The calm

In terms of infections and moralities, the UK is two weeks behind Italy, which means by Easter we might be digging something like plague pits. The country, of parts of it are in denial about what is coming. But that's the thing with reality, it never disappoints.

Tim Martin, who owns and runs 900 pubs in the UK said that closing pubs wasn't a good idea and an over reaction. And yet Government advice is to avoid them.

More Government advice is to work from home if you can. Wetherspoons workers are not allowed to wear masks or gloves, nor can they work from home. Maybe Tim is thinking of himself here? Quite why the BBC thought to ask his views rather, than say, a immunologist is beyond me.

Still more Brexteers, including Mr Martin thinks Brexit should be accelerated under the circumstances, as in his view, the UK holds all the cards.

Yes, he's right. And they're all Death.
