Is there anyone there? Options

Hello Bunnies, assuming there are any left still dropping into this local ranting page.
So with our beloved leaders shortly allowing us to venture forth into the local wilderness, the time for reflection seems appropriate.
So what, if anything, have we learnt?
Firstly Corona viruses, by and large, are pretty nasty entities, but so are rapists, child molesters and members of the Green party.
Secondly lock-downs, along with face muzzles and the unemployed do not work. It will only work where the population is sufficiently sparse in the first place, which rather negates the implication of one anyway.
And finally proof, if proof be needed, that we have engaged probably the worst Prime Minister since Lord North to run our Country. The man is a complete imbecile.
But as the majority of the great unwashed think he is the best thing since England won the World Cup, I am very likely to be ridiculed for that also.

But I am looking forward to two and a half weeks self-catering just outside Reykjavík.

As an occasional contributor, may i add a personal observation regard the two main parties ?
Labour seems to jump on the high profile, high vocal and politically correct MINORITIES.
Torys seem to appeal to the mostly silent, reasonably content MAJORITY.
Now soundbites, indignation and posturing are great, but they dont win seats (and power).
Am i right ? !

Yes. And Sir Keir taking the knee was a huge blunder. It alienates swathes of the working class communities. See Hartelpool.

Sir who? Someone with all the charisma of a dead hedgehog. Now I know we have slipped down the slope of electing candidates who have "media" appeal, aka the american way, but surely someone within the Labour ranks can see the harm being done to their credibility by a clown who punched a publican in the name of diversity?
But as we sit inside on a cold wet Sunday afternoon, in the knowledge that even if we wanted too, holidays of any sort are restricted to either Israel, where they just happen to be involved in yet another bloody war, in case no one noticed, and India that has decided to have its own variant of virus, because it is a "super-power".

Oh and the archbishop of Canterbury wants to remove any aspects of reference to 18th century history from ALL UK churches, because those who do not even believe in his particular sky fair, may be offended.
