‘Devastating plague’ is actually a bad flu year

“THERE is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks... has any potential benefit. There’s some evidence to suggest the opposite.”
(Comments attributed to Mike Ryan, executive director , World Health Organisation, March 31.) The WHO has admitted that its recent policy reversal is “due to political lobbying”.
I can see why. The politicians and news channels that bought into this fearfest risk their rhetoric being exposed for the nonsense it always was and wish to avoid being held accountable for the economic ruin that they have set in train. Their ‘devastating plague’ has turned out to be just a bad flu year. This is despite their best attempts to fiddle the figures while pretending that the great majority of deaths were entirely due to the virus rather than the life-threatening conditions most already suffered from. (The real cruelty is that many who would not have died but for the neglect caused by the reorientation of the NHS will be assumed to have died of the virus.)
Come this weekend we will have to wear a mask when shopping but not in the gym, the pub or the restaurant. Cash is risky allegedly but using the card machine to type in your PIN number after numerous others have used it is okay. Who with half a brain is persuaded by any of this nonsense?
We are well on the way to emulating the kind of totalitarian Chinese Communism we are encouraged to despise. The next phase will be to encourage the ‘true believers’ to pressure the non-conformists and to inform on them. All this is happening under a Tory Primeminister
who is an avowed admirer of Churchill while the Left accuse him of not going far enough!
God help us.
Sorry but I will be shopping elsewhere
AS someone who has lived the whole of my life In Huddersfield I feel the need to comment about the present state of the town centre.
I am sure Kirklees meant well when they abandoned charges for parking in the town, however, of course, all the short term parking is now full all the time, presumably with the cars of town centre shop workers waiting in vain for customers who cannot find anywhere to park.
The new road closures are making thing even worse.
I ‘popped in’ for a few things today – nowhere to park. Drive up St Peters Street, unable then to get down Church Street (side of Wetherspoons) but have to continue up to the top ring road and drive all the way around town to get back in again. It’s complete madness, I guess the Kirklees person who devised this scheme is a pedestrian!
So, that’s me done, I want to park in town centre to shop, ‘shopping’ for me is lots of packages I don’t want to carry far, and I have no intention of travelling by bus with my shopping.
I wish Kirklees much success with their Blueprint and hope the open spaces. As far as shops go I don’t think there will be many left in Huddersfield in a couple of years so we shoppers need to start taking our money elsewhere now.
