The sheeple are starting to annoy me now. Of course, it's not their fault. The media have whipped them up into an incredible state of fear. Many so much so that even when (if) they're offered their freedom back they'll refuse to accept it.
A good case in point came today with English football. The Premier League announced that they've pencilled in June 8th for the date when they'll begin to finish the 19/20 season. This was quickly followed by cries of "Noooo! it's not safe!!" on Twitter and elsewhere. With former player, now pundit Gary Neville being one of the chiefest cheerleaders.
Football fans. Begging that football remain cancelled. Very sad to see.
It's worth remembering that Twitter isn't a good reflection of the real mood out there in the country, but still, it was quite depressing to see so many comments demanding it be postponed until "this is over." Which will be never, as there will always be flu viruses.
As I'm about to finish writing this Boris is due to start giving his first speech proper since returning to the fore as PM. There have already been a few precursors on social media suggesting it'll be further endless lock down. So it's unlikely I'll be watching - much too depressing. I'll no doubt catch the important soundbites on social media as the evening progresses.
