I'm getting a little pissed off with all the criticism toward the government at the moment. I am no fan of the Tory party nor any of the leaders of any of the political parties to be honest, but as I have catalogued here over the last year there can be no doubt of the reasons behind our high infection rates - and subsequent death rate.
I picked my wife up from work on Monday as it was freezing and she has to walk about a mile and a half to get home. Between here and her work place I must have seen 200 joggers. As there was still remnants of the weekend's snow and that it was also pissing down, most of them were not running on Clapham Common (too muddy) but on the pathway around it. They were in bunches of 6+ joggers almost shoulder barging the pedestrians as they passed them. Now, the criticism of the government is they are not tough enough but these people are just stretching rules to beyond breaking point while staying within them.
Another thing that gets me about the media's reporting of lockdown "violations" is that none of the journalists report on each other. They are all for outing MPs, policement, even doctors occasionally. But never, so it seems, has a journalist ever done a thing wrong. I find that very hard to believe.
Rant over.
