Seems the BBC have caved in and are now going to allow singing along to those two patriotic old numbers at that prom thingy. I noted that the BBC news managed to announce this U-turn by pandering to a minority of their audience by showing a prom clip featuring a frantic conductor and an overweight lady of colour enthusiastically waving one of they rainbow LGBQUERTY flags. Relentless. RBC?
The ‘news’ has also been bombarding me with stories about how scary it could be to be reopening schools with ‘interviews’ with kids and mums; only frightened or concerned mums chosen to speak to camera and the kids were, like, worried but, like, wanting to, like, see their friends and to get, like, learning again as they’d, like, missed so much. I assume books are pretty much a thing of the past then. A set of encyclopaedias? Am I, like, nuts?
Now to a thought: Then we had many bits about local lockdowns that had been relaxed and then quickly tightened up again both here and over there, thus affecting holiday makers. All those folk on the street, those chosen for interview, all concluded their sad anti government stories by using the much used statement that they just don’t know where they stand.
May I humbly suggest to those folk who don’t know where they stand that they try standing on their own two feet, look ahead and get on with their lives to the best of their abilities? Should they encounter problems or uncertainties, think it through for yourself and overcome piles of trials with smiles instead of continuously and nervously glancing from left to right and behind, desperately seeking someone to hold your hand. To miss quote my little nest of vipers for the hundredth time, if folk constantly feel the need to have their hand held, they’re never going to learn to walk on their own.
