I think the idea of wishing everyone a Happy New Year is redundant in that 2021 will make 2020 look like absolute bliss. I suppose 2021 will be body-bag year. All over the pavements. Piled high.
And on it goes! My neighbour's girlfriend has just arrived from the house fifteen miles away that she shares with her husband and son. They have never had any intention of taking notice of government advice re COVID-19 and will continue to ride roughshod over any advice or legislation due to their deep ignorance.
The other day when she was heading off home after her last visit, she was complaining to me while I was in the garden, that her daughter's shop has closed down due to the virus and throwing the daughter out of business and into deep debt.
She obviously doesn't know the different between connection and correlation. Their sickness is complete, their ignorance absolute and the only remedy a prison sentence.
I suppose the armed forces will arrive on the streets in numbers by late January 2021 and I just hope they have their rubber bullets loaded because they'll need them.
So, the twisted illness of ignorance and selfishness continues all around me and is the gift that keeps giving in that I'm on my third self-employment support grant, will receive my fourth at the end of March and should get my fifth and sixth in the first quarter of the 2021/2022 financial year.
And my returning to work date keeps on rolling back while I get all this money off the government to sit around at home. It's just like the good old days on the dole without the need to sign on. Plus, the money has gone up since the middle classes started losing their jobs or being laid off. Universal credit every month and the big grants every three months. It's brilliant! And no sign of cessation while the people ignore the rules. The gift that keeps giving!
My return to work dates have moved from 6th December to 4th January to 1st April and now it looks like it will be the start of July 2021 at the earliest: all fully funded by the government in the meantime. It's like a dream come true for me.
I did shout at the people in the village on VE75 to stop and go home at once but, they were too busy having "a good time" to care. Awarding the 'best wartime dressed villagers' award to the neighbour and his girlfriend despite her coming from fifteen miles away!
So it goes!
Keep safe, stay at home and keep well.
There is no way out of this for our selfish ignorant species. I explained all this back in March 2020. We are literally amusing ourselves to death.
There will be a vast amount of death in 2021 and a great deal of civil unrest. We need the armed forces on the streets now in preparation for our first national lockdown. This species can't do it. It's incapable of adhering to any plan. Maybe it's time for a bit of negative utilitarianism to come into play.
It's amazing how shallow the inner life of some people is! It's the garden of Gethsemane all over again: zero ability to be at peace and calmly stay at home. No conception of endurance and no philosophy. This species has amused itself to death.
