Pandemic is a scapegoat

Have you ever thought someone is having your pants down.

I say this because I've just been reading that the Test,Trace, and Isolate app, the one that's failed on so many things, has cost you and me over £35 billion.

That's more than it cost to construct the Channel Tunnel, work that one out?

Now that the test and trace app is working and pinging away like the Avon Lady on price work, a lot of Tory MPs want to turn it down or off.

It's like that TV series Chernobyl where those in charge wanted to turn down the Geiger counters after the explosion because they were pinging away like John Wayne with a Gatling gun.

There is a reason why our test and trace system is pinging away because there's a pandemic not a pingdemic and infections are going through the roof.

This all goes back to Boris Johnson not closing the borders to India so he could try get a Brexit deal done, and even his supporters are calling it the Johnson variant.

Everyone with a bit of common sense can see those empty shelves in the supermarkets is a consequence of Brexit.

Lorry drivers are tied up on the borders because of red tape, some refusing to come over here.

That's why we have a Brexit that is still nowhere near being finalised and the government and media is using the Covid pandemic as a convenient scapegoat.

Have a look around, the rest of Europe don't seem to have this problem?

Like the Russia of old we have a government that refuses to acknowledge reality and blames anybody but themselves.
