Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-4-2021: Yes, Prime Minister

4th April, 2021.

Yep: it’s Easter Sunday: and frankly?

I think it’s going to be a quiet day.

Well … bar the usual family dinner!

Here’s hoping everyone has a happy Easter.

Are you in the UK … ?

If you are, you’re possibly aware there’s plans for what’s known as a COVID passport: a document, digital or otherwise, that will show if you’ve been tested, vaccinated or have have ‘natural immunity.’   If you’ve had it, it other words.

The idea, if I’ve understood it, correctly, is to have some way of guarantee that people with one are disease free.

I think there’s possible problems, there.

Is it going to be digital, or paper?

I know a few people who don’t have smart phones able to deal with an app.

And that there’s a lot of people who couldn’t afford one, let alone know how to use one.

I’m also very aware that — a few years ago — the Government were planning to introduce identity cards: at a hefty individual cost that would’ve made it unaffordable for unemployed people like me.

That’s the problem — or potential problem —I’m looking at.

Is there a price?   How much would it be, if there was?   Would I, as an unemployed person, get help for it?

Out side of any potential human rights issues, it’s a good idea: if it allows people to go out, or get jobs.   It would get the economy moving.

But … ?

I think there’s issues: as there always is with these things.

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

*        I intend to, Olga!   And it’s the same here: we can met with up to six different people, from two different households: outside.   That’s going to be tricky, the weather’s all over the place!

†        There’s still a Brentwood Football club, Trevor?   Good lord!   Oh, did I see you post a selfie on FB, yesterday?   There’s editing features in your phone, if you wanted to get arty.

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        I’m working that out, Debbi!   Oh, that’s a thought, I’ve bought a book called The Five, from Amazon.   It’s about the Ripper’s victims, rather than the Ripper, himself: it could be interesting.   Oh, I’ve found another Creatures tune!

ª        Oh, crikey, Rosemary and Betty Clooney!   Thanks you for that tune: it’s VERY appropriate listening!   I knew George Clooney was their nephew: I never knew Miguel Ferrer was Rosemary’s son!  And he played drums on Keith Moon’s solo album!    Keith Moon’s!   I learn something new, every day.
