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.
