The big wink (April 2020)

Only a fool could fail to sympathise with the victims of the coronavirus. Through no fault of their own they find themselves stuck in quarantine on ships or in hotels and many especially in China have died as we know. For all that I can’t quite square the saturation coverage of the virus in all media against the genocide being done against Syrian children in full view by the mass murderer Putin and his mate Assad. As ever the silence from the tramp in the White House is deafening, busy as he is overturning lawful jail sentences on his criminal cronies with the aid of his corrupted justice department. The E.U looks the other way pretending they see nothing for fear that if they do look they’ll be saddled with the refugees. Meanwhile Putin has the big wink to murder away from his admirers on the European right and the bastard in Washington. Yesterday was the anniversary of the bombing of Dresden when Churchill made the targeting of civilians a legitimate part of war thereby descending to the level of the enemy. All the same you would think that in the twenty first century deliberately blowing children to bits would generate a bit more response than a virus. You would be wrong.
