Oh and those who wax lyrical about long Covid but are dismissive when people with certain illnesses and disabilities cant wear masks.......you might think long Covid is the only long term post viral syndrome that counts NOW. But that is while the Government is happy to use you yes USE YOU to scare and emotionally blackmail others. The real litmus test will come when you have to apply for disability benefits. And when you are told NO you will want help and support from the very people you denigrated for not being able to wear masks
This is interesting. That this government lie through their teeth is not in question. Neither is the fact that we're living through a global pandemic.
Those who would suggest that the pandemic is a conspiracy/global control experiment need to give their heads a wobble. A global control experiment would mean having to get every single professional and every single family whose loved one has died on board with said conspiracy.
The UK government's shitty behaviour has been long since warned about. Before the Brexit vote, those in receipt of welfare support (and those supporting them in their applications) warned that if Brexit went ahead, the Tories would strip human rights in the same way they've cut the funding to so many services. The Tories had already spent years implementing policies that lead to people starving to death, and generally struggling.
That, whilst simultaneously persuading everyone else that all those people in receipt of welfare are somehow undeserving of sympathy and support, and should get off their collective lazy arses and support themselves. People were persuaded that their problems were down to foreigners and other minority groups, and the UK govt used the UK press to persuade millions that the weak and vulnerable were/are, in fact, workshy layabouts, scrounging off everyone else.
This government continues to do that. They will continue to do that. That the UK govt would decimate Human Rights was some thing they were telling everyone loud and clear years ago. When that was pointed out, it was dismissed as fear-mongering.
Yet here we are. Those of you who voted Tory: well done. You were told this would happen, and you ignored the warnings.
PPs who noted they're tried to raise their children in a good/positive relationship with the police. Good luck with that. In my experience, the police are utterly useless. Victim-blaming, ignorant and belligerent. I have utterly no confidence in them at all. Except in the fact that if they're involved in something, they'll no doubt make it worse.
