Pretenidng to be someone important, a bumbling oaf with a piss stained thatch spoke in front of a camera. Oh, that's the Prime Minster? That's embarrassing!
Schools to re open a couple of weeks before they have to shut again, because it will be the Easter holidays. Is there really much sense in that; wouldn't it be best to wait a month and allow for a greater reduction in cases as well as further output of the vaccine? Not to creepy Gav. He doesn't care about your kids' health, nor that of the workforce. He hasn't so far, so expecting that to change seems naive. The problem is, as I said yesterday, any spread in the virus will not occur immediately. It's not like when you touch a hot plate, ouch! You yank your hand back quickly. They say they are allowing three weeks' breathing space between 'unlocks' (achievement unlocked: You are a Twat PM), that's something at least. But it took longer for even the scientists to spot the problems following the same degree of opening in September. It then took the governmorons until January to act (not counting the insufficient November lockdown that was still to little too late).
This overshadows all the other pit stops on the Boris' Roadmap to Ruin. I mean allowing people to meet for coffee in public is great except it's been happening throughout. Local cafes never stopped selling takeout. People never stopped talking to one another in the street, out walking dogs etc. You are never going to stop that anyway. I have to wonder what lockdown the government are referring to now because it's not the same one I'm living. On one hand they institute rules too little too late and on the other no one obeys them anyway. The problem is a complete lack of credible authority.
We still aren't listening to the science because if we were at the very least there would be a phased return to school. This is the biggest aspect of all this. I'm sick of hearing about the importance of education, especially when teachers haven't stopped. In fact more has been expected of them than ever before. all with no support - and the continued, baffling, class hatred perpetually waged against them in the media. Then, when it all goes tits up and we're in Fourth Lockdown, the usual suspects will be back with their stage managed anti-lockdown/anti-science outrage. What a fucked up society we live in.
I could talk about the other aspects of the plan, but what's the point. Everything that comes out of Johnson's mouth is toxic and baseless. Lies come easier than the expulsion of carbon dioxide. Anyway it all hinges on the outcome of schools opening. I imagine we'll hear how much work the government has done to facilitate that, or whether they just say shit and expect it to happen; minimum wage overstretched teachers having to do it all while playing dodgeball with covid. That's Johnson's MO.
