Last Report of 2020 - unedited, I just don't have the energy for it!
Yes, still in the grip of the pandemic and it doesn't appear things are getting better despite the Pfizer vaccine beginning to be administered and another vax in the pipeline for being available in the first days of 2021 should we live long enough to see the New Year in.
It is not a little alarming to watch the case numbers-hospital admissions-deaths on a shockingly high uptick. This uptick was anticipated back at the beginning of December although we all hoped the dire predictions were wrong. The bitter little dwarf thinking herself leader of an independent Scotland (really, Sturgeon and the SNP have to be the champion free-lunch screwer-uppers of all time) announced before Christmas we could have one day mixing with one other household inside - with all the windows and doors open 'to blow the virus out' - but at midnight we'd all become pumpkins and the entirety of Scotland would go into a three week 'Level4' set of restrictions. All non-essentials shopping forbidden, no travel between Scotland and the rest of the UK (especially between Scotland and England and didn't that little witch's eyes gleam at the chance to spew yet more anti-English hate), and no indoor anything with anyone outside the household unless providing assistance to a vulnerable person. The list of rules we must follow until at least 16 January 2020 is long, convoluted, and nearly impossible not to violate.
After being under the dictatorship, the fascist totalitarian SNP dictatorship, these past ten plus years, most of us suspect that foul lot will extend the restrictions beyond 16th January 2021 owing to the sharp uptick in the virus toll. Paul and I took the decision to do a Big-Big Shop the second week of December.
I inventoried pantry, fridge, both freezers. Worked out a list. And owing to my 'vulnerability' as a certified Heartie, he took the list and set off alone to do the supermarket round. We use three 'supermarkets' to keep our house stocked (plus a couple of subscriptions to different online suppliers for gluten-free and cat supplies) and Paul had a list for each.
NOTE: regarding supermarket chains, the one we had been using for years was bought out by a pair of muslim brothers who like to buy up every damn essential retail thing they can and then stop selling non-halal in said retail units including their filling station convenience stores. Their filthy enterprise owns filling stations, coffee shops (they've just bought Costa), and now ASDA. I hesitate, living in SNP dominated Scotland (where the muslim Justice Minister is trying to make a law criminalising saying I don't like or trust muslims)to say this publicly but the truth is after the decades of personal sometimes very negative experiences with muslims, I don't like or trust them, I wish they'd never been allowed to migrate to the West - no such thing as a 'moderate muslim', anyone thinking there is needs mental health care. I don't wish any muslim physical harm but I wish with all my heart they weren't in the West even as tourists. I believe them to be a satanic cult trying to force their sickening shariah law on the world. I know who controls the transport (fuel) and food controls the world, these people should NEVER have been permitted to own filling stations and supermarkets, NEVER! So I will NEVER again darken the door of ASDA or any other shop these brothers or any other disgusting muslim owns. I had to scramble to find a new supermarket chain whose meat cases weren't filled with unlabelled halal slaughtered meat - I have but in the process I was shocked to discover most of the meat sold in Tesco and Sainsbury is unlabelled halal now in a misguided effort to 'be inclusive'. Yes I buy our meat from the local butcher but a supermarket chain that clearly labels any filthy halal slaughtered meat in a separate meat case is a shop that believes in making sure consumers know what they're buying and that policy carries through the rest of their stock. That is a shop I want to do business with.
Paul returned home hours later and it took me several more hours to get everything put away. We're stocked for a siege. Wanna further your totalitarian dictatorship ways, Niclaw? Have at it, I'm ready!
I want to make a point of saying here I do believe there IS a pandemic and just now things are becoming yet more serious with the discovery of two mutations that are more infectious - and owing to the rise in ICU admitted cases and deaths shows every sign of being more deadly. Only an idiot travels and mixes unnecessarily, only a fool scorns proper hygiene and strict protocols for masks and other precautionary measures. And only dangerous idiotic fools make it necessary for Governments to enact and enforce strict laws meant to protect the public from spreading the virus - if everyone would just wash their hands, cover their mouth and nose (for feck sake, how in the hell does wearing a mask over the mouth but not the nose keep the virus from spewing into the air, how?!), and keep bloody distance from EVERYONE, it really is not rocket science, dammit!
As a consequence of the pandemic, racist BLM, virtue-signalling numpty celebs, the Eew trying to maintain its overlordship of Britain, the Fifth Columnist anti-Britainistas, the dangerously absurd election of Biden and Harris, and all the rest of the insanity we've seen rise like scum to the surface, 2020 has been a truly horrendous year. If 2021 is only a quarter as bad as 2020 has been, we'll be lucky.
God help us, we are surely going to need it!
