Boris,you Muppet!
CORONAVIRUS might be a virus that affects the lungs but with this Government running things it’s your head that explodes.
Statistically, I am more likely to get infected in a Leicester supermarket than I am in Ibiza but, hey, guess which one is now banned?
Cancel culture has finally done for the summer. Bozza and his confused.com crew have changed the rules on foreign travel overnight, literally lumbering thousands of hard working Brits with an enforced twoweek/10 days (delete as and when the muppet show make up their minds) quarantine when they return.
All right for those like Transport Minister Grant Shapps (who has cut short his own Spanish holiday), who can not only do their jobs from home but also still get paid.
But what about all the manual workers and selfemployed who simply can’t afford to take another two weeks off. For so many people no work means no food on the table for the kids.
Who seriously thinks they are going to quarantine? And, even more insanely, who thinks anyone in “authority” is going to even check up on them?
True to these nasty, sneering, holier-thanthou times though the Stay Home Stasi have already started hissing that anyone who dared go to the end of their road, let along Benidorm, are selfish oafs who not only deserve to get coronavirus but have forfeited any right to NHS treatment too.
Oh, do shut the hell up. We all need a break from the unrelenting apocalypse that is 2020.
I don’t blame a single person for getting on a plane and jetting away for some sunshine, especially to a country that has a lower infection rate than we do.
Yes, it would be brilliant if we could all “staycation” and invest in the dying-on-itsbum British economy, but have you seen the prices for a holiday at home? Seriously, it’s an arm and a leg for a leaky, wind-battered caravan in Scunthorpe and that’s only if you can find one available. The UK is fully booked. One week in a Cornish hotel is three times the price of a fortnight on the Costa del Sol and that’s before you take into account the £20 for a cream tea. And don’t forget the locals in beauty spots are so terrified of townies’ germs they’d run you through with a pitchfork as much as look at you. Then there’s the weather…
Still, on the upside, staying at home in August means you get to take advantage of Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s £10 off a meal scheme. Though even the small pleasure of this is taken away by the dire warnings that we all need to lose weight before autumn or a potential second wave will get us. Oh, and the other good news is that Boris is going to personally fix your bike (or something like that) provided you cycle everywhere. Which makes taking two kids, three suitcases and your dog to Devon an interesting proposition but, hey, just remember to wear a mask, OK?
Truth is that the fitter, healthier and happier you are the better your chances of fighting off most lurgies. So whatever you’re doing this summer, try to have the best time you can and remember that the Balearics aren’t just a group of islands off Spain.
It’s also what politicians speak.
SOMEONE called Wiley went on a marathon antisemitic online rant this week. It was curious, though, how some of those Antifa types who were – rightly – so vocal during recent Black Lives Matter events were a bit quieter on this. Racism is racism. It’s equally evil, surely?
