In a Crown Court in Bradford a Court Case is in progress where an ex Government Justice Minister appointed by Gordon Brown is on trial along with several others for basically saying they were running a Covid Testing facility and in actual fact they were giving out false results or no results at all to an unsuspecting population and getting a Government handout for doing so . It’s estimated that they made £6 million in 31 days.

Thankfully we are seeing some of these cases come to fruition, the five people involved who are on trial are charged with fraudulent trading, causing a public nuisance and money laundering.

Remembering back to those times and the fear that overcame us all with the situations that arose where normal social interactions ground to a halt and suddenly we were separated from loved ones at key times in their and our lives. We couldn’t see them in hospital or attend funerals for the sake of protecting everyone from infection. The charge of causing “a public nuisance” seems to me an understatement.

However it is a relief to see justice in action, it is horrific that all this money has been wasted and that no one in Government was qualified to say that these people were charlatan’s and should never have been put in the position they were. Justice Minister indeed!

Easter is coming and Chocolate is going to be in demand. Shelves full of the stuff, some better quality than others. Believe it or not in one London shop they are having to lock up ” Cadbury Dairy Milk” as it’s been targeted by thieves who obviously have no taste, haven’t they heard of Green and Black’s 70% Organic Cocoa?

Hidden pockets in coats to stash away Cadbury Cream Eggs. Sad to say these thefts have a knock on effect on retailers, both on their bottom line and on staff morale. It’s no big deal a few bars of chocolate is it?

Thankfully the Police are taking it a bit more seriously as they realise these are repeat offenders who get away with it once and keep on coming back with their rucksacks to fill with illicit contraband.

I don’t know what will be the most expensive Chocolate Egg in the shops this year, but if someone walks up to you in the pub and offers you one for a tenner, you can bet your life that they are not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts but leaving a trail of frustration and angst in their path. All for the sake of Chocolate.

The crux of this is that some human generated chemical bonds are resistant to being broken down by microbes and harsh saltwater conditions. Thus Nature cannot do what it is very good at doing and recycle and reuse everything on the planet (and the universe for that matter) down to the last molecule while we continue to thrust our man made products into landfill that then seeps into all areas of the environment.

Japanese scientists have been working on plant cellulose to make plastic packaging that can be broken down and I suppose to the layperson seems more natural.

So where does this leave us, basically we have too much packaging , and no matter how much we want to play around with the chemistry of packaging, what we really need is much less of it and we need to change our approach to having products on demand and one off use. Why not have a centre or a shop for bulk products that we can weigh and measure what we need.

We don’t want to spend the time doing this , convenience is king, when indeed will we have the time?
