The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

 I watched TV for the first time in a long time the other week. It was Gogglebox, so it gave me a rundown of what people who watch TV have been watching. There was Health Check UK, and How Clean Is Your House? Coronavirus Edition. Isn't that sad? That if watching the news isn't bad enough then the programmes on TV are filling you with a sense of despair, dread, and fear just to make sure you're really feeling it. I seldom engage with the news, apart from the US Presidential Debate which is pretty fascinating. Four years and the best that could be found is Joe Biden? Really? How Coronavirus is terrible except if it affects someone who the media have told you is bad and then they were asking for it, they deserve it and it was their fault? I'm not all that thrilled with the direction the world is going in, but at least if somebody's politics don't agree with mine I don't wish them harm. You might want to sort that out, you're going in the wrong direction with that one. Finding joy or revelling in anybody elses suffering is disgusting, regardless of who they are. Is this what we have become? If you're supposed to be the good guys then I'd hate to see the bad guys.
