The following are not valid reasons to stop me from making constructive suggestions to this Government


Dear Tory friends and Tory trolls
I am trying to prevent people dying by making constructive suggestions as to how the likely future death toll could be reduced.
The following are not valid reasons to stop me trying to do this
  1. Boris Johnson is trying his best. He has been working hard ever since he became Prime Minister (He hasn't)
  2. There's a picture of BJ looking a bit wrecked from 18 years ago.(and your point is...?)
  3. No-one foresaw this epidemic (They did).
  4. He is following the science. (He is not, SAGE is secret and infected by Dominic Cummings and has been attended by Cummings associates with commercial interests. Science involves publishing results so that other scientists can comment).
  5. Other Governments would have done just as badly. (Not if they hadn't run down stocks of PPE).
  6. We should not compare with other countries (like the UK Government did until the comparisons became embarrassing)
  7. Many other Governments around the world are doing just as badly, (They aren't)
  8. BJ has had coronavirus himself. (He infected himself and probably others, weakened the hygiene message, and by his example - that shaking hands was ok - has probably caused many more deaths).
  9.  Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who, this is supposed to be a happy occasion". (Michael Palin's character)  
  10. BJ has just had a baby, see point 9
  11. The guidance is clear. (Have a look at the Tories who have contradicted themselves explaining it).
  12. "I just love him" (That's your problem)
  13.  "But he has a cheeky grin". (These are actual quotes, I'm not making this up).
  14. "He's not as bad as Trump." (Ok, you're saying he might be only the second-worst leader?)
  15.  "This is not the time" (So we should wait until there have been hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths before suggesting improvements? See The Independent May 13th)
  16. He is our appointed leader and we should obey him (Yes we'll stay within the law, but that doesn't mean we cannot make constructive suggestions; this is not North Korea)
  17. The Government is all working together. (See my YouTube below)
  18. He is inspiring and people will follow his lead. (There is some truth in this, and so he should be leading us in the right direction).
  19. His heart is in the right place and we know that he has the good of the country as his first priority (We know from his actions and appointments that he ignores Conflicts of Interest)
  20. We can trust Boris Johnson. (He is the most deceitful Prime Minister in my lifetime, and we all know he cannot sue anyone who says that about him - it is objectively provable).

A worldwide pandemic was inevitable - and predicted. Going into it with a totally unsuitable leader was a choice foisted on us by 29% of the electorate.
I hope the man rapidly goes on to doing what he most enjoys, making up fairy stories to earn large amounts of money. Or just retires to spend more time with his families.
But until then, no I will not stop making suggestions as to how this could be managed better. See my analysis and my recommendations,

Meaty First Caller - "Indian variant" B1617 - transcript of Mike Cashman on BBC Radio 4 Any Answers 15 May 2021

  Anita   Anand ( 00:00 ): Let’s start with the news of the Indian variant, the announcement that we've got to go carefully at five o'clock yesterday, Michael Cashman. You're our first caller on this. What did you make of it all? Mike Cashman   ( 00:11 ): Hallo there Anita, I wish that people who spoke about this on the radio understood the maths. We've had both the prime minister and Niall Ferguson saying it's relatively small numbers - and the Prime Minister actually saying, if we saw exponential growth, then we would have to do something about it. We are seeing exponential growth, now. It's tripling each week is what we've seen, Now the government is wrong to block surge vaccination in Blackburn, Bolton, and so on, because that could have a real impact. And you know, I've heard people say, “Oh well, but the vaccine takes three weeks to take effect”; Anita I'll give you a statistic. If it's tripling every week, then in five weeks, it mult

9 reasons why I as a Christian, am in favour of remaining in the EU, and opposing the current Brexit path

9 reasons why I as a Christian, am in favour of remaining in the EU, and opposing the current Brexit path (4000 words) INTRODUCTION There are a number of reasons why my Christian Faith leads me to support remaining in the European Union. Of course it’s right to respect that other Christians support Leave, and I have sought to understand their views. It’s reasonable to say that membership of the EU or not is a means to various ends, and people may disagree as to how remaining or leaving would fulfil those ends. This is a practical question; Leave or Remain is not an issue where one answer or the other is intrinsically moral or immoral. I have searched online and have not found much written that covers my nine main reasons, listed below – hence this article. I would be interested in responses, particularly from Christians who support Leave. This is a personal view. But it represents a strong conviction. I  am not denying that others may have different opinions, but I do have

Covid situation in India tragically illustrates the impact of "taking it on the chin"

  The Covid situation is India is a humanitarian tragedy, I hope the UK  can help further. The DEC Coronavirus appeal has been extended to cover India The situation is also, if we needed one, an illustration of what could have been the impact in the UK  of “letting the virus move through the population” , “taking it on the chin”,  and of not locking down while other countries do so, to avoid (in the words of Johnson’s Greenwich speech), going “beyond what is medically rational to the point of doing real and unnecessary economic damage”. There is debate as to whether Johnson shouted “let the bodies pile high in their thousands”  and thereby demonstrated a lack of empathy with the bereaved and a lack of caring as to how many would die. But after three fatal decisions to delay lockdowns, and after his refusal to meet families of the bereaved, there can be little doubt about the lack of empathy, or of his continued  inclination towards an approach that would have led to a disaster whic
