The govt seems to have fully armed and readied all its blamethrowers, from the chief exec of NHS, to new Labour NHS organisation, to people being too fat to survive, to people being too unwilling to dine out to help out, to the EU standing in the way of England’s glory, to Wales and Scotland dragging us down, to people not being alert enough, or having enough common sense to do the right thing. They’re lining up all the reasons why nothing is ever their fault and there seems little media interest in pesky things like facts and evidence, it’s easier and juicier to quote MP’s vitriolic spats than investigate truth claims. My guess is that lots of people will become destitute, many will die, and they will never realise what hit them, even when it’s too late. The false picture will leave them baffled. It’s incredibly sad.
No one I work with or hang out with believes this Government – people are afraid of THEM – not just Covid-19.
And then there are those who are either easy to manipulate or who do not believe anything – you could call them the Boris’ real constituency – I do hope that they will not hold sway.
I have said to my adult children, and anyone who will listen, that I think this government is the most dangerous we have had in my lifetime.
The ordinary person will not notice until well after the event and only then because their Spanish holiday got more expensive or some of their consumer rights get affected. Too late!
And as for Matt Hancock running the NHS…..doesn’t he know that he is the useful fool who will lose his job once his usefulness has passed.
Bob Dylan’s song – The Times They are a’changin’ seems apt.
‘Come gather ’round, people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin’
And you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin’
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls… ‘
