Dear Britain,

These are pictures taken this week of New Zealand’s PM & her citizens who are no longer wearing masks or worrying about their loved ones possibly dying.

The chaos of COVID-19 in Britain is entirely, utterly down to the actions of this government.

This is a fact.
Tories & many of the public have been radicalised (yes, radicalised) to think that the actions of Johnson, Cummings & the Leave government are somehow justifiable. The world is not dumber than us, the world is not stupid. We are just as prone to corruption as any other country.
And it is vital to see this in the context of the actions of a Party that has been actively participating in giving millions of pounds to their friends, lovers & party donors during the COVID crisis. Hundreds of millions of pounds. And hiring them in senior positions.
And it is also vital to see this in the context of the actions this government has taken over the last few years, where they have proven to have broken the law, cheated and lied in courts of law. If you do not trust the authorities, or the law, why do you trust rich men more?
Simply put, why must you behave like sheep, ready to do as their suited, etonian masters desire, no matter what. Have you no agency, love for yourself, or belief in kindness? People are dying because of incompetence of ideologues and policy makers, not because of fate.
Nb: New Zealand’s population is irrelevant. It is the North of England that is suffering, where cities & towns with less than a million people are suffering most. Don’t be obtuse on purpose. It is unfair and at best unkind.
