This blog that I’m writing is a message of hope for all those people who are alone and stuck at home. We’re all in this together and, at the very least, all the celebrity aristocracy are every bit as miserable as the rest of us.
I try to think about the time of the plague and the Black Death, and all those calamities that happened so long ago. What the fuck did the population of London do then? They didn’t have television – a result because there’s nothing on there that I like these days, anyways; they didn’t have computers or radios. All they had was each other, so they were the real Blank Generation. Now we have access to a lot more. I heard somebody walking around the reservoir near me say: “This lockdown is depressing. Thank God, I have some valium. It stops me climbing up the walls”. The one thing we all have is a conscience- some of us get to use it. The doctors and nurses and all the carer and support workers use their conscience every minute, of every hour, of every day, working tirelessly. To keep us all safe from the menace that is COVID-19. A big thank you to everyone out there for making our lives more livable. Please check out my Facebook page, as I’ve posted a video of a song of hoe that’s called The Angels are Coming.
Slainte,
