Have we forgotten Boris’ chaotic Covid mistakes?
IT takes a lot to shock me these days but the parade of Tory MPs in the press recently has managed it!
They claim that the public (that’s us) knew that our Prime Minister was a barefaced liar when he was elected and because of that we don’t mind if he lies about who paid for his girlfriend’s decorations and that he didn’t say “let the bodies stack up”.
Apparently we don’t mind if the political leader of Great Britain is a liar! I wonder if they are correct.
Granted we are doing well with the vaccine roll-out but this was more by good luck than good judgement and is it enough when stacked against all the examples of sleazy incompetence?
Have we forgotten about 140,000 deaths? Have we forgotten the chaos and that the PPE scandal cost lives?
No wonder our Prime Minister and his gang will not sanction an independent inquiry into their handling of the pandemic!
Publish Covid figures
IT’S high time Kirklees Council gave true figures to the taxpayers. It’s easy to lump everyone together under the name of Kirklees, but I would think most people want to know what the level of Covid is in Huddersfield or Dewsbury, Batley or Heckmondwyke.
Is the Covid virus found more in Ravensthorpe or Mirfield?
It’s high time these figures were published but I suppose that’s too much like hard work for the council.
A Library Ticket
I’VE travelled the wide world over, met authors, poets and composers.
I’ve seen kings and queens, on their islands of dreams, with their legends and sweet memorabilia.
I’ve travelled to countries far, far away, seen beautiful mountains and lochs.
All with a library ticket – to a wonderful world of books.
Apology to readers...
APOLOGIES to all readers for being suckered into an unnecessary exchange of letters about a number.
I should have known better! My sarcastic response to Mr. Schofield’s original letter (April 2) was a challenge to his absurd opinion that January’s trade figures were indicative of a wider international problem, and not one specific to the UK. He ignored my argument and changed the subject, ignoratio elenchi!
A fanatical Brexiteer, Mr. Schofield doesn’t want to own the real life problems Brexit is creating.
He loathes those that hold him to account and he refuses to apologise publicly, even when he offends a recently bereaved “Remainer”.
Inevitably, in time it will be the realists that ameliorate the problems created by Brexit, not the fantasists that sold Brexit to the nation. Fantasists claimed Hydroxychloroquine cured Covid despite all the evidence to the contrary, fools that believed a conspiracy theory over science, remember them, Mr. Corcoran?
