In 2005 President George W Bush expressed concern that the world had no contingency plans for a global pandemic. It fell on deaf ears. No one listened. Consequently, in 2020 the world was economically savaged by Covid19.

The total death toll was 7 million. Governments across the world ran around like headless chickens doing what they thought was right at the time. However, metaphorically it was like playing ‘blindman’s bluff!’ In the UK 227,000 perished from the pandemic. Over £400 billion was spent by the Johnson Government on furloughing 9 million people; some of it not properly accounted for. There was an indecently large proportion of it - £4.

It is probably also fair to say that Labour would probably done worse than the Conservative Government during this unsettling period. Sir Keir Starmer and his shadow Cabinet would have kept us at home, doing irreparable damage to the economy. Now here we are today, three weeks from polling day on 4th July, with a Labour landslide the likely outcome. The Tories are in freefall. No one is listening to anyone. There is general apathy towards the political parties.
