The age of stupid

I meant to put this on the last Brexit/COVID post, but the sheer stupidity deserves a post of its own.

On Saturday, there was a massive anti-mask rally at Trafalgar Square, organised by Jereny Corbyn's brother.

Thousands of people attended, none wearing masks, and also attending were various racists and mouthbreathers, including one chap who brought along a flag depicting the British Union of Fascists from 1936. My Grandfather, and many of our grandparents literally risked their lives fighting actual fascists in WWII, yet these mothbreathers claim to love England. I mean its always England, isn't it?

There were raves in London, Manchester and near Bath, as people have apparently forgotten we are in the middle of a global pandemic. Apparently, there was little the police could do(!).

The cost of COVID will have to be paid, sooner or later. Latest rumours is of higher taxes for the wealthy, or yet another tax raid on pensions. You know the very thing Gordon Brown is still mocked for?

I don't have the answers, but austerity certainly doesn't work, cutting spending on benefits, infrastructure investment will double the effect of a recession.

And then there's Brexit, which will kill off those companies that will survive the year.

Grim all round, and all so avoidable.

Yet, Boris ploughs on, towards the cliff edge.
