UK: Vaccines save lives

Vaccines save lives. Full stop. 

It took some time to persuade racial and ethnic minorities in the United Kingdom for them to accept to be vaccinated against Covid-19 and its variants. Because of their reluctance to take vaccines, Blacks, Asians and other groups had the highest rate of mortality in the United Kingdom. Prejudice, stupid beliefs and mythology led them to reject a basic safety measure to keep themselves alive.

Nowadays, despite the fact that many people of all races and ethnic backgrounds continue to reject vaccination,. more and more people are taking vaccines and the numbers clearly show that it is working.

Slow, a Labour authority, went bankrupt

 

When the Labour Party talks about doing this and doing that, people should ask themselves about how they are going to do it. This is not news. A loophole of £100 million Pound in the finances of the Council in Slow? We are not anti-Labour. We are anti-mismanagement. With a 300 votes the Labour Party managed to keep the seat in Batley and Spen. Has anybody asked about the local authority in Batley and Spen that the Labour Party lost control of? 

When you listen to Labour politicians they are all very quick to blame the government because things are not done, but where are the resources to do what they want to do going to come from? Imagine Britain being managed by the Labour Party in the same way that they managed the Council in Slow. It wouldn't be just a case of a Labour authority going backrupt. It would the country as a whole going bankrupt. Have we been here before? 

We know that Britain has to go back to work full blast to recover from the consequences of the pandemic and of the measures that had to be implemented to deal with the pandemic.Hopefully, from July 19th 2021 onwards, Britain will be going back to work full blast. Hopefully, as the economy gets back on its feet local authorities will once again start getting the resources that they need not to go bankrupt, but we need sound management of public finances.

So some foreign countries would not allow free transit of British citizens. So what? Have you looked at the state of internal British tourism? If you cannot go abroad, move around Britain. Get to know your own country and support local British tourism keeping and promoting employment in the United Kingdom. I look at pricing when it comes to public transport in Britain. We need to lower down railway travelling fares. We need to lower down airlines travelling fares inside the Unite Kingdom to allow people in Britain to travel more inside Britain and re-activate the economy in Britain to produce the tax monies that we need to help local authorities to deliver services in Britain that people desperately need. 

Dominic Cummings: Whistleblower or Spiteful man seeking revenge no matter what?

 

For months on end, the Opposition targetted Dominic Cummings identifying him as the source of all evil in the British government. Mr. Cummings was pictured and depicted in the most negative manner, harassed by journalists and lots of ink was spread about him being the worst of the worst. They even laughed when he presumably was infected with Covid-19.

Months passed and one day Dominic Cummings was fired by the Conservative goverment. The Opposition celebrated. Finally, they had got their man and he was out of government. Such an evil influence he had been! Now, months later after he was fired, he has now been made the centre of attention because he is saying exactly what the Opposition wants him to say to attack the Conservative government.

But wait a minute! Mr. Cummings is saying that he knew that lives were being put at risk and chose to stay in government, keeping his mouth shut while thousands were dying? So here comes the fact. If what he says is true, then Mr Cummings is guilty as hell for being part of a lethal cover up and criminal charges should be raised against him for being an accomplice of serious crimes. He says that he knew that lives were being put in danger and chose to remain silent until when? Until he was fired. Only months after he was fired he calculated that it was then the time to talk and reveal all. This stinks as the cold blooded maneuvers of a political manipulator that knows which buttons to press to get things his way.

The Opposition has been a disgrace, failing to carry out proper opposition, focusing on scandals instead of promoting viable alternatives and now the Opposition - once again - is not offering the kind of choices that ordinary voters want to hear about. What is the reality of it all? Britain is coming out of Lockdown. The economy is starting to pick up speed and moving in the right direction. The country is once again open for business and business is what Britain is about. 

Do I trust the present Opposition? The previous Shadow Cabinet was a shambles with various examples of sheer incompetence and then came yet another reshuffle very much like a game of chairs. The grass roots of the Labour Party, elected representatives of the Labour Party, are publicly saying that they don't know what the Labour Party stands for, that they don't have a clue about what the Labour Party stands for. People were joking about the demotion of the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party that was given so many attributions as compensation for her demotion that she might have become a risk for the Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer.

Things are so bad, the Labour MPs who are still loyal to the previous Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn even with that the Labour Party does badly in the Batley and Spen by-election due to take place in July as a way to get rid of Keir Starmer. Is using what Mr Cummings is saying - regardless of it being true or false - a way to divert attention from the miserable state the Opposition is in?

The disconnect between the Labour Party and its supporters is plainly obvious. In Batley and Spen, a community with a vast presence of people of Pakistani and Indian descent (16.9% Pakistani and 15.9% Indian) where Labour has had a majority since 1997, 60% per cent of voters voted for Brexit. The London centric Labour Party seems to be ignoring the will of its supporters all along. They ignored the will of voters in Hartlepool and were routed by the Conservative Party. Wil they seek to ignore the will of voters once again in Batley and Spen? 

I understand why the Opposition is trying to find some alternative narrative to motivate voters to come out and vote for them. If Kim Leadbeater really want to win the seat in Batley and Spen she might be well advised to put some distance between herself and the Parliamentary Labour Party, between herself and the leadership of the Labour Party, and to choose to fight the election on purely local issues. Keir Starmer position on geopolitical issues might not carry the favour of people who are predominantly Muslim. Some die-hard Remain stances might not be very favourable either. 

 

Ursula von der Leyen muss weg

 

To say that Ursula von der Leyen was incompetent as German Defense Secretary and has been incompetent as appointed President of the European Commission would be a gross understatement.

She started by making a mess in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland by going against established EU policies and later backtracking when she was bombarded with criticisms, including criticisms expressed by the German mass media. Shge managed to unite Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland against her.

With regards to the fight against Covid-19, she hasn't been on top of her brief and has stood paralized while EU countries stopped acting as EU countries and went against each other. Austria is leading a group of six EU countries that want to have access to Russian vaccines and Germany has now joined them while France and others remain stuck with rising number of infections, hospitals that cannot cope with the number of cases and rising deaths leading to further quarentine measures.

The latest chapter was the embarrassment during a meeting in Turkey. She allowed herself to be sidelines and later complained saying that she had been sidelined. She doesn't have the guts to act on the spot. Is she really the President of the European Commission? If she is the President of the European Commission she should start acting as the President of the European Commission. If she doesn't have what it takes to be the boss, she should put herself aside and allow somebody else to be the boss.

The office of President of the European Commission is being downgraded, the EU project is being downgraded, and her former boss Angela Merkel is doing no better. Hesitation, gigantic errors of judgment, followed by meaningless apologies that give way to more hesitation, more gigantic errors of judgment, followed by more meaningless apologies. Angela Merkel no longer has what it takes to be leader and voters are turning against CDU/CSU across Germany, election after election. Time for change, but what will replace them? The very authority of the German Chancellor as now former party leader - she had to resign the leadership of CDU to remain in power until the next German Federal Election - is being challenged by members of her own party. She had to come out and threaten members of her own party that were found working with Alternative fur Deutschland in several regions.

To sum up, a mess in Germany and a mess in the European Union. 

Extinction Rebellion: yet more disruption as if we hadn't had enough disruption

Diane Abbott MP's participation during a LBC radio programme became legendary when having been asked how much money was going to be necessary to increase the number of Police officers she gave a figure that would have been the equivalent of spending £10 per Police officer.  

Since then, the Labour MP has complained that she has suffered torrents of abuse during her political career. When she was asked on radio, pressed for time, she gave a figure from the top of her head because she hadn't actually calculated beforehand how much it would be necessary to recruit Police officers that the Labour Party had been talking about for so long in Parliament and outside Parliament when criticizing Conservative governments past and present.

Policing rallies and demonstrations, enforcing Lockdown meaures and dealing with chaos and disorder while protecting public and private property does not come cheap. Police officers that would normally be carrying out regular duties have to be concentrated in big numbers on the streets to prevent public disorder and to deal with cases of violence when violence unavoidably erupts. Extra hours are piled up and all the monies invested in big deployments, arrests and legal proceedings consume even faster a very tight Police budget. As if the number of rallies and demonstrations we have been dealing with was not enough, the news kids on the block - Extinction Rebellion - are now threatening us with further actions and this time focusing on banking institutions. You can bet that, yet again, sizeable amounts of money will be taken out of the Police budget to prevent disorder and to deal with unavoidable confrontations on the streets. As we come out of the quarentine imposed to deal with a pandemic, and as numbers of peoples walking around rise, spring and summer don't look like seasons of the year that you will be able to enjoy, but more as seasons of the year that you will have to suffer thanks to people who believe that generating chaos and disorder they are promoting a healthier environment.

As new legislation is being introduced to tackle disorder, the very same people whose actions serve to justify the passing of stricter legislation are once again creating chaos on the streets and are now going to be joined by the new kids on the block and by other individuals who couldn't care less about any cause and are only around to engage in disreputable behaviour including violence and destruction of public and private property. As always, policing and clean up operations will be paid for by Joe Public.

Council Tax letters were already sent by local authorities including increases of the fees house owners have to pay at a time when local authorities are under additional financial stress, party because of the pandemic, partly because of expenses that rise year on year. So, less money for Police services and less monies for local services delibered by local authorities and this at a time when the Treasury is struggling with vast amounts of borrowing to deal with the pandemic and to protect peoples' jobs. Furlough schemes are basically state subsidies to support those who have lost their income and to keep those who are still working at work.

Any actions that could undermine the operations of vital financial services are a direct attack against the United Kingdom. Such actions can be said to be carried out to promote a healthier environment, but are the de-facto acts of terrorism at a time when the country is slowly, but surely heading towards relative normality. This is a time when we should be supporting the creation of new jobs. Extinction Rebellion doesn't care about jobs and this is also a way to say that Extinction Rebellion could not care less about millions of families in the United Kingdom that have lost their incomes or are struggling to survive with reduced incomes.

Covid-19 and vaccines: what we know and what we don't know

 

When it comes to vaccination, it is self-evident that not everybody reacts in the same way. On the one hand, vaccines are different. Using as an example one AstraZeneca vaccine and one Pfizer vaccine (I say 'one' because laboratories are already working on newer versions of existing vaccines due to the fact that the virus keeps mutating), the strategies to build immunity are different.

On the other hand, each individual to be vaccinated has specific characteristics that make him or her more or less vulnerable to reactions and secondary effects. 

Therefore, when faced with infections, we react differentely. When vaccinated, we react differently. Because of all the things that we don't know, we all need as much reassurance as possible to make the right decisions. 

One particular scenario has to do with the clinical history of an individual. If a given substance can trigger anaphylatic reactions - for example - then giving such substance to an individual that has a history of allergies and anaphylatic reactions cannot be without understanding the potential of serious or even lethal effects.

We hear descriptions of different variants of the same virus. We hear about the level of transmision, and virulence. He hear about the number of those seriously ill and we hear about the number of deaths. This is all about statistics. Statistics are about numbers and percentages, but they do little to reassure us about any particular case. 

Every day, we tune in to hear about decisions being made that affect us all. Nobody can avoid being affected either by the immediate realities of dealing with Covid-19 or the consequences of the measures put in place to tackle the pandemic. All the complexities of the situations created by Covid-19 and the measures implemented to tackle the pandemic come on top of all the problems we had to deal with before the pandemic started. The is uncertainty when it comes to physical health, mental health and financial health. 

There was life before the pandemic. There is life during the pandemic. There is going to be life after the pandemic. But there are several questions that are extremely relevant. What kind of life is it going to be? how will we behave after the pandemic? How will what is happening now affect our behaviour and our expectations? 

For many of us, including myself, the arrival of Spring followed by Summer doesn't feel the same as before. I used to look forward to the longer hours of dailight that came together with a load of optimism. Nowadays, if feels more like Doomsday. I look at my family and think about their prospects and I feel intense emotional pain.

We have vaccines and there are more vaccines in the horizon to tackle Covid-19 and its variants, but the one vaccine that we don't have is the vaccine against the pain, the suffering and the feelings of loss. I reckon that I am not alone. The pain, the suffering and the feelings of loss are throwing a growing number of people over the edge. A 280% increase of the number of mental health cases was reported. When before we used to talk about rising number of cases of social isolation, now we have to add the number of those who are unable to cope and are losing the will to stay alive.

Something fundamental will have to change. The Rat Race is not the solution. The Rat Race is very much part of the problem. The Rat Race has led to isolation and social dysfunction. We need to learn to live a different life that is not driven by the Rat Race. 

 

Covid-19: Walk. Don't run. We do need a health MOT.

The fact that people are being vaccinated and that more than 15 million people living in the United Kingdom have received the first doses of several vaccines used doesn't change the fact that the NHS is still working over-capacity with many thousands of patients that require special treatment to keep those seriously affected by Covid-19 alive.

We should not be overly pessimistic, but we shouldn't be overly optimistic either. I am fully aware of the damage done to the economy and of the negative repercussions of the quarantine measures put in place to prevent the spread of the disease. Other diseases have gone untreated. The number of those suffering from some form of mental illness has skyrocketted. 

The idea of implementing better coordination of different services within the so called Welfare State could be one of the best ideas being considered. NHS, Social Services, the services that care of old and the disabled, and every other branch of the Welfare State need to work together.

For a very long time, we have cared more about the transit of animals, plants and minerals in and out of the country than about the transit of human beings that can carry diseases with them. For many years, animals brought into the country have gone into quarantine to ensure that they were healthy enough to be allowed in. For far too long, any human being coming from abroad could enter the country freely without any health checks to protect public health. What Covid-19 has done is to prove how foolish we have been. A virus coming from China has killed more than 100,000 people in the United Kingdom. Cars have MOT. Why shouldn't human beings have some form of health MOT to prove that they do not constitute a risk for the rest of the population?

Covid-19 didn't exist in the United Kingdom. It was brought in via ports of entry (Airports, Harbours, Railway Stations). There should have been sanitary controls at each port of entry. The sanitary controls established because of Covid-19 should become the norm and be enforced to prevent any future catastrophe.

 

 

Ursula von der Leyen: A disaster as German Defense Secretary and a disaster as President of the European Commission

 

Ursula von der Leyen: Incompetent as German Defense Secretary and incompetent as President of the European Commission

She made the wrong calls when it came to the German Armed Forces and made much of the German Air Force non operational with fighting jets grounded and German helicopter pilots losing their licenses because of lack of flying hours. She is pretty bad news for Germany and is now pretty bad news for the European Union.

She was literally appointed as President of the European Commission thanks to a deal between Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron and has proved to be a disaster. Single-handedly she has brought the European Union into disrepute with a decision that embarrassed the European Union forcing the European Union to apologize to the United Kingdom when she threatened to cut supplies of vaccines to Northern Ireland. She was widely critized inside and outside Germany. She managed to united Loyalists and Unionists in Northern Ireland against her. She managed to ellicit angry responses from the German press both in Germany and outside Germany. She is an absolute and dangerous embarrassment. Successor to Angela Merkel? God help Germany is that is the case.

EU: from the very beginning the aim has been to destroy the United Kingdom

A strong and united United Kingdom was seen as a threat to the European Union from the very beginning. Why? Because the United Kingdom has been for centuries an independent driving force that has stood firm against European Totalitarian regimes. Therefore, to assert EU power they sought to dismantle the United Kingdom and they called the plan 'Europe of Regions'. Without stable government to defend national interests, nation states would vanish. It is all about power and control.

Unhappy because they couldn't get away with their plans to control British waters, they fomented internal divisions in the United Kingdom. As if this wasn't enough, the EU seeks to effectively partition the United Kingdom. Whether you talk about Scotland or Northern Ireland, the EU plan is clearly visible. 

In the midst of a Covid-19 pandemic, what does the EU do? They threaten to ban exports of vaccines to the United Kingdom. If this wasn't enough, they use treaties to prevent Britain from having access to vaccines. This is an act of war against the United Kingdom at a time when British health facilities are overcrowded with people suffering from a viral infection and thousands are dying practically on a daily basis. The EU will use whatever tool there is available to attack the United Kingdom.

Getting out of the European Union was one of the most important steps to ensure the survival of the United Kingdom as a nation state and like all Totalitarian regimes the European Union will seek to punish the United Kingdom for daring to assert its independence.

From Covid-19 to B117: This could be like the plague that killed 50% of the population of Europe

From Covid-19 to B117. 70 per cent more contagious and more than 30 per cent more deadly. We are flowered. More than 25 per cent of those who recover will die within five months because of the damage done by the virus to vital organs.

Since no country can exist under a permanent Lockdown, financial collapse will follow leading to riots and revolutions that will destroy any democratic form of government.

This is Das Ende. If you live in an area of the world where the pandemic is not an imminent danger coming to Developed World is the equivalent of committing suicide. Refugees and illegal imigrants are effectively migrating to die a most horrible death in the Developed World.

Covid-19: Siege without end?

With all transport in and out of the country practically blocked, Britain faces what looks like constant crisis and in the meantime the public debt and the private debt keep going up and up. It is just a matter of time for the financial system to be bombarded with defaults generated by lack of economic activity and by the efforts to deal with the pandemic.

Companies - big and small - face the wall. During World War Two, British households were destroyed with bombs. In the Twenty-First Century, British households are being destroyed by a biological agent and this would go on ad infinitum. British authorities have said that there is no end in sight. With of without vaccination, there is no visible end of the tunnel. The virus is not just mutating in the United Kingdom. New strains have been arriving from places as far as Brazil and the possibility of a strain that cannot be tackled with today's vaccines must not be discarded.

In an effort to deal with the present pandemic, thousands upon thousands are not being treated for other diseases. This is the new Battle of Britain. This is not something that can be solved within weeks or months. We must prepare ourselves for a siege that could last several years.

On another issue - the extent of the damage done to the British economy by the measures implemented to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic is incalculable. In 2008, the financial sector had to be rescued, but the economy itself was working full blast. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, many areas of the British economy have come to a hault, many are being subsidized and others have simply evaporated thus ceasing to produce tax revenues for the British Treasury. There is little talk about balancing the budget because at this point in time balancing the budget is an impossibility.

  

 

  

What about a vaccine against unemployment?

There is no secret about the fact that more than 250,000 people lost their jobs in the United Kingdom since the start of the Covid-19 saga, but lets not forget that many companies like Debenhams and Arcadia were facing tough choices long before Covid-19 became item number one on the news. 

Hardly a single sector has been left untouched by the new realities. We have been bombarded with messages that have made vast segments of the British population extremely afraid. For the moment there is little hope of life being what it was before Covid-19. Britain is like a car running on an empty tank. Much needed social interaction is in very short supply and what before was normal can now be considered to be a criminal activity.

How anxious do you feel? How depressed do you feel? What makes you happy and makes feel that your life is worth living? Financial issues produce a huge impact on peoples' lives. Suddenly, your world becomes very small. You cannot do this and you cannot do that. When 'I can't afford it' becomes the norm rather than the exception, the words 'dead end' come to mind.

The rise of the numbers of people suffering from some kind of mental illness is one of the direct consequences of the Covid-19 saga. Lockdown measures are not good for the economy, but lets remember that our mental health and physical health are also being compromised.

 

 

Western World: Things are going dramatically wrong and there is very little leadership on the horizon

Things are going dramatically wrong. All we see is chaos, division and confrontation. Balance is missing and people are taking to the streets. It won't be long before civil strife erupts and becomes widespread. The old certainties are no more and the political establishments offer no options, but the options to try and save themselves at the expense of everbody else.

Millions of eyes are watching as the Western World collapses and minds are thinking about replacing the old centres of power. Money is no longer a tool for power when money can be made by printing trillions of worthless banknotes. The real power is the power of disruption as businesses go bust and with them go the dreams of economic recovery and political stability.

Whether Covid-19 is a biological weapon or isn't a biological weapon is beside the point. The damage done to the Western World is now irreversible. Little will be as it was before. Societies have changed. Mass consumption as the main driver of the Western World is going down. People are now focusing on essentials that they need for survival. Whether the elites still buy stuff that no one actually needs is irrelevant. The masses are the real engine of economies across the world. If the consumption habits of the masses change, the world changes.

Covid-19 is not just killing individuals. Covid-19 is killing the Western World and Western World values. The mobs are not interested in the rule of law. The mobs have their own laws that are making peaceful coexistence virtually impossible. 

The political establishments have been shown for what they are: nothing more than money grabing scoundrels that protect their privileges while the rest fall apart. Democracy never was more than a word used to fool billons of people across the world.. The difference is that now we can clearly see Democracy as a fake product of mass manipulation created to protect vested interests.

Health Lockdown and Economic Lockdown: A catch 22 situation

There is no easy way out of the present Covid-19 crisis. This is not just about physical health. It is also psychological health. But the situation is much more complex than that. There is no guarantee that after the national lockdown starting on October 4th until December 2nd 2020 the country will be any better healthwise.

As the economy sinks to new depths, Britain is on the brink of total collapse and political tensions are rising. There is no magic recipe to get Britain out of this mess. When we think about terrorism, we think about weapons and explosives, but a biological attack is deadlier than any other means of aggression. Nobody could foresee that a viral infection that started in Wuhan, in China, thousands of miles away could cause what Covid-19 is causing right now.

During the Blitz, Britain lost 32,000 civilians and more than 80,000 civilians were seriously injured. This has the potential to be much worse than the Blitz. All traces of normality are disappearing.

Covid-19: The Solution as solution and as cause of other problems

 Covid-19 and Lockdowns

Covid-19 and the new realities generated by the measures put in place to deal with the spread of the disease have a turned a health issue into a political battlefield. As if this wasn't enough, social, emotional, and political consequences have made Covid-19 much more than the cause of a pandemia. 

In Britain, a stagnating political system has been proven to be totally incapable of dealing with the realities created by Covid-19. A sizeable number of Members of Parliament never had a real job. They were parachuted into politics with very little or no experience of the real world and they are now trapped when critical decisions are being made. The weight of political allegiances or pragmatic and realistic solutions needed to deal with a crisis. 

Unfortunaltely for them and for the United Kingdom as a whole, party politics will not help Britain tackle what is now running out of control nor tackle the consequences of the measures implemented to deal with the health crisis.

While politicians argue with each other pretending that they are achieving something worth achieving, they are just moving chairs on a sinking Titanic. Whether Lockdown works or doesn't work, there are for starters very stark financial challenges ahead. Not in the long distant future, but in the immediate future. 

Furlough schemes are just a short-term mesure, a delaying mesure. Before the Covid-19 crisis, many were facing the wall in financial terms. All the talk about Britain being all about services in spite of everything and regardless of everthing was based on the belief that Britain could export jobs to China and other developing economies, sacrifice manufacturing, farming and fisheries in dubious dealings witht the European Union and life would be brillian for ever and ever.

In 2008, the "services" ideology was brought into question and Gordon Brown had to plug resources away from the real economy to rescue the "services industries". Having said that, in 2020, the picture is quite different. With the economy in tatters and the prospect of mass unemployment, the British Treasury is hemorraging resources. If there were to be another set of circumstances similar to what happened in 2008, Britain doesn't have the means to save the "services industries" all over again. 

In the old days, the game of chairs was the only game in town. When Labour was becoming unpopular, Conservatives were on the wings ready to jump in. When Conservatives seemed to be going downhill, Labour was ready and waiting. This time around, Neither Labour nor Conservatives are their old selves. 

Covid-19 has long ceased to be a health issue. It is now a political issue and in coming months the knives will be out en force. Suddenly, a whole range of issues will be mixed like in some kind of cocktail Molotov. Covid-19, Mass Unemployment, Illegal Immigration, Brexit and many others. This is war and from now on things will only get worse.

The poisonous snakes of the Left will continue doing their treacherous work to destroy the United Kingdom until their heads are cut off.
