5 September - Before we were a nation of scaredy cats!
Maybe
I follow the wrong social media accounts but it seems to me that at this late
stage in the Covid business that most people regard the government imposed
tyranny as being well over the top and indisputedly muddled and illogical.
Life is not risk free and only because most of us are law abiding citizens are we wearing
masks in shops or on near empty trains. The resentment against power crazed politicians is
building and this government masquerading as Conservative is very lucky indeed to have so far
faced only a pathetic opposition.
This is not the first Corona crisis I have lived through. I was at school when
the Asian Flu struck in 1958. Nine million of us went down with it and 14,000 died.
As far as I can remember no one took a blind bit of notice but it is historically
reported that around 110,000 London school children were off sick. As is the
case now the school authorities got a bit jumpy.
But not all that jumpy as the document below may indicate.
My parents were supposed to certify that I was bug free before I was allowed back into
school. From the look of it they didn’t bother.
We were made of sterner stuff back then. Many of us still are, with of course the exception
of the low grade politicians who have wormed their way into power and seek to control our every movement.
