Minus Queen Times Covid Nineteen

U K minus queen, where  All's not as it seems; the crowds Will Gather, there will be much piety and blather,  shoulders 
To  be rubbed, as people dive into the hub-bub at the 
Shop restaurant golf club or pub, has something been
Forgotten? that prior was reported ; of ad-nausem top
To bottom, covid nineteen! prevelant on radio TV screen
Of an era with the Queen, remember; don't go getting it '
 Is it still on the scene.? Or is just I'm confusing it with
The prevelance of reports on  the dying of a queen? 
Of course you will not catch it.' Socially if you mourn
The British Queen.! I mean how could a dose of covid
Ever so tasteless be regarded important; next to the wake 
Of the reigning queen? So go,  out to the highway and
Gather on the strand; wave your flags don black cry on
Others shoulders, in some anti-quarrantine.' And how '

I hear lies and distortions all day in the USA. Are we not big enough to STOP making up tales? The pharmaceutical industry has all kinds of poisons patients take willingly. Yes, they make money and so does your doctor. We are so jealous of anyone who makes more..so did Hitler. More love, less jealousy. Pangie xx

I don’t guess facts. I can’t believe lues newsfolk tell with a straight face. And people eat it all like banan cream pie. God runs the show! We think we do or mean, heartless leaders that have no brains. Nor do I salivate over nature..I appreciate it. I love truth and sanity far more. Merci, Pangie xx

I suppose we will have to consult the experts.' As only they can Get the reality.. We lesser beings can only guess.? even with the Facts in front of us.!

They say that 400 a day are still dying from it over here so we are not home free. I expect there will be an outbreak over there. It is not making people as a whole as sick since the vaccinations, but some will die from it after this event. The Queen had it in April and I expect it played a part in her death. We just got our boosters to help us through the winter. We don't get out as much or at least I don't so we don't get exposed as much but one time is all it takes. I enjoyed reading your ...

Yep, we do get our priorities mixed up, often with sentimentality helped along by the press. I really have come to wonder, if anything we are being told is real or mostly manufactured. The Deep State throughout the world, not just here in the highly doctored-up USA. Viva Italia! A brave lady!

Yes hypocrisy is another whole Religion, I sometimes think.' But I'm not sure on 'climate Change as much as I once was I know Japan and Italy have falling populations now, I am all For caring for environment yet see also many harms eco drivers are doing so it's far from Clear.'

All pomp and circumstance, Joe, Still i maintain, when analysed there be an almighty profit made from it all, as for covid, there are more billionaires now than ever. On Bloomberg tv, the word million an archaic word. It's all about billion and trillion. So much bullsh*t in the world for you and i, meanwhile the rich just get richer.

I've been saying the aim of a million or a few is overshadowed by the amount of billions mentioned in news And other sources, fir 30 years Now, it's unsustainable behaviour from those who flout Sustainability.'
