During the course of this week there were two days worthy of note and observation, but which may have escaped our attention because of our understandable concerns and pre-occupation with the threats and dangers of COVID-19.
Wednesday 22nd April was Earth Day, calling for us to pay special attention to the protection of this planet, especially its environment and the fragility of so many aspects of its eco-systems. It is truly ironic that people have been compelled to shelve those plans because of the raging effects of the worst pandemic in centuries.
Our nation is a very special case. At this juncture we are suffering from the combined effects of the coronavirus and the machinations of a dictatorship in full gallop. The current State of Emergency is being abused as a shield behind which they practice their devilry.
This most recent development is a powerful reminder that the present regime is a clear and present danger to our democracy, our system of government, and to our personal rights and freedoms. We all have to be of great courage, to stand tall, and be ready for them when we go to the polls. This lot has to go!
