COULD someone please confirm with us, how far did Capt Tom Moore, actually walk.

As far as I can see, he walked the distance of his home, some 100 times. Not his garden, just the outside wall of his house.

Was there and back considered a lap, or just in one direction?

I am not wishing in anyway to take away his achievement.

He has now been made a honorary Colonel, and to be given a Knighthood, recommended by Boris Johnson, or was it Dominic Cummings, in the hope somehow, it would make Johnson, look good.

It was the media who jumped onto this story and milked it. They, have actually raised all that extra money.

He, Mr. Moore, comes across as a lovely old chap. His daughter is pleasant.

But, my suspicion, is that the whole story was blown out of all proportion.

Since then, we have had a number of other elder people saying, 'look at me', and done similar stunts. Young children, and so on.

Will they get given Knighthoods, somehow I doubt it.

Having, said all that. Anyone working for the NHS, are already paid, by we the taxpayer. And we are 100% genuinely grateful. Also to all, key workers.

We are in difficult times. One, where in my opinion, your Government have mishandled.

They panicked. They have wasted billions of our pounds. They may have even taken us out of the G7, as our national debt is now massive.

We are out of the European Union.

But, what do we do. Tell everyone to wash their hands! But you can now go to the seaside, contaminate and pollute our planet to total destruction.

Do you care? Apparently, not!

Instead, we investigate the possibilities of living on other planets.

Having, ruined this one.

Why, must we use our intelligence, to ruin and destroy.?

We invented, God and religion. We created money, finance, trading, etc, for what? Pure greed and control.

That is not being civilised.
