The Government’s ‘Operation Terror’
Operation Fear, during and after the fallout of the E.U. referendum, was bad — but this is on another level entirely.
Walking past a bus stop on a deserted city road last night, I spotted an advertisement spanning across one side of the structure which read ‘bending the rules costs lives.’
You may have seen this exact image of a healthcare worker dressed top to bottom in full personal protective equipment, barely visible in the poster tinted dark orange, making it seem closer to a horror movie than a government awareness campaign.
Twinned with the equally ominous ‘Catch-ups cost lives’ poster, it is another gear on the Government’s vehicle to drive the population into a state of hysteria.
Operation Fear, during and after the fallout of the E.U. referendum, was bad — but this is on another level entirely.
Fortunately, I did not lose a sense of perspective when the advertisement glared back at me; no doubt there were worse diseases inhabiting the nearby local takeaways (one of which I was heading towards), and Coronavirus can easily turn into the least of your worries when you find yourself on an urban pavement in the dead of night.
