March 5th, 2022. In a change from my usual political letters from the North, I thought I would relate my travels from Friday. With the gradual freeing up of the UK from restrictions I have managed to start returning to some semblance of normality and resume business meetings and visits.
The Prime Minister’s fear-mongering did this. She created a nation of terrified idiots incapable of rational thought and that is why she won’t remove the Covid edicts. Her rules and regulations are their security blankets. Eventually, someone has to rip off the plaster to see if the

As is grimly familiar with public health systems, some years ago the Tasmanian health system went through a round of “downsizing”. That is, sacking staff. The funny thing was, though, that while nurses and orderlies were first for the chop, the number of clipboard-tickers never seemed to diminish. This
The 1970s were the time of Britain’s infamous “Winter of Discontent”. Striking garbage collectors and even grave diggers causing massive piles of garbage in London’s streets and unburied bodies in cemeteries.
