    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just what would these people do if they start to realise they have covid-19? They won't seek out an empty grave and climb in. They will try to get to hospitals. Or drive suicidally to have a last blast. Or die in their flats, houses, cars. Bodies everywhere. Lovely for someone to have to clean...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Round here, without visitors, it is unusually quiet for the time of year. But it is actually unusually quiet for absolutely any time. At around 14:00 today, one retail park (grand term for a few out of town shops) had the sort of number of vehicles in the car park that you might see at 08:00 on...

    I'll accept you can argue that. But I'll disagree. Partner and I have been socially distancing and, to a considerable extent, actually self-isolating all the way through.

    We could all interpret this as he (possibly? probably?) meant. But the sheer incompetence of putting these words together in a country being told to socially distance, self-isolate and shield in every direction, is mind-numbingly grotesque. Raab says the critical ingredient is for the country...

    Would make more sense for Missouri to sue DT who made it worse, worser, and worsest. Indeed, he's having a perfect, beautiful pandemic. Just remind me of the deaths in China - however many times adjusted - against those in the UK and USA.
