From The Mind of Merc - Priorities

 Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today given the recent emergence of yet another variant of coronavirus which once again threatens our Christmases, I was thinking about the UK government's prioritising of their bank balances over everyone else's has undeniably contributed the longevity of the pandemic.

When our leaders are more focused on the money they can make from the situation than actually dealing with the situation itself in any sort of effective way in order to protect the lives of the people it is meant to represent - as demonstrated not only by the numerous highly questionable 'donor deals' that have taken place since the outbreak but also by the disinclination of our illustrious leader to bother to turn up to COBRA meetings for the first few months of the crisis - it should come as no surprise that our ability to overcome or at least subdue the rampant nature of the virus is considerably and interminably delayed.

To demonstrate this in cartoon form, here's one I made earlier. (And I effectively only had to change 1 letter.)
