I’ve come here from a thread where someone’s talking about how their nan is in end of life care and the hospice aren’t letting anyone visit her in her last weeks or over Christmas at all. It makes me so angry that lots of us are in Tier 4 and have to sacrifice seeing our loved ones, possibly for the last time, and (on a much more trivial note) can’t even go to a bloody lash appointment, but somehow it’s still fine for influencers to go through multiple airports, sit in a plane for hours and fly out to meet big groups of people abroad, even when they come from Tier 4 (Montana Brown, she makes me feel sick, and Grace Beverley LOL [she went before Tier 4 but defo when the new variant was around]). I don’t get why nothing is being done about this.
The most annoying thing about it is that as someone in my twenties, it feels like these people are getting more and more popular with my peers. And it’s always the most useless ones, like Montana and Molly Mae who add duck all to the world and aren’t even interesting in a reality TV way (eg Charlotte Crosby), rather than ones that have any interest in anything remotely worthwhile. Montana can’t even be come up with her own jokes as she plagiarises her TikToks from other creators. She posted this poll asking her followers if they want her to make content on these trips and the followers said yes, effectively encouraging her and others to monetise being immoral. And any time you criticise Molly Mae etc. you get a load of girls telling you you’re mean, jealous and insecure and to #bekind. They’re not being kind to us peddling us diet tea and product that doesn’t work.
But meanwhile, we have various politicians telling us it’s not worth it to visit our grandma, telling us to rat out our neighbours, posting police at train stations - which I get - but not even bothering to stop or test all these halfwits coming in and out of our airports. It feels a bit classist to me.
I see people on Twitter genuinely lose their tit whenever Gemma Collins does something like release a Christmas song but I’ve not once seen a trend raging at these people and it makes me despair. the level of bootlicking makes me feel ill
anyway, rant over. I can’t see my family at all this Christmas or do little things for myself as I’m in Tier 4. We saw a test centre being built the day before they announced Tier 4 so it’s obvious it was planned a while ago, so wish they could’ve given more notice and told us when London went into lockdown rather than me having to deal with two blows - not being able to visit my parents and not myself being able to go anywhere. My workplace gave me a load of free leave and I’m spending it like this will do it because it’s the responsible thing to do, but I’m sad about it lol
