Grandparents won’t fall for Nicola’s video nasty
THE Scottish Government has made one of the nastiest propaganda films I have seen outside a tyranny. It shows an attractive young woman making a cup of tea for a man who is presumably her grandfather.
But horror- movie music and disturbing special effects twist this innocent, kindly act into an evil murder.
The woman (who, wicked thing, has dared to spend an evening of fun with friends) is contaminated by the hated virus.
The watcher sees her spreading slimy greenish handprints all over kitchen and kettle, then sees her face smeared with diseased muck, which she carelessly transfers to her grandparent, who innocently thanks her for the ‘lovely cup of tea’.
Implication: the deluded old fool will die because of her cruel carelessness.
The Scottish Government says this poison was aimed at the ‘non-compliant’ and is an ‘impactful and memorable way to remind them of the very real risks the virus poses’.
Well, this is all bilge. Grandparents aren’t stupid or deluded.
Many of us would rather see our grandchildren in the years we have left than cower at their approach, or hide away from them.
Young people are mostly very responsible and probably take the Covid precautions too seriously. And then there’s this.
Covid-19 very seldom kills healthy people, young or old. Its victims are overwhelmingly both very old and suffering from severe underlying conditions.
As such, they are much more likely to be killed by the Government dumping them in an ill-protected care home than they are to be murdered by their feckless grandchildren. Make a film about that, why don’t you, Nicola Sturgeon, instead of trying to turn happy families against each other?
