Of course people are right about not wishing ill on people, but unfortunate there are so many people we have to worry about at present that we all mentally categories them
We made friends among the Traveller families who have remain living in the appalling conditions they were forced to in normal times - I wonder all the time how they are getting on
A close friend in London was a Kurdish refugee living in an over-occupied tower block in North West London - I worry how Ali's family is getting on all the time
Some of my family live in areas poorly served by hospitals at the best of times and cannot afford private attention
That list is endless
Many of the people on it live as they do because of the system either forced or inveigled on us by people like Johnson so, with the best will in the world, while I don't wish anybody ill, he comes pretty low on my 'Get well soon card' list and I have no intention shedding crocodile tears for his recovery - he'll have to wait in the queue like everybody else has to
I'd be fascinated to see how the "let them sleep in the park" crowd would have reacted if it had been Corbyn or the one they keep comparing with a hippo had fallen ill - but that's probably my evil sense of humour
