#FBPE #FBNHS. To: the people complaining about masks/mitigation. No, Covid might not kill you - though it might: depends on your physical health including conditions you might not know you have, such as silent hypertension or coronary artery disease. But that's not the point. The point is that if they're infected, and ill, the people YOU rely on without even thinking about it, can't do their jobs. If ONE train driver is infected and off work, it's no big deal. What if many are? If ONE delivery driver for a supermarket can't drive, no issue. But . . .

I'd be happy to lay down my life for my family, if I needed to. But I'll not lay it down for a corrupt Conservative government. You all have long recesses. You none of you work in Parliament on Fridays. You all have time for parties and second jobs. Do the teaching yourselves.

You have trashed education every time you've been in government. You further disadvantage the already disadvantaged. You treat teachers like dirt. I'm tutoring kids online, one to one, privately, and unpaid. But I will do NOTHING for the Tories who led us to a disastrous Brexit.

What I do not understand about @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour is this. 48% of the population voted to remain in the EU. Even if they cannot rejoin, they would at least appreciate closer ties - Single Market, Customs Union - & less hostility. They are a group that is completely unrepresented by any party that can win power. They are voters without anyone who is asking for their support. They are a large group, a group which, if augmented by new young voters who are pro Europe could give a party a winning mandate.
