Goodbye & Good Riddance To 2020

For most of us, the year 2020 would be a good one to block out because it hasn't been a good one and considering it began with a threat of war with Iran after the killing of Iranian army general Qasem Soleimani via an airstrike and huge wildfires in Australia and it turned out it only got worse from there.   
In Britain Brexit finally got done and we got a taste of our future when 8,000 lorries parked on the motorway unable to get to the Dover Port but the big news was when someone got spat on by a bat in Wuhan, China and that set the tone for the rest of the year with lock-downs and Boris Johnson's 5pm News Conferences where he would explain his roadmap sorting out the Coronavirus, just that his roadmap took in plenty of Intensive Care Unit's on the route because the man leading the fight was the same one who boasted proudly about shaking hands with Coronavirus victims just prior to falling ill with it.
The UK Government has been awful but it isn't a patch on the United States Government which is run by a man who described it all as a hoax, blamed the WHO and China for his own inadequacies and then told people not to wear masks and to ingest disinfectant, before ending up in hospital with it.
Donald Trump is finished in the White House so thank goodness that's all over although he doesn't seem to think so which just makes it even funnier so we may yet see him outside Fourseasons Landscaping holding another press conference.
2020 was good for some though, right wing columnists, conspiracy theorists, billionaires and fascists did okay and the Pentagon released actual footage of a UFO which didn't get the recognition it deserved because it was in July and judging by the pictures, everyone in the UK was on a Beach after being temporarily released from lockdown.
Mother Nature got a well deserved respite and she dropped enough hints that something wasn’t quite right by increasing the severity of hurricanes, choking us off with putrid air conditions and burning significant portions of forests to the ground but when that didn't work she did the equivalent of sending us to our rooms and the air became healthier to breath, the lakes and rivers cleansed themselves and there was even fish in the canals of Venice for the first time in generations.
So all in all, the over-riding memories of 2020 will not be great but it only means that we can be certain that when we say Happy New Year tonight, we know it should be as we wave goodbye to 2020 with hands that smell faintly of antiseptic hand gel.
