I resent the virus and what it has done to us. I resent the stress and strain on my colleagues in the NHS but in particular those nurses and doctors just starting on their careers with no experience to help 'protect them'. I resent that I cannot see my children and hug them 1/n
I resent that I cannot see my Mum in Scotland and hug her (I'm not foolish enough to think I can manage the Christmas Armistice). I resent I cannot see my new nephew even though he is now 6 months old. (I recognise for lots of people that will be grandchild).
I resent the 2/n
loss of the arts and how they have been deserted (along with many others I know). I did manage to go & see Sleepless during the Summer and it was fantastic. It's just so cruel what is happening.
However I could manage all of the above if I was being led by a leader who cared 3/n
someone who didn't smirk at the camera as he delivers devastating news that he cannot reach the simplest deal with the EU. The fact we have a Tory Party - almost all their MP's -who are not willing to stand up and state this is not what the public voted for is quite simply 4/n
unforgivable. I have never felt such rage. Though a Scot I was always a Unionist - but no more. The English Nationalists have removed any thought of that. Now my Scottish accent is a blessing and I can speak to international colleagues without apologising - they know my pain. 5/n
However I am not alone and I recognise that their are so many good English colleagues who are being dragged into this mess Kicking and screaming. They like me do not want to be here and at the moment they and I have no leader. There is no one standing up for what I believe is 6/n
a massive majority of people across the UK - Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. I believe Scotland have a true leader but down here in England we are truly fucked. Our PM and his Cabinet are political light weights compared to those of the past. 7/n
They are supposed to stand on the shoulders of giants - those that led before but are not fit to clean the shoes of Major, Blair or Brown. They are too interested in currying favour from their supporters by corrupt funding.
WE need a leader to unite behind, someone to bring 8/n
the opposition together. A champion for the people. FFS we need parliament to realise the carnage that is being imposed on the general public. This cannot go on, either we change or the UK disappears. As someone from the EU put it 'so long and thanks for the fish!'
