Day 223
Todays word: RESPAIR (16th century) Fresh hope, a recovery from despair
It’s a mess! What is you ask, well everything really. Now that’s got that out of the way! So a vaccine? 90% effective? Let’s hope so. Will it be free to all? In this country the answer is yes but what about countries that do not function with a NHS? Excuse my cynicism but I find it difficult to think a large American pharmaceutical company will release a vaccine for the biggest pandemic in our recent history for free? Fair play if they do but history shows that regardless of the situation profit is king! We shall see? You can bet if Trump is still in charge he would not step in to make them.
The bill has gone through parliament that takes away our right for freedom of travel in the EU. Of all the things that Brexit has caused this is the the one that angered me more than anything and that I am no longer a European citizen. My fundamental right has been removed. Now there are those who say travelling across EU borders won’t be much different but they are missing the point. Whats done is done and it won’t prevent us from travelling.
I find reporting these days particularly by the BBC, to be inept and about as hard hitting as a wet sponge! What a weak pathetic non confrontational bunch these current crop of journalists are. I don’t know if there is collusion and by that I mean the politicians have said they wont take interviews if they are going to be grilled? I know times are always changing but what has happened to those hard hitting reporters who did ask the tough questions and would not take no for an answer? Bring back Paxman!
Stay well
