Matt Hancock is either a proposition to be believed or blatantly psychopathic – you must choose

The month was April 2020. No story appeared to be more heart-breaking in a sea of pandemic headlines than the tragic death of 13-year-old Covid patient Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, forced to die alone in a London hospital due to the cruel and thoroughly inhumane pandemic measures.

It was on one of those tedious press briefings to which we all became hooked that, promising something would be done to ensure no such horror would be visited upon another family, then-Health Secretary Matthew Hancock (who signed the rules off incidentally) burst into tears.

The lesson of this Covid Christmas farce is that sometimes rules have to write themselves

Who needs a pantomime this year! The public brouhaha over Covid Christmas rules; the ‘will they, won’t they’ and the constant cries of “they’re cancelling Christmas” have provided  quite enough theatrics for anyone.

Covid hysteria has sentenced us to psychological ruin – we must break free of its chains!

     

“Since we marched obediently into captivity last spring, we have turned servile. Look at us now, arguing about whether we should be in one tier of absurd limits on our lives, or another.”

Experts shouldn't be telling us how to run society – we need to use them more wisely

Let’s get one thing clear, I’m not an expert, thank God! That isn’t to say I’m particularly pleased not to be what traditionally passed for an expert – someone considered to be among the most knowledgeable on a subject.   I’m glad not to be a modern-day expert, namely someone who can apparently pronounce on new, evolving and unpredictable situations with such apparent precision that they can be deferred to as prophets of our times.

That’s exactly what the supposedly expert merchants of Covid doom do.

The Thursday clap-tacular must now be put out of its misery!

Who is going to be the one to bring the peculiar spectacle of clapping at the sky every Thursday at 8 pm. To an end? Whoever they are, I sincerely hope they hurry up.
