Well, only a couple of days left in April, Then on to a new month of rants. But for now let's check out today.

So, in America Trump stays out of harms way after his cock up last week, but his VP Mike Pence defied rules to wear face masks as he visited a clinic in Minnesota. Everyone else on that visit wore face masks and when asked about his decision he simply said "That he and everyone around him are regularly tested for the coronavirus. And since I don't have the coronavirus, I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to be here, to be able to speak to these researchers, these incredible healthcare personnel, and look them in the eye and say thank you". Pence has openly defied advice to wear face masks from the very beginning of the pandemic and carried on travelling the country even though one of his aides was one of the first to test positive back in March. Trump has also said previously he has no plans to ever wear a face. Are these guys just stupid or do they really believe their religious beliefs will protect them. I am not wishing ill health on either of them, but a good dose of coronavirus might just bring sense to the senseless.

So back to another senseless leader and in dear old Blighty Boris Johnson has become a father again as his fiance gives birth to a son, I know this is a bit of good news, but is it really newsworthy, millions of British women give birth everyday and they aren't slapped all over the news. Let's hope this little fella grows up to have more sense than his father and isn't just another F****** private schoolboy prick. Good Luck Johnson Junior!

And back to the coronavirus it looks like the border wars are escalating between England and Scotland as the Scottish parliament advises on the use of face masks and the English parliament doesn't. Is this the start of Scotland's fight for Independence ahead of the full Brexit roll out after the UK government dismisses the Scottish governments advice. Let me know before hand, so I can move north of the border before the wall goes up along the new Hadrian's wall. 

Other good news to end on today is the scheduled fly pass to celebrate Captain Tom Moore's birthday which is an excellent idea and to top that he has received over one hundred thousand birthday cards. His fundraising has also nearly hit the thirty million mark. Good on you Captain Tom.

Rant you tomorrow!
