Choose your sides people. I watch the UK news every day, today’s bulletin is a story about how 250,000 school children have had to isolate at home because ‘only 9000’ of them were actually infected with Covid. Only! In the same bulletin, UK government has exempted business leaders from quarantine to go about their business. In the next story, conservative politicians were arguing to remove not only public health restrictions, but even the most basic social distancing such as 1 m distance between people, to ‘protect business’. These are the same people who will happily incinerate the planet by obstructing all action on climate change, to protect their regular flow of profits. At the same time, they use their rat cunning to get all of the working people they screw through their business interests, to vote for them by promising all of the things their business interests are actually taking away, like sovereignty and people’s livelihoods
