...do not want to protect you, your friends, your family or anyone remotely vulnerable from an easily preventable and unpleasant death.
Nor, do they want to protect the wide health service from increased strain that would lead to delays in everything from elective surgery to cancer treatments.
Tonight, 99 Tory MPs voted against the 'sh*t we should have already been doing' bill.

There's probably a lot of Tory grassroot members, (especially those who joined from UKIP) who will never vote for Patel to be leader.
Or Sunak, Javid, Zahawi, or Kwateng.
Now why would that be? |
...couldn't whitely say... |  |

Anyone care to explain why not one LibDem, nor the single Green, MP voted in favour of the restrictions. |

Is this an inevitable symptom of the logical end game of a species which has become too clever for its wisdom, become too big for its planet, and too selfish for its own good?
The descent into another rabid and misinformed faith, this time more of an irrational anti-belief, seems to me to spell the end for any remote chance we might have had of evolving our way out of our ego- and greed-driven doom. Good luck to the kids. |
A lot of it comes down to deficit of hope.
People percieve their lives are filled with pointless drudgery and are getting harder (sometimes they're right, e.g. in areas of the world where major sources of employment have declined). All the time they are exposed to a parade of increasing wealth and celebrity which, try as they might, most cannot attain.
So they seek out things to grasp hold of, ways to explain the world and their position in it. There's plenty of stuff out there, particularly online, which is very plausible and easy to digest - much more so than social or economic theory. It requires a bit of "magical thinking" (e.g. that there is a secret cabal of powerful individuals running the world from behind the scenes), but that's not hard to do. |  |

I expect that during the blitz of 1940 there were similar loons objecting to having to use blackout blinds "it's against our personal freedom, as is carrying a gas mask and rationing". For them, it is the idea of collective action, the thought that as social beings we have responsibility beyond ourselves. I would round the fckers up and put them to work on a NHS ward coping with the consequences of their idiocy.
Otherwise, there is a real fear that the NHS will be swamped. Johnson natural instinct is to cave in. Go with whatever is popular, yet here he is bringing in measures that will not be popular. On that basis I think we have much to be concerned about
Coping with these children is the least of our worries, I would venture. |  | | |

And she is clearly coming at it from a different place to many.
