Testing Testing

 

I don't read the Star but this front cover seemed apt.

The testing fiasco has had people in London claiming to have Aberdeen postcodes to get a Covid-19 test closer to home. Presumably people in Aberdeen have to do the same.

Matt Hancock "hopes" to have a robust testing regime in place in a few weeks. Well I am hoping for a white Christmas, we don't always get what we hope for. 

There is a 38 degrees petition to "Make our coronavirus testing system fit for purpose"

The testing regime leaves teachers and parents with no chance of getting a test. The "back to school" instruction is particularly ridiculous given that a gathering of more than six is illegal but having thirty stroppy teenagers sneezing all over you is fine.

The attempt to get sporting events going recalls the policy of "bread and circuses" of the Roman Emporers. Boris can tell you all about it in Latin if you like.  

This Eton mess of a government has long outlived its usefulness (if any).
