Interesting and depressing analysis of how Johnson “led by the science” and the 24 hour news cycle has caused him issues.

Proceeding with the first stage of the election was curious but matters have moved so swiftly in hours and days not weeks. I suspect the election was overtaken by events. While call for social distancing and bringing in strong regulations to ensure it happens and then people voting makes little sense. However the Corona Virus story is the only story in Town and has already moved beyond that just as it has saved Priti Patel’s job in the UK.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.3 -
Interesting tactic in the new advise from the Johnson.
Advise people not to visit Pubs, clubs and restaurants. Then with no customers they close with the Government having clean hands. Quite the opposite of many EU countries who have ordered the closure of in some cases a long list of places including (keeping to the spirit of this thread) estate agents!There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.2 -

mass layoffs and huge unemployment is inevitable now
the greater depression we are facing will go down in history
