Ho hum another Groundhog Day on the edge of the fen , on a plus note the 8 year old white cabbage seed are sprouting somewhat to my amazement and there appear to be radishes popping up allover the place because i just bashed the seed tub remnants of everything against a gate pillar a few weeks ago while cleaning it out . So natures bonus is surprising me yet again , the plum tree is covered in tiny fruit after giving us next to nothing for years , it will be amazing if they make it to harvest , the wind and the wasps usually get most of them . So a quick pop out today for butchers stuff and the tin factory subject to them being busy , if they are we will have a ride out but not visit . I wouldnt normally shop anywhere on a Saturday but himself is bored and driving me mad .
Has anyone noticed that there is no news online or on TV about what is happening in the African countries , all the news seems to be very sanitized and censored at the moment , all very white Anglo Saxon. We are all aware that black and asian people are being killed at much higher rates than whites even in the West , with modern healthcare . So what is actually going on out there ? A friend did send me one article about Native Americans taking a real kicking from Covid because there is virtually no medical cover on the reservations , many dont even have water supplies to their homes .
Maybe some people would take things more seriously if they wernt showing just the edited highlights and all the bullshit propaganda we seem to be being fed .

Well, my bubble seems to include Africa as well (you know the thing that we all live in our own bubbles and see the world only from our bubble point of view) but not much about eastern Europe or South America at all. Poor Africa. First there was droughs, then horrible rains and flooding and the biblical locusts (and they are now waiting for the next wave of crickets to wipe out anything green left after the first wave, this next wave will be maybe 10 times worse...)
ReplyDeleteSo there's famine already, and now corona is there. I',m actually little panicky for African people (sorry using a simple word to describe the whole giant continent). This will not end well.
Africa and the killing fields in the middle East , you just wonder what can be thrown at them next . At least Italy is allowing lots of immigrants to stay now because theyve helped so much during the current crisis . Meanwhile we have Nigel Farage standing at the Channel like bleedin Canute waiting to turn them back here
ReplyDeleteWe live in an area with a high First Nations population. Most reserves here have their tribal police set up roadblocks to prevent people coming through or their own from returning from the cities.
ReplyDeleteThe hospital I work in services the far north and Arctic. We're not seeing an increase in patients from these groups. Most reserves have their own healthservices, so are managing better than many in inncer cities.
Like most rural areas if you can keep away from others theres a good chance this will pass you , it does seem to be slaughtering those who are poor in cramped conditions , and men mainly
DeleteI'm not in a rural area. Many of our reserves are within a 20 minute drive of a major city.
DeleteAny epidemic/plague, whatever you call to call it will always kill the weak/poor/infirm/elderly first. It's a fact of the species. The wealthy/powerful will always survive.
you boomers are shutting down the entire economy because you're afraid of a flu. Seriously, can you boomers kill yourselves? You are the most selfish generation to ever exist. You don't give a shit about climate change, why should we young people give a shit if you get sick and die of some virus? I HOPE the virus gets much stronger and kills you all.
ReplyDeleteDo you boomers realize how universally hated you are? There is not one single demographic that does not hate you- white people, black people, asians, mexicans, indians, chinese, millennials, GenX, GenZ. Something tells me that you boomers are not going to have a very comfortable or easy retirement, especially once you end up in the retirement homes.
Can you baby boomers hurry up and fucking drop dead? Enjoy your retirement homes cause we younger people will not take care of you even if we wanted to, due to the shitty economy you boomers created. Do you boomers realize that the younger generation is simply waiting for you to fucking drop dead?
You are all going to end up in retirement homes and we all know that the elderly gets treated pretty badly in retirement homes. Well, that's what you get for ruining your own children's lives. Even if your children WANTED to take care of you, they couldn't, due to you boomers destroying the economy. So I hope you enjoy the retirement homes, boomer scum!
Everybody is entitled to a point of view but have the courage of your conviction to put your name to it.
Deletegot to love a little cheerfulness of a Sunday morning ..lol
DeleteThis is a computer generated one that has been making the rounds for the past month - just delete or ignore, it's only designed to upset folks. Don't react - they aren't worth the bother.
DeleteHi Kate, I see you have been subjected to an evil troll comment, I had the exact same one, he or she is obviously going around pasting it into blogs for fun.
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of propaganda i agree with you whole heartedly.
