In the headlines from America we are been told president Trump is stepping up his reelection campaign by criticising his predecessor POTUS forty four, Barack Obama who has spent nearly four years keeping a dignified silence about his successor until now. In a televised speech congratulating graduating students he skilfully called out Trump as a big baby without saying the words. In a response Trump openly called Obama a "grossly incompetent" president to reporters as he returned to the Whitehouse which shows the character of the man who is so petty that he is still trying to blame the state of the country on someone else even when he has had the job for over three years. He then went on to say that live sports were good for the collective psyche when he dialled in to a live golf broadcast to applaud the event. How can a man who clearly has a broken manipulative narcissistic psyche really tell others what sport does for people. Also the Biden campaign team picked up on a statement Eric Trump, the president’s son, made and branded him “unbelievably reckless” for suggesting the pandemic is a Democratic plot to stop his father campaigning and will “magically disappear” after election day in November. Clearly stupidity really is hereditary in families because this son is as stupid as his father.
So leaving the stupidity running America, let's take a look at dear old Blighty and what our own stupid politicians are BSing about today. From today loss of smell or taste has been added to the UK's list of coronavirus symptoms that people should look out for and self-isolate with. Until now, only a fever and cough were triggers for people to shut themselves away in self-isolation in case they had and could spread the infection. Ear, nose and throat doctors had been warning for weeks that more symptoms should be included. Scientific advisers told the government to update the advice. On the back of the scientific advise it has also been reported that Security guards trained in crowd control are going to be put on duty at some major railway stations following the easing of coronavirus restrictions. Train firms operated reduced services while the country was under lockdown, but more frequent trains are now running in England and people are being encouraged to go back to work, but only to use public transport for essential journeys when they have no alternative. Network Rail said passenger numbers on Monday were "very similar" to last week, when the figure was slightly up on the previous week. However, footfall through major UK stations was only about 10% of pre-pandemic levels, but some industry figures still expressed concern over increased passenger numbers.

New crowd-control measures on some public transport will include preventing passengers from boarding if there are already too many people which sounds good in practice but it will inevitably cause delays and people will need to leave plenty of time for travelling while employers ease up on time keeping till we are through this pandemic. The information flow is sadly broken between governments and employers who really don't understand the protocols fully to reopen their businesses safely which if we don't get the information flow right we will never get out of the grip from this virus.
Rant you tomorrow!
