It’s a shame that Tom Moore died, but his death is bringing out the worst of British jingoism.
The hashtag ‘Rest in Power’ was trending over it. Poppy season 2021 is almost definitely going to be a binfire.
And the British government, who have done fuck all to prevent the 108,000 covid deaths, are now encouraging a “clap for Tom Moore” event which spits over all the other deaths.
It should never have been the responsibility of a 100 year old man to raise money for the NHS.
