Brexit and Covid-19 on my mind.

The dust has finally settled.

Britain, at the end of the first year of the new decade, resembles a war zone.

The shops are boarded up as a result of its inability to compete globally, the supermarket shelves are empty and no one is even pretending anymore.

Our waters are polluted with our sewage. Something which was brought to us by the Conservative government, who voted to have the utility companies dump our shit into the river Thames and elsewhere throughout the kingdom.

Our hospitals have begun to look like the depleted medical centers in Aleppo, Syria and Sana’a in Yemen, with Covid patients overrunning our beloved National Health Service (NHS). Cancer patients have been left to their fate, owing to our well publicized struggles with Covid emergencies.

It doesn’t matter that it is the Omicron strain of the deadly virus wreaking havoc in Britain, at the moment. It could be Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gammon, Lamba or anything else for all we care. What we do know is that our lives are being ripped apart in ways that we have never seen before and we all plumbing depths of despair and despondency.
