Last Christmas...

"Last Christmas...they kept us apart. And within a few days, they locked us away 

This year...to save us from Tiers, they're dishing out Covid boosters"

**With apologies to George Michael**

Absolutely every possible resource of the NHS is being thrown at boosters, with no evidence that they're needed and no guarantee they'll work.

Even urgent operations may be cancelled - not great when the NHS surgery backlog already stands at nearly 6 million! They're passing death sentences on people who've done nothing wrong; I can't believe it, it's criminal. It all sounds like the manic pronouncements of a deranged dictator. 

Last night the majority of MPs, with the exception of 99 Tory rebels and a few other randoms, backed a vote on Covid passports to be used in large venues as well as compulsory facemasks in most indoor settings.

After nearly two years I can't believe this is where we are. Boris is ramping up the rhetoric nicely again to continue keeping people frightened and compliant, The sad thing is that mostly the public are still going along with this nonsense, which started with his statement in March 2020 of "Three weeks to flatten the curve". It's dragging on a bit, matey - it's been a bloody long three weeks!

In my post of December 23rd 2020 I said I thought we'd have a lockdown in the New Year. We did. One year on and I'm saying it again. If Boris doesn't cancel Christmas within the next week, he'll definitely put us into lockdown soon after New Year. 

I'm wary of planning anything in the midst of the current situation when it's quite likely we'll have the rug pulled again, but what else can we do? I will still see The Troops at Christmas - nothing Boris can say will change that.

Just prepare for the worst and hope for the best, I suppose.
