country is always ignored, politicians have always been London centric, those of us living outside London have always known this, now it is up to the Government to do something about it. Boris's promises were hollow words.
ReplyDeleteWell with a prime minister who very rarely shows his face, the daily updates which really tell us nothing, we are completely screwed in the political field as well as the media. The thing is, having resorted to Arte television news, the rest of the world is really suffering in some places, but we get nothing of that in this country.
