I don't read that awful tabloid so had never heard of the guy, but he sounds a very unpleasant piece of work.

I think it is quite refreshing to read other viewpoints, you may disagree with some or all of it, but I don't think you need to get into quite such an indignant rage about it. They are/were both writers and polemicists, you wouldn't really expect a bland agreement with the perceived orthodoxy would you?

As to your last sentence it doesn't bear being dignified with any kind of response.

Another variant of the virus has been detected here in the UK, originally found in Brazil.

Do you mean you've never heard of Peter Hitchens, Littleroses? He is the brother of the now deceased, atheist Christopher Hitchens. Peter was originally an atheist until he found Christ.

He does come over as pompous but re the Covid-19 circumstances he, in a sense, addresses the balance of people losing their jobs, businesses, even their homes and some taking their own lives due to their unbearable situation.

It's a very difficult state of affairs for any government to deal with and I certainly would not like to be in their position. Interesting thought: would they have been so pleased to be in power Dec. '19 if they had known what was ahead of them.

They may well be the politicians of a party with which you do not agree, but I will bet that there are Labour politicians who are feeling "Thanks to Christ we lost the election as we do not have to make the nasty decisions on how to cope with the pandemic."

It is nice to be on the Opposition benches and yell that the Govt has done it wrong while not have to worry about it as it is hoped that it will be over before they have a chance to be in the position of having to make those hard decisions and being slagged off in the press for having balls them up!

I'm sure they think they dodged a bullet. You may argue that they couldn't be worse than the current shower (I wouldn't: I'm sure Jeremy Corbyn could trawl previously unheard of depths of incompetence, if he put his mind to it), but we wouldn't have the current shower to compare to, if Labour had won.

These idiots, not only were in breach of lockdown rules, they must have been off their heads to camp so close to the edge of this cliff especially as they had a child with them.

I don't think there's a moral problem, but the Catholic statement is mild and reasonable, unlike Roses' typically childish response.

At least I admit to being in my second childhood, I see you have joined me. :P ;D

Getting back to the subject of the virus, I see Biden is not impressed with Texas who have decided to discard the wearing of masks!

I foresee another wave of deaths in the US. Lots of them are relaxing at exactly the same time as the UK variant is beginning to take hold.

I think it is likely to be a good while before we can let our guard down where the virus is concerned, as new spikes are going to occur if we do.

Good news about increased willingness to have the jab. It really ought to be a no-brainer, but apparently there is a proportion of the populace with no brains, including some crooner or other.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/mar/05/fear-of-missing-out-boosting-global-acceptance-of-covid-jab

A poll I came across online showed a large majority of respondents in favour of vaccine passports, including, with some minor caveats, me.

Johnson lying to parliament

Perhaps Douglas Ross will ask Johnson to resign for lying. That is what he expects of other leaders.
