And Then, Show Support...

I’m sure you’ve been touched by the scenes of countless numbers of lorry drivers ‘stranded’ around Dover without, according to the media, food water or toilet facilities, so please join me by showing your support for these poor folk by heading to your car at midnight tonight and tooting its hooter for thirty minutes – or until a neighbour kicks your windscreen in – to let the government know that LDLM. As a by-the-by, the TV ‘news’ coverage of the drivers ‘mass’ protests at the delays looked to me like an opportunity for mass smartphone filming rather than protesting.

Further to my response to a comment left by the good A K Haart to my last post, wherein I jested a variant of Co-Co would be found in the Polar ice, it came as a big surprise to see the next step in the softly, softly, scary, scary scam was announced as soon as yesterday evening. Yup, bug ‘found’ in Antarctica. You know wot? A lot of folk don’t like that predictive typing stuff, well, I’m going to stop with that predictive thinking thingy...

Here are my silly joking words typed yesterday morning; ...the next virus step could well be the discovery of a deadly variant found locked into the polar ice. With the ‘rapid’ warming of the planet by ‘us’, causing the increasingly fast melting of the poles, this melt will release the bug to sweep across the world. 
And here’s yesterday evenings ‘breaking news’. Is that spooky or wot? Is the Ministry of Fear looking over my shoulder? If so, a note to them: I feel the Arctic** would’ve been just a tad more scary for your intended target demographic. Also, do I get points for seemingly being ‘on message’? Does that SAGE gang have a backroom scary ideas department? Any vacancies?
**Note to help younger readers and those still at university:
Arctic - North. Antarctic – South.

Let’s give all that no never mind and get ready for Christmas cake. Again. And again.
