There is a cheque in the post


How many times have creditors heard the words there is a cheque in the post. My thoughts and words are my own. Often, I do not communicate them. But now I feel that I must.

A global calamity is at our feet. Our leaders, in nearly every country, are reacting and mouthing the same platitudes.

I constantly hear the words, “the ventilators are coming next week, the tests will be here next week, the human resources are coming”.

These platitudes are repeated endlessly whenever a difficult question is asked.

The words that I do not hear are “I was warned that this was coming and did very little or nothing about it. I have failed you. I resign to let someone better experienced to run things: someone from the front line who has put their life at risk for others”.
