Prophetic words from Joni Mitchell.....Fifty one years ago.

" 

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

 

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees
Please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot"

Boris Johnson is in “invincible mode” and will push through a tax rise to fund social care despite...

Something along the lines of we will waste billions of tax payers money due to utter utter mismanagement and a ludicrous over reaction to a virus, but expect  taxpayers to pay more to cover the debt this has left the country in!!. Safe in the knowledge most will welcome this as progress and a wonderful social gesture.
