Hello there - apropos your comment about my own regarding UK
intelligence & diplomatic services. I and members of my immediate
family are in the higher vulnerability category and it seems totally
legitimate to be curious about how a government served by the
two most experienced and well informed services in history should,
even now, still be playing catch-up in its dealings with this disease.
Add to that the long historical connection between this country and
the alleged source of infection and it looks like the Sunday Times
article now causing waves and a fierce rebuttal from, No 10 has
similar questions.

Hi MC - Antenna - fascinating little things are they not? I remember when my Dad took us to live in the Isle of Man after the war and seeing a swarm of them piece-meal attacking an earthworm - not a pretty sight. Appreciated your comments though. Thanks. P.

Thanks for the comment on H&M Don! From what the gossip mags say Episode 3 won't be far off! I suppose one could admire them for saying they want to be financially independent, even if I gather it is Prince Charles who is coughing up large sums to keep up their lifestyle. It just seems a pity about the family bust up, and I would think he might be a little lost in Hollywood after the novelty value has worn off. Let's hope I'm wrong.

Comment is about Stephen Gospage (poet profile)

Original item by Stephen Gospage

Capitalism...communism - whatever!
What happened to the intelligence and diplomatic services -
supposed to serve our needs at colossal public expense? Where
were they when the infection emerged? Then came the oh-so-
slow reaction that exacerbated the threat - with the failure to
offer proper protection at the outset to those most likely to be
victims of a virus that attacks those with least ability to resist.
Too much too soon = overwhelmed !
It's not as though the world hasn't known this sort of thing before.
We are supposed to learn from the lessons of history so why have
our public servants failed so badly to keep up to speed now when,
in their much touted global world, ease of contact has never been
so widely available.

It's not Capitalism that is at fault,
it's the damn Chinese who withheld the truth
and for all we know actually let loose the virus
from their Bio lab.
As for Gates, he is a typical Globalist,
who will do anything to keep his Chinese market share.

Guess who holds the "patent" for CoronaVirus?

Welcome to WOL. The 'ness'-ness of 'everything? OK. I buy it. But why would you never 'say' them? In spoken speech, I'm assuming.

it's just that so much of it is garbage.
