To describe the national leadership of Boris’s government as politically chaotic is to understate the case. The spectacular U Turn of loads more cash for businesses and individuals facing ruin because of restrictions in escalating Tiers, cascading out of the Treasury today when it was not there yesterday, shows that Downing Street was rattled that […]
It is now becoming clear. There is only one way to deal with Covid. Attack it. Go after it. Root it out. Extinguish it. The two countries best known for doing this successfully are New Zealand and China. The majority Western policy of defend by lockdown of varying degrees of severity, offers only respite and […]
