12 October (Part 1) - The Torygraph and the Whitless

You know when the buffoon in Downing Street has lost the plot blindly following the worst of advice when a traditionally Conservative supporting newspaper publishes the most devastating cartoons that attack him without mercy.

The Telegraph Letters page has moved from printing criticism enlightened by one contrary view, to 100% savage criticism.

It is easy to seek out a wide variety of scientific views on how to deal with a virus that is killing about 50 people a day but the Bozo will only follow the discredited advice and falsified statistics from people whose motive can only be covering up their past failures. Who in their right mind repeats policies of six months ago? Lockdown, ease off, deaths rise to about one twentieth of what they were six months ago. Repeat Ad Infinitum.

Eventually we will all get the bug just as we have all been getting influenza from time to time, vaccine taken or not.

And then there is the terrifying prospect of the creeping Police State. Life changing fines without any right of appeal on the whim of a Council jobsworth.

I appreciate that birds of a feather will hang out together but I cannot find anyone who supports the presumably rogue opinion polls which suggest around 70% of the population wants a renewed total lockdown. Maybe they think it will only affect other people.

Checking around 25 people in my circle I can find two who take a stronger line on masks than the others and are willing to be busybodies who accost other shoppers in supermarkets. The others ‘polled’ recoil in horror but admit to wearing a mask only to comply with the rules and for no other reason.
