Thanks to COVID, I will never trust our government again.
Not this one. Not the next one. Not the one after that. No matter who is in charge, no matter what party, no matter what face they put in front of a camera to reassure me.
Because we watched what they did.
We watched them lock people in their homes, destroy small businesses built over lifetimes, and call it safety. I watched them separate the dying from their families and call it compassion. I watched them inject fear into an entire population on a daily basis and call it public health.
We watched them mandate experimental injections under the threat of losing your job, your career, your ability to participate in society and call it a choice.
We watched them silence doctors who dissented. Destroy researchers who questioned. Humiliate and defame ordinary people who simply asked to see the data.
We watched them change definitions, manipulate statistics, move goalposts, and smile through every single contradiction while the media applauded and the critics were banned.
And when the harm became undeniable when the injured filled forums because the hospitals wouldn’t listen. I watched them look the other way, cover their tracks, and quietly rewrite the narrative before anyone could hold them to account.
Not one resignation. Not one apology. Not one moment of accountability.
Just silence, arrogance, and the quiet assumption that you would eventually forget.
I have not forgotten.
And I will never trust them again.

I am 100% Chelsea, but some things extend beyond banter and rivalry. Today marks 37 years since 97 Liverpool fans went to Hillsborough and were UNLAWFULLY KILLED as recorded at 2016 inquest. To this day, nobody has served jail time.
We played Leicester that day, and the police and fans ripped down part of the fencing on pen where our fans were due to crushing. The difference was that the police were inside the fence getting crushed alongside fans. At Hillsborough, they were pitchside, hitting fans with batons trying to save themselves.
Any Chelsea who went to Hillsborough will know that it was disaster waiting to happen & could have in 1985 at the 4-4 League cup replay.
The cover ups, the lies, and those in power who protected themselves are guilty of the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history.
I am thankful that neither I, my friends, or Chelsea fans were ever caught up in such a tragedy.
So today, I remember those who lost their lives and families that fought so hard for justice, some dying themselves without seeing justice. Also, the fans who lost someone or had to witness the events of that day.
RIP The 97. May you never walk alone.
We’ve had some big goals late on in games, and a few very recently 👀
Late Ireland goals but they get later & later, a thread 🇮🇪🧵
