Joe Biden To Push For US-UK Deal

A political expert said that Joe Biden is likely to broker a deal between the United Kingdom and the US in a bid to boost Brexit Britain’s chances to keep France and Germany’s aspirations under control.

David Frum, an author and Republican speechwriter, explained the US always wanted the United Kingdom to have close ties to the rest of Europe so they could further US interests.

Despite US powers being generally opposed to Brexit, with the exception of Donald Trump, David Frum said it’s water under the bridge and said the US and Joe Biden care very deeply about the UK.

He also signalled Joe Biden may attempt to strike an agreement with the United Kingdom quickly to ensure the country maintains some levels of control over France and Germany being too influential on the continent.

Channel 4 News host Matt Frei questioned whether President Joe Biden may oppose Britain’s efforts to distance itself further from the bloc, saying that the new administration won’t like it if London distances itself unnecessarily more from Brussels.

The American commentator said that America since President Eisenhower wanted Britain to have a close relationship with the continent because it improves the British economy, and it stops the French and Germans from being too status because Britain raises a strong voice on behalf of free trade interest inside the EU.

And ultimately, Britain inside the EU always discourages the EU to try and compete with NATO over the defence business, but that’s water under the bridge, and the decision has been made, and that decision has to be made successful.

The Channel 4 presenter also asked: “Should Joe Biden care about the UK-US special relationship and should we the United Kingdom stop caring?”

Mr Frum responded: “Does he care about Britain? Of course, everyone in the American national security system cares a great deal about Britain”.

And he said that he didn’t believe that it was any secret and that Joe Biden liked just about everyone in a position of responsibility in the US, save for Donald Trump, who believed that Brexit was an unwise choice.

Mr Frum said that the choice having been made is going to be an important American economic and national security matter.

Boris Johnson had been hoping to thrash out a draft-free trade deal with the US during Donald Trump’s Administration, but the focus had to remain on discussions with the European Union, and Jim Harra, the chief executive of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), told MPs that the number of customs forms required to trade with the EU under the Brexit agreement was not very different from a no-deal situation – so not deserving of the paper it was written on.

Water in this country is over 70 per cent owned by the EU and other countries.

EU companies own many of the energy companies as are numerous UK train networks.

Many courier companies have EU investment and there are EU made lorries delivering goods here in England, plus even UK made cars have EU parts, and whether directly or indirectly we can’t boycott the EU profiting in the United Kingdom.

And I think that the first thing that Joe Biden will want to do is sort out America first before agreeing on any free trade deal with the United Kingdom, which will mean that Boris Johnson is going to be well and truly shafted, and if it wasn’t for the fact that this is going to be disastrous for us in the United Kingdom, I’d be bouncing about with glee.

Police Raid Wedding With 400 Guests

It comes as people attending illegal house parties will face £800 fines as police tighten their clampdown on coronavirus rule-breaking.

Home Secretary Priti Patel announced the heavy punishment for anyone attending gatherings of 15 or more people as she lashed out at revellers for spreading COVID.

The penalties will increase for each repeat offence, up to a maximum of £6,400, she said at a Downing Street press conference. Hosts of illegal parties can be fined £10,000.

Detective Chief Superintendent Marcus Barnett, central east BCU commander, said the party in Stamford Hill was unacceptable and a violation of the law, which is very clearly in place to protect lives and the NHS.

It was said that the NHS is under considerable pressure at a time when COVID has killed almost 100,000 people, and that this is a dangerous and extremely serious disease and that we must all act responsibly.

People across the country are making sacrifices by cancelling or delaying weddings and other celebrations and there’s no excuse for this kind of behaviour.

Detective Chief Superintendent Marcus Barnett said that his officers were working tirelessly with the community and will not hesitate to take enforcement action if that is needed to keep people protected.

Flanking Priti Patel at the press conference, NHS England chief for London Dr Vin Diwakar compared breaking the rules to turning on a light in the Blitz.

He said that this was the biggest health emergency to face this country since the Second World War.

He continued that it doesn’t just put you in danger in your home, it puts your whole street and the whole of your community at risk.

The science is clear and such reckless conduct poses a significant threat to public health. Not only to those in attendance but to the police officers who attend these events to shut them down.

Martin Hewitt, chairman of the National Police Chief’s Council, said police had to deal with several dangerous parties, including one with 150 people in Hertfordshire and another with 40 people in Brick Lane in London’s East End.

And he hoped that the possibility of increased penalties acts as a deterrent for those people who are thinking of attending or planning such events, and he said that when they see people putting themselves and others in danger, they won’t waste time trying to reason with them.

I am myself Jewish and their behaviour is a disgrace to the Jewish community and it needs to be condemned by other Jewish people as well, and although ultra-orthodox Jews play by a different set of rules and with a different mindset, this reflects on the Jewish community as a whole.

All people must all be compliant to beat this disease and there shouldn’t be any exceptions, race, creed or colour, we must all be obedient.

Culture is not relevant here, not during a pandemic. If you’re a UK national the laws apply to you, and even if you’re not a UK citizen, if you reside in this country, the rules apply as well.

It’s not human nature to be locked away every few months and it’s natural for humans to want to socialise and go outside and we can’t change the way humans are and people are realising their freedoms and liberties are being torn away, one by one to a disease with a recovery rate of over 99.7 per cent.

We’re being told to stay at home because the NHS is at capacity but hospitals are full every single year during the wintertime.

The virus is being used to implement the great reset, also known as the fourth industrial revolution, and it’s not a conspiracy theory when all the data is on the World Economic Forum website, but most people are ignorant, and people are being programmed by the mainstream media, all of which is controlled.

Psychological studies have in the past shown that if you bombard people with relentless fear and scaremongering you can brainwash them in as little as two months and people need to start fighting for their liberties and freedoms, otherwise we’ll never get them back.

The vaccine isn’t safe and hasn’t been tested for long term side effects and vaccine companies have been made immune from any lawsuits so they can’t be held accountable if anyone does suffer any unfavourable effects or even death.

There was a healthcare worker in the US who collapsed ten minutes after having the vaccine. The following day she was discovered dead. Now, this should ring some warning bells for everyone, but people are remarkably ignorant.

The Government Could Pay £500 To Everyone Who Tests Positive To Encourage Self-isolation

Everyone testing positive for COVID could be paid £500 by the Government to self isolate, under plans reportedly being considered by ministers.

The scheme, which would cost up to £450 million a week, aims to encourage more people to take a test and to persuade those who test positive to stay at home, regardless of their financial situation.

The proposal, which is likely to alarm the Treasury ahead of Rishi Sunak’s budget, is reportedly detailed in a policy paper at the Department of Health seen by a newspaper outlet.

Polling suggests many self-employed workers fear they will lose out financially if they comply with advice to self-isolate.

An existing scheme offers £500 but only to those already registered to receive a means-tested benefit.

Councils also have a discretionary fund, but stringent eligibility rules mean few COVID patients have got a payout.

Research by The Independent revealed that in Liverpool 76 per cent of applications for the £500 were denied and the Department of Health and Social refused to deny the report.

A spokesperson said that we are in one of the worst moments of this pandemic and it’s incumbent on all of us to better protect the NHS by staying at home and following the rules.

And that all local authorities costs for administering the Test and Trace Support Payment scheme is covered by the Government, and that each authority is authorised to make discretionary payments outside of the scheme.

Fifty million pounds was invested when the scheme started, and it was said that they were giving a further £20 million to better support people on low incomes who need to self-isolate.

So, approximately £50 a day, for a self-employed person who has to take the better part of two weeks off work and won’t get furlough money.

The better option would be to perhaps close borders properly, so not as many people are exposing themselves to COVID and is lockdown helping? Well, it seems to be to a certain degree, but as soon as the lockdown is lifted people are becoming sick again because we’re not getting any resistance from this pestilent virus.

And those people that aren’t working because of the virus should be getting furlough pay during isolation because it’s the fairest option and giving people £500 probably won’t dissuade them from going out – it’s an absurd notion.

At the moment there are probably people out there who are hiding their symptoms because they can’t take weeks off work unpaid, and if they can magic this money up, then they can magic some extra cash for our hard-working doctors and nurses.

And paying people seems a tad creepy to me.

Are they now going to ask you to provide all bank statements to prove that you’re isolating and your job details, and then they determine if they want to pay you, or not. They may as well be asking for the blood from your slit wrist. It’s just a joke.

And there doesn’t seem to be any logic in this because people who are tight for cash might be encouraged to go out to try and get it to have another source of income – what a brainless Government we have, and this is from a Government that still refuses to feed hungry children.

More bad ideas and ineffective solutions, with one stupid idea after another stupid idea.

Anything to keep case and data numbers up. The numbers have been dropping, but unfortunately, false positives have been prevalent in people who have no symptoms and no infection.

And it seems that the Government’s strategy is disintegrating, so now they’re trying to bribe people – what a wicked Government we have.

London Buses Transformed Into Ambulances To Ease COVID Strain

NHS staff are planning to transport patients using two London buses that have been transformed into temporary ambulances, in another sign of the pressure COVID is putting on the capital’s health services.

Most of the seats on the single-decker buses have been removed so that each can carry four patients, to relieve the intense pressure on hospitals and the London ambulance service.

Go-Ahead, the bus company which owns the vehicles, has loaned them to the NHS in the metropolis to help transfer patients, including to the reopened London Nightingale field hospital.

They will be staffed by doctors and nurses who serve in the NHS, particularly in intensive care, as well as volunteers from the St John’s Ambulance first aid charity.

Go-Ahead is also providing four drivers for the vehicles, which have been modified so that vital medical supplies, including infusion pumps and monitors, can be used to keep patients stable and observe their condition.

All have been vaccinated against coronavirus and Go-Ahead has been flooded with offers from its drivers to help.

The buses will also have oxygen on board and will be able to give it to patients who need it, including those with COVID, through a facemask and the electric vehicles will be able to charge the equipment from their batteries.

The first patients are expected to be moved into the buses and initially are expected to be patients from London hospitals who are being moved to the Nightingale at the ExCel arena to receive step down care before they’re discharged.

It reopened last week, but unlike in the first wave, is being used for less sick patients rather than those who are seriously ill with COVID.

It’s believed to be the first time any part of the NHS has had to use specially adapted buses like this to move patients around and staff on board will wear personal protective equipment.

The NHS staff on the buses will be doctors and nurses who work for the Specialist Retrieval and Intensive Care Transfer Service (SPRINT), an NHS service which was set up in March, as the COVID pandemic struck, to move sick people between intensive care units at hospitals in south London to ensure none became overwhelmed.

Dedicated stops have been created outside King’s College and Guy’s hospitals in south London to ensure the buses can park and collect patients and have priority.

The sides of the buses have large stickers saying: “NHS patient transport” and will display the health service’s logo.

But this is ridiculous and all I can picture is people waiting at a bus stop to be picked up for assistance. It’s like a ‘Carry On COVID’ movie, and if this is a serious consideration, why are the Government not enlisting the army to take people to the hospital, because the army has trained medics and transport.

And all the while they’re busy closing and dismantling some of the Nightingale hospitals they built for the first wave of COVID – something doesn’t make sense here.

These Nightingale hospitals were always pointless because we don’t have the extra medical staff to work in them.

They built all these Nightingale hospitals to make it seem like they were doing a great job, and now numerous people have cottoned on to the fact that they were a misuse of money because we don’t have enough personnel to staff them, and the Boris Johnson reign is about smoke and mirrors to make Boris Johnson look good.

Joe Biden Signals Return To Normality On His First Day As The President

Joe Biden attempted to project a return to normality at home and abroad on his first day as President as he secured the support of his top intelligence official and moved to bring the US back into the Paris climate accord.

After being sworn in just before midday and delivering his inaugural speech, Joe Biden signed a series of executive actions on Wednesday evening that marked a sharp break with Donald Trump’s policies on immigration, the environment and racial fairness.

Throughout his first few hours in the office, Joe Biden got Senate approval for Avril Haines as director of national intelligence, a crucial national security post for his fledgeling administration.

Avril Haines, the first female director of national intelligence, was approved with overwhelming support in an 84-10 vote in the upper chamber of Congress.

Joe Biden’s decision to re-enter the Paris climate accord in one of his first acts in the Oval Office marked a return to a multilateral approach to the global climate crisis from Washington.

The President was left a note by Donald Trump, which Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, later described as both generous and gracious.

Joe Biden did not disclose the contents of the letter, pending approval from his forerunner, who flew to Florida early on Wednesday morning without attending the inauguration ceremony.

Joe Biden subsequently addressed newly appointed administration staff with a demand for decency that also sought to represent a shift from Donald Trump’s grinding approach to governing.

Joe Biden said: “If you’re ever working with me and I hear you treating another colleague with disrespect, talking down to someone, I will fire you on the spot”.

Later in the evening, Joe Biden greeted the nation from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, delivering remarks that echoed his inauguration speech.

He said: “We have learned again that democracy is precious”. In reference to the deadly attack on the US Capitol by a mob of Trump followers two weeks ago.

He added: “Because of you, democracy has prevailed. We’re good people, and to overcome the challenges in front of us requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy – unity”.

Joe Biden added that there were moments in history when more is asked of them as Americans. Referencing the civil war and the achievements of Dr Martin Luther King Jr, and he said that they were in one of those moments now, the pandemic, the economic crisis, racial injustice, the climate crisis and threats to their very democracy.

This sounds like Joe Biden’s aim to restore law and order because no matter what your political viewpoints are, it’s wrong to assault the Capitol during a democratic process, and hopefully, Joe Biden and his new team will correct all mistakes made by those before him and he should be his own man.

Joe Biden’s Very Jewish Family

For a staunch Roman Catholic, Joe Biden has a very Jewish family.

All three of his children married Jewish spouses, and the baby grandson that he cradled in his arms after his victory speech is halachiacally Jewish, as are the children of his late son Beau.

Beau’s wife, Hallie Olivere was the Biden’s first Jewish daughter in law.

Joe Biden had known her mother Joan since childhood, and once quipped that he’d have liked to have married her, and he said that he was the Catholic kid. She was the Jewish girl, and he said he still tried but that he didn’t get anywhere.

Hallie Olivere and Beau married in 2002 and had children Natalie and Robert.

In 2015 Beau died of brain cancer, and in the aftermath of his passing, Hallie turned to his brother Hunter, who was separated from his wife, Kathleen, the mother of their children Naomi, Finnegan and Maisy.

Joe and Jill Biden, as well as Hallie’s parents, supported the couple, with Joe Biden saying that the couple had his and Jill’s complete support, and were happy for them.

Hallie and Hunter split up, in part because of the continuous attention from the press. Not long afterwards Hunter met Jewish South African filmmaker Melissa Cohen, and inside 10 days the couple were married in a ceremony in her Los Angeles flat. Hunter marked the occasion by getting a tattoo to match Melissa Cohen’s, the word ‘shalom’ in Hebrew letters.

According to the South African Jewish Report, it was love at first sight, and her family were left reeling by the news.

Her parents Zoe and Lee Cohen would not comment, but her brother Garyn said that it was pretty much a fairytale and that all they wanted was for Melissa to be happy, and for there to be a happy ending.

Melissa grew up with three older brothers, attended a Jewish day school and studied interior design before moving to Los Angeles. Garyn Cohen said that his sister had always been a champion for nature conservation and the environment, as well as the underprivileged and people from all walks of life, and he said that she was exceptional, intelligent, and has a special neshoma (soul).

The couple’s child, named Beau, was born in April, just under a year after they first met and married.

Joe and Jill Biden’s daughter Ashley also has a Jewish husband, Howard Krein, an ENT specialist at a Philadelphia hospital. They married in 2012, in a Catholic Jewish service followed by a reception during which the then Vice President danced the hora.

Tony Blair’s Offspring Euan Now Richer Than His Father

The eldest son of ex-prime minister Tony Blair is believed to be worth more than his father after his education start up was estimated at approximately £150 million.

Euan Blair, 37, is the CEO of Multiverse, a previously named WhiteHat, a London based company offering young people alternatives to university.

It was revealed yesterday that the business has secured an investment of £32 million from investors, who valued it at a reported £147 million, indicating a potential fortune for the former investment banker.

Reports suggest Euan Blair owns about 50 per cent of the firm, which means he could now be worth up to an eye-watering £73 million, more than his ex-Labour leader dad.

Tony Blair, 67, who is believed to have accumulated a property empire after leaving politics, had an estimated wealth of about £60 million in 2015.

Tony Blair served as prime minister from 1997 to 2007, during which time he famously championed ‘education, education, education’, which appears to have rubbed off on his son.

Multiverse works with a multitude of businesses, including Zoopla, Warner Bros, Google, Facebook and BP to match young people who don’t go to university with apprenticeships at major companies based on their abilities.

Euan himself studied at the University of Bristol and Yale University before taking a position at the investment bank Morgan Stanley. His successful start-up was then launched in 2016.

Yesterday’s financial injection into Multiverse is estimated to be the largest sum ever raised by a British education technology business, according to a news outlet.

The company said it would use the money to expand, a plan that includes hiring 200 or more staff on these shores and opening an office in New York.

Tony Blair and his wife Cherie, 66, have three other children, Nicky, 35, Kathryn, 32, and Leo, 20.

This is all pretty astounding because Euan Blair has supposedly done all this without any help from his father, his dad’s friends or any tax loopholes.

The problem is, people believe that success is measured in material wealth and as long as this is so, we’re never going to climb up to the next level of civilization.

Materialism breeds a sense of inequality, prejudice, bigotry and everything the world is drowning in at this point and we can’t seem to surface out of it, so still, a lesson that’s not been learnt.

And anyone that believes they’re better than anyone else will still end up in the same size coffin and same depth hole as me and you, and the destination is the same for everyone.

It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know!

Donald Trump’s Going Nowhere

Insiders have claimed that Donald Trump is in discussions to form a new political party to continue influencing US politics after he departs the White House.

Donald Trump talked to aides and people close to him last week about launching his own party, which would be called the Patriot Party. This comes as Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th president of the United States today.

The Wall Street Journal cited people familiar with the matter stating that Donald Trump had held talks about starting a new party.

The move would help the 74-year-old continue his influence after he vacates office.

Donald Trump lost the US election in November to Joe Biden. Mr Joe Biden won the presidency with 306 electoral college votes to Donald Trump’s 232.

Earlier this month, supporters of Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol building in protest at his election disaster, leading to the deaths of five people – Donald Trump was accused of encouraging his followers into violence with a speech at a demonstration in Washington DC.

He then became the first president to be impeached twice when some Republicans voted with House Democrats on a charge of inciting rebellion.

Donald Trump could be barred from ever holding public office again if more Republicans back his conviction during a Senate trial.

It comes as Boris Johnson has said he looks forward to working closely with president-elect Joe Biden, and in a statement ahead of his inauguration, the Prime Minister said that he cordially congratulated Joe Biden on his historic inauguration as 46th president of the United States and looked forward to working closely with his new administration as they defeat COVID and build back better from the pandemic.

And he said that in their battle against COVID and across climate change, defence, security and in promoting and defeating democracy, their intentions were the same and their nations would work hand in hand to achieve them.

He said that he looked forward to welcoming him to Carbis Bay for the G7 and Glasgow as they join forces to protect the planet and that only through international collaboration can they defeat the shared challenges which they face. Meanwhile, the Home Secretary said Joe Biden’s inauguration marked the start of a new political era.

Priti Patel told Sky News that there’s a change in the presidency but, as ever, when administration changes, the world changes, the directions of travel, from politicians, in particular, political leaders always reflect some of the challenges and changes that we see going on domestically and internationally.

But Donald Trump had the power and he did little with it, and hopefully, he will be legally barred from ever running for anything more than a dog catcher in the future.

Sadly as much of an imbecile he is, this so-called Patriot Party will presumably be a force to be reckoned with, and if he gets enough support, then he will be able to challenge any Government.

But having a patriot name doesn’t make one a patriot, but Americans should be concerned with the possibility of a nationalist party in their country and it seems like Donald Trump will be about for a pretty long time, especially with the support from so many American’s, because he’s like dog’s poop on the bottom of one’s foot.

Although this could just be the knee jerk tantrums of a diminishing man, and the sooner he realises this the better, and hopefully, eventually Donald Trump will become antiquity, consigned to the back shelves of unpalatable history of the worst American president.

Lift Lockdown Or Lose Your Job!

Boris Johnson has been warned he could be turfed out of Downing Street by Tory backbenchers unless he signals his plan to end the coronavirus lockdown.

Boris Johnson has been told he must come clean about how long he thinks the COVID restrictions will last and how he will go about lifting them and the Prime Minister was warned he would face a leadership challenge if he didn’t end the lockdown soon.

Steve Baker, the deputy chair of the Tory backbench COVID Recovery Group (CRG), has written to MPs asking them to make their opinions known to the Government chief whip.

He told them that inevitably the Prime Minister’s leadership will be on the table unless Boris Johnson outlined the return to freedom.

Earlier this month two MP’s were understood to have submitted letters of no confidence in the Conservative Party leader after he declared a third national lockdown for England.

Both backbenchers were elected for the first time in the 2019 general election and sent in their letters after becoming fed up at the handling of the pandemic.

The message sent in by Mr Baker to Tory MPs today stated that he was sad to have to say this again and as bluntly as this, but they needed to equip the Chief Whip today with their opinion that debate will become about the Prime Minister’s leadership if the Government doesn’t set out a precise plan for when our full freedoms will be returned, with a guarantee that this strategy will not be used again next winter.

Seen by a news outlet, the note maintained that people are saying that they’re losing faith in the Conservative Party leadership because they’re not standing up for their values as a party.

And it said that if they continue forward with a strategy that hammers freedom, hammers the private sector, hammers small business owners and hammers the poor, inevitably the Prime Minister’s leadership will be on the table and that they strongly don’t want that, not after all this country has been through.

Mr Baker was deputy leader of the eurosceptic European Research Group when it launched their failed attempt to oust Theresa May in a confidence vote in December 2018.

In a message on social media after his note to MPs became known, Mr Baker said that what the country needed was the complete success of Boris Johnson, with his excellent EU agreement, a prosperous vaccination programme and a path to recovery, back to freedom.

However, Boris Johnson is a typical example of a school bully that never turned into an adult and he needs to be gone and how do so many low-level uneducated people get elected to parliament?

Perhaps we should just close parliament and turn that into a hospital for COVID patients and give MPs wages to nursing staff and give lump sums to any nurses and doctors willing to come in from abroad to care for the sick and dying?

After all, all our Government have done so far is lied and deceived the people who voted for their promises, but then those that trade freedom for safety lose both and warrant neither, and it’s fair enough submitting letters of no confidence in the Prime Minister, but there was a distinct absence of alternative strategies being put forward.

Of course, we all need to know just what’s going on, and the truth is all we need. People aren’t fools, even though Boris Johnson believes they are.

What is the whole truth about the virus, other than we’re in a real struggle to deal with it and nobody knows precisely what the future holds?

There are now numerous strains developing that may or may not be dealt with by the vaccine, but now our hope is being placed in a vaccine and everyone is in the same boat, and I suspect that whatever everyone might think, it will have a political agenda.

ASDA Attempting To Discriminate

People are being turned away from Asda because they’re not wearing a face mask, yet don’t have to wear one because they have a disability.

No police were involved, although normally that’s not the case and people are being escorted out of the store and if they don’t give their name and address the police are arresting people.

The remarkable thing is that if people were permitted to get on with their shopping, it would take less time than it would do to deal with all the bull Asda staff are creating.

People don’t go out looking for this nonsense, they’re literally going about their business and daily life, but this is how serious it’s becoming because now it’s encroaching on everyone’s daily lives and daily existence.

Now you can’t go about your business and most people don’t go shopping that often, maybe once a week or once a month, but I must say, please don’t take everything that I say as gospel, and if you have anything to add, your experiences in these stores, or anything comparable, please feel free to reply to this post, so that everyone knows what’s going on.

Many people have been going into supermarkets and are being turned away because they’re not wearing a face mask because of a disability, or are being asked to present evidence that they’re disabled.

However, on the Government website, it explicitly states that if you have an age, health or disability reason for not wearing a face covering, you don’t routinely need to show any written evidence of this, and you don’t need to show an exemption card.

This means that you don’t need to seek advice or request a letter from a medical professional about your reason for not wearing a face covering.

It then goes on to say that some people may feel more comfortable showing something that says they don’t have to wear a face covering. This could be in the form of an exemption card, badge or even a homemade sign.

Carrying an exemption card or badge is a personal choice and isn’t required by law, and it explicitly states it on the Government website, yet people are being asked to show evidence, when they don’t actually have to, and that folks is disability discrimination, which is against the law.

The superstore will tell you that their store is not a public space. But a public space refers to an area or place that’s open and accessible to all people, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age or socio-economic level, even if the store is privately owned, they’ve made it a public space by telling the public what hours they will be open from and what time they close.

Places such as squares, parks and connecting spaces, such as streets are also public spaces, even if they’re owned by a private company.

They’ve now put shop marshals in superstores to deal with non-compliance of masks.

These people are not the police and they can’t enforce anything, they can’t touch you, that then becomes assault, and that is an arrestable crime, and I can see over a period of time that these stores will be sued by numerous people.

I’m not implying that everyone shouldn’t wear a mask, if you’re not disabled in any way and can wear a mask, then, of course, you should wear one. Not just for the benefit of others, but also the benefit of yourself.

These people in the stores are just shop marshals asked to do a pretty demeaning job of being demeaning against disabled people and clearly, they have no respect for themselves, let alone disabled people.

This is not 1939, but it is becoming Nazi Britain – next Boris Johnson will be donning a moustache and everyone will be yelling heil Hitler.
