Lolzix, tikmēr hardcore Londonas ebreji ietusē un nebaidās ronu, jo visi tak ir puķītes pļavā. 

"England’s lockdown rules are being flouted in ultra-Orthodox Jewish areas, with large weddings taking place each week and schools continuing to operate, according to community insiders and local residents. 
[..] On the same evening, police attended a hall in Belz Terrace, a few minutes’ walk from the school, following reports that a large wedding was taking place there. However, officers were satisfied that the event was a communal service, which is permitted, rather than a wedding and no action was taken.  

“They start at about 5pm and run through until 3am or 4am,” he said. “A number of my former colleagues have reported these weddings to the police but they have turned a blind eye. What’s going on is morally, ethically and even religiously wrong.”

Es vispār brīnos ka The Guardian par šo uzrakstīja. Jo es domāju, ka bad faith in action - nosodīt kristiešus, bet ignorēt citu reliģiju haļavas ir business as usual?

Tantrums.  
Šodien tripoju bumbas uz ziņām, tāpēc iekopēšu vēl vienu rakstiņu. Lokdauns ir ideāls laiks pievērstos politikai un pasaules notikumiem, un pievērstos var būt pat kādai ideoloģijai. Labāk nekā alkoholam, un nekā cita jau esībā īsti vairs nav..
Jo kamēr tu kā sapelējis pūpēdis sēdi mājās uz furlough, īstie pasules dzīvotāji un patiesie cilvēki izdzīvo arhetipus tavā vietā. Varbūt es kļūšu par ģeopolipsihofilozofisko Foxu Malderu, kurš sakrājis tūkstoti avīzes izgriezumiņu un sakāris pie sienas ar striķīšiem, grauž saulespuķu sēklas, ar savu vāveri Čipotli, un domā par to, kā viņš nezina, ko tas viss nozīmē, bet ka the truth is out there..

Šovakar manu uzmanību aizķēra Astro vakcīnas afēra. Es kaut ko pa acu galam lasīju, ka Eiropa kaut ko tirinājās like a mean girl, bet nebiju iedziļinājusies, ka viņi riktīgi nocūkojās. a) nobloķēja Pficera vakcīnu ekskluzīvi UK b) tajā pašā laikā atļaujot citām valstīm reģionā c) atļaujot ievešanu Ziemļīrijā, tādējādi varbūt cerot uz kaut kādiem new tensions starp abām 4) apstrīdot vakcīnas efektivitāti, Makronam klaji izplatot fake news, ka viņa nestrādā. Daži trāpīgi secinājumu izgriezumi no Telegrāfa:

"Eurocrats are behaving not so much like mini-Trumps as like 1960s Nasserite dictators. They are deliberately disrupting supply at the height of a pandemic. And their petulance, shockingly, is aimed at the only pharmaceutical company in the world which is high-mindedly offering the vaccine to all comers on a not-for-profit basis. The British government, like AstraZeneca, wants to spread the inoculation programme globally, reaching countries that can’t afford their own vaccines. This is the thanks we get.

For at least some British Remainers, the events of this week have served as what Western Communists used to call a “Kronstadt moment”. Kronstadt, the site of a naval mutiny against the Bolsheviks in 1921, became a shorthand for the moment when a previously loyal party member suddenly grasped the true nature of the Soviet regime. For some, it came with the 1956 Hungarian rising, for others the 1968 Prague Spring. For some, it never came at all. But it always involved a wrenching mental reset, a readiness to look again at old certainties."
