Is whoever speaks at 11am going to acknowledge "RISING POSITIVE RESULTS DO NOT EQUAL DEATHS", or am I being too hopeful that pigs will fly, and it will be the usual deliberate confusing of the public?
I now have a favourite mask, which says "Make Nineteen Eighty Four fiction again". We are sleepwalking and SHEEPWALKING into an oppressive regime, with the virus as the backdrop. The young up-and-coming Etonians aspiring to be the next Oliver Cromwell are taking careful note of how easily the public are being manipulated: all it takes is a little scaremongering, this will be remembered by politicians in years to come, when they think we'll have forgotten the virus. People are believing the old "people are dying" mantra simply because Saint Boris the Clown and his merry men are saying it, because they are pillars of trustworthiness.
The economy has already been smashed by the first lockdown; many business have passed the point of no return, thanks to Saint Boris's lockdown, and will never recover. Is this what the Conservative party wants, the party supposedly in favour of enterprise? People trying to make a living in business having their business destroyed by the government? Is Saint Boris going to give us more of the same? The first lockdown did not come close to eradicating the virus, despite Saint Boris's claim "we can turn this virus around in twelve weeks".
The facts, and what the clowns want us to believe, are likely to be two VERY DIFFERENT things.
