I have just watched one of the most appalling video clips it has ever been my misfortune to see.  It consists simply of a white British man, aged in his mid-60s, I should guess, talking to camera.  What he says is not racist, sexist or pornographic, but it is a trap for fools; and it is evil.

The man in question is the owner of a chain of pubs.  I will not name him, or them, nor give a link to his video, purely and simply because I have no wish to promote, in any way, his message.   What he says is that in his opinion – he acknowledges he is no expert – but in his opinion, there is no reason to close pubs and restaurants at this time.  He does not consider they play any significant role in the passing on of coronavirus, and if he possibly can, he intends to keep his open.  If he does, he will have blood on his hands.

All that would be bad enough.  but what makes this message so terrible, is that he openly admits that his motivation in saying this is not for the benefit or comfort of those fool enough to be his customers, but for one reason and one reason only: profit.

His aim is to sell death to make money.

The same man,  with the same motive, was one of the most vocal supporters of Brexit.  Such men, and he is not the only example, set out to capture and corrupt the soul of the nation.  It is for that reason that I,  for one, will never relent in my fight against  everything he stands for.   At times such as the present, when the fear of death is all around, we should, we must, stand shoulder to shoulder with our fellow Europeans: their fight is our fight, and our fight is their fight.  Death knows no borders.
