There are certain things that are driving me nuts on social media at the moment.
- Comparing the pandemic to any world war, its not anywhere near as similar, I am fairly sure loads of people whinged about what was going on. They just didn’t have social media to amplify it.
2. Not blaming the government and blaming the public instead. Yes, there are some irresponsible aresholes, every country has them. But our media has done a hatchett job on blaming everyone other than the government, who as I explained in a previous post is very much to blame
3. Comparing us to islands such as New Zealand, its very different things like population, size of country etc.
4. Probably the most important one, not being able to say this sucks, without someone jumping on you telling you people have it worse, of course people bloody do, but that doesn’t stop you feeling like crap because you can’t do xyz.
Imagine being in Dachau!

I detest the Cenotaph event for the same reason. Sad people died but ceremony glamourises it.

I am not sure on that one, I must admit for a lot of people I know, its more remembering those who lost their lives on all sides of war. But I also prefer to do it in my own space.

Its the ceremonial I hate. The military music, the brightly colored uniforms (red to hide blood). Think of all the poems – “The Charge of the Light Brigade”. I mourn the dead but the glamour of ceremonial attracts young soldiers who proceed to lose life, limb or sanity in Afghanistan.

I haven’t hugged my eldest son since the end of July. It’s sad, but we can cope. The people whining on FB get me down and make me feel weird, so I’m not using it anymore

I have to admit I took a massive step back, when someone posted a meme saying don’t blame the government blame these people and then had a photo of various protestors. I get what they are saying but christ, if Cummings had been sacked along with some of the others that had broken the rules, maybe we would have been slightly more compliant. But nop, he is better than us.
