Book Cover

I am way behind with these, but I have managed to finish editing.
My Forward: By the time I had finished London Colour 2, I had already made plans to continue with the series with a third book. Unbeknown to me of course was that Covid-19 was knocking on the door, I had already gone to London in February to cover the Chinese New Year festival and by the time that March arrived we were in lock-down. Travel restrictions were in place, apart from being allowed out for an hour’s exercise once a day I thought that the chances of doing a book this year were just not going to happen. By the time May arrived some restrictions were lifted, the Cabinet Office published guidance on "staying safe outside your home", comprising eleven principles which "all of us" should adopt "wherever possible" apparently “all of us” applied to you and I but not to those that were issuing the guidelines, or so it appeared. Social distancing and face masks became the norm on public transport and shops and a great deal of public money was squandered on protective equipment that was totally unsuitable, but no doubt someone in high office made a fast buck! Those within the NHS that were taking the greatest risk were given the accolade of a round of applause every Thursday evening at 20:00 between 26 March and 28 May 2020, the old saying of Don’t clap, throw money springs to mind, they’re still waiting. As the year progressed and some restrictions were lifted, I made the decision to book into a hotel for a week in August. . What I found was totally different place devoid of the usual masses and hotel run in such a way that it would have done justice to George Orwell’s 1984.
I should point out I am in no way trying to join the conspiracy theorist in any way shape or form, it existed I had it and lost a close cousin to it, it was very real. While hindsight’s a wonderful thing, not acting in time, making rules that apply to masses and giving yourselves immunity from those rules is the rule of Big Brother and despicable beyond belief. What you created with your rules and regulations was mass hysteria

For those that suffered.
