The WHO says the UK is still in the “active” phase of coronavirus – and people should adhere to the rules and behave with caution.

Boris Johnson – who has not attended a COBRA meeting for over a month –  says “shop with confidence;” or, to put it another way, “shop ’til you drop.”

It is now clear to all but the most dense that Brexit was a rich man’s game: the idea  being, persuade by any means possible the plebs to vote for it, and meanwhile take out almighty bets against the British economy.

Chillingly, the virus response is going the same way: a few plebs and proles are dispensable: profit isn’t.  Simple as that.
