Ah the days grow long now. Drink in that vitamin D. It's going to be a long journey.
Today, in town, I walked past Wetherpsoons, my only relationship with that place. Tim Martin and his clown show have decided posting covid denial nonsense on their doors is ok. No doubt in protest at not being able to sell shit to the drinking classes. That guy is beyond stupid, and this is beyond irresponsible. I'm even considering making a complaint to the council. People are listening to this rubbish, a lot of idiots are damaging our chances to recovery. London and the southeast are still on fire. People have got to start listening. People have got to start taking this seriously.
Teachers are taking action though. They have called for staff not to open schools. This is correct. Schools should not return. The reason the government want them to has nothing to do with education, we can see that by looking at the existence of last year's (and every year's) infamous algorithm. The purpose of their education system is to keep the economy ticking over: childcare for workers and bean counting for tomorrow's drones. They have now taken reproductive labour away from parents. Forced to work, both parents now can't even have ownership of that small piece of capitalism. Nothing is sacred. Nothing is ours. Not even our breath. We are crying out for a revolution.
A short entry today because a) I'm behind and b) we're holding on till Monday to see what actually happens with the new school term in the new covid year. If the government gets its way on this then, again, it will have succeeded only in exacerbating this nightmare
