Covid 19-the madness

 So here we are almost a year in since we first heard about covid 19 and we don't seem to be any further forward. After the mass protests of the great unwashed and ill educated in major cities across the UK and the rest of the world there appears to be a spike in cases. Whoda thunk it? Those bell ends will no doubt be the first to whinge they're now having restrictions placed on their lives when they've absolutely no right to.The latest statistics show that there are more people in hospital with covid 19 now than there were at the start of the pandemic back in March. The rest of civilized society managed to socially distance, wear masks, sanitize their hands and not break into Primark to steal 900 pairs of black leggings and a boob tube. The rest of us, the majority, are now having to sow what those twats reaped.

Pubs are closing again but i personally haven't missed them. I got used to supermarket prices and home measures. The first time i went to a pub after the first lockdown and asked for a small white wine i almost burst out laughing when it was given to me. Not because of the pathetic size of it but because it cost almost the same as a full bottle from Aldi. I've decided to counteract this and make my own pub in the garage. My other half thinks i'm crazy because he doesn't possess the gift of 'vision'. He's not blind he's just no George Clark. He went along with my idea anyway and that's why i love him. You know your'e with the right person when they come along for a ride on the crazy train and let you be mental central ticket for two.. We now have our own pub complete with bar, stools, table, inflatable sofa, cheap booze and no closing time at 10pm. I've also turned our garden shed into my little escape zone. I have comfy chairs, a rug, books, cd player, prosecco, twinkly lights and a rage pillow. I have christened my girl cave 'The lady garden-shed'. Anyone can come and have a look at my lady garden. I can highly recommend. My trip advisor status would read 'very tidy lady garden, small tight area with a welcoming front hatch'. Five stars.

I think one of  the worst things about the whole lockdown process and limitations on our lives is the sheer boredom. My OCD has meant that i have been getting on my own nerves since March. I suppose i'm lucky that i have my daughters, my husband and my dogs that all think they live in an all inclusive resort. When clap for carers starts again they'd better all be outside clapping for me. Hence the rage pillow.

Boris's latest is placing England on a tier system. Low, medium, high and very high. I'm in a medium area but my parents are in a high zone so the only way i can see them in person is in an open outside space. My mum and dad are almost 70 years old so the last thing i want to do is meet them outside in the freezing cold winter where they could catch flu. Soon there'll be more tiers than a Kardashian wedding cake. Why doesn't the government just paint a big red cross on everyone's front door who tests positive and be done with it. Old skool plague outing rather than pissing about with different tiers and zones.

Pubs are closing again but gyms are staying open. WTAF? I have never been to a pub and been on the receiving end of a strangers' sweat in my eyes, nor have i ever stood at a bar and witnessed some blokes cum face while i've sipped on my pimms. If i wanted to see that kind of thing i'd become an MP. Hospitality has taken a real hammering these past few months and i doubt it will get back on track within the next 5 years or so. People are losing their jobs, their livelihoods, their homes and their minds. Just behave yourselves people. If your'e told to adhere to lockdown rules do it. Most recently Liverpool has been put in lockdown and in the very high category. Like good citizens there's been barely a grumble. Sure, it's shit but they get it. The scousers have got it right. Manchester, however is behaving like a collective Gallagher brother and strutting around demanding money with menaces from the government. Not all of them, granted, but the ones with voices who don't represent everyone. Everybody is in the same boat financially and mentally. That boat is not an all expenses paid cruise liner. It's a dodgy second hand canoe at best that looks set to capsize. Sir Keir Starmer who represents the working mans' party is treating the pandemic like a political point scoring exercise. It's easy to sit in your ivory tower and finger point when you've got a knighthood, money and a massive house. Sir Keir Starmer KCB QC MP describes himself as a socialist so he'd be alright for a sub. I wonder how he'd react if Dave from Barnsley who has lost his job and his house turned up at his palatial home and claimed collective or common ownership. The only letters Dave has after his name are CCJ.

It's simple people of the United Kingdom, do as your'e told or this pandemic will end in tiers.
