Agreed. Been saying it for weeks.
The whole war nonsense has worked. You see it in many ways but mostly in this garbage about 'now is not the time to criticise.....We all need to be in this together....we can have an inquest later'
Criticism is treated like treason.
It has worked a treat.
Marina Hyde did a good piece in the Guardian last week around the 'second-world-warisisation' of this. It's embarassing.
The whole war rhetoric seems to be a very US and UK style narrative, you see lots of things presented as war and the whole Dunkirk spirit, Churchill drum banging is never far away.
I agree OP, it’s pretty much windy rhetoric dreamed up by politicians in response to failing to control the situation from the start.
It’s still hit and miss at best and the NHS is under resourced in terms of kit but over resourced in the bloody nightingale hospital. How about using those beds for the people dying in the care homes??????
Old folk do not seem to matter in our modern society and the irony is they did know the meaning of the word war....

Its the media machine at work. Use of certain words and phrases that resonate with the simple minded, of which the majority of the population now is and falling for.

This^
Look at hoe much chinas numbers sticknout compared to the rest of the world
This is clearly a politcial game being played
They are desperately trying to suppress it like they have something to hide.
Agree with the points the OP makes. I do get fed up of people being unable to stay at home, when during the Blitz, you were lucky if you had one.
Massive que outside Wilko last week according to staff, one woman came out with only a watering can as a purchase. Ffs, you risk killing people so you can better water your Azelia's??
well I'm glad i'm not the only one who thought this.

Drove past “Range” the other day and there were loads of people coming out carrying paint and suchlike
Flip side to that is, if they’re at home doing DIY/Decorating, then they’re not laid on the beach or in the park, got to give people a bit of leeway
who knows..
as long as the store isnt giving it large about how heroic it is continuing to make a profit.
I got sick of the ads after about a week and it's getting worse.
just stick up signs and the perspex shields round tills and stuff. signage in store and stop acting like you are saving the planet by making money cos I can tell you not one of them is doing anything but jacking the prices up to max.
Often hear about people losing their "battle" against cancer.
Regarding the OP
What is the difference regarding shop workers, van drivers and NHS staff?
Surely they are all doing just doing their jobs as you say regarding van drivers, shop workers etc
I work in the emergency services and deal with life threatening situations everyday and now expected to deal with them without any PPE etc...I am just doing the job I was trained for same as shop workers, van drivers etc
