I just don't understand people in this country anymore. It seems like you're supposed to work yourself to death, otherwise you're a lazy bum, never get ill, but if you do it's your own fault for not dieting or exercising enough, any joy in life must be given up or shamed as self-indulgence, and once you're done with this life of grind you're supposed to die right away to avoid being a burden as an old or disabled person.
What is the point of life then? Why even go on living, have children etc, if working like a mule is the only thing that matters? Who benefits from this miserable, judgemental, puritanical approach?
The answer is, of course, Rishi Sunak his ilk- they benefit because they've never actually worked a single day in their lives and yet they get to tell regular people to police each other and tear each other apart over things like getting a sick note when you're ill.
There is an ongoing (yes! ongoing! as per the WHO!) pandemic in the world and the UK was worse hit than other countries due to mismanaging things horrifically since the beginning. As a result, people are more sick than before 2020- and they were already getting more sick due to the NHS being dismantled. Also, because of a self-inflicted economic crisis (thanks Liz Truss!) and ongoing warmongering globally, people's mental health is suffering, which is a perfectly logical response to dire circumstances.
All of that is objective reality, no matter how much governmental propaganda about Covid being over and the NHS being fine people try to deceive themselves with. So, threatening and pushing sick people more will achieve nothing, except the sick people will become destitute or kill themselves more often.
