"Boris battles experts to save Christmas"

So lead the banner headline on the front of today's Daily Express.

It went on: "Boris Johnson is battling to save Christmas after gloomy scientific warnings against easing restrictions."

The PM has had enough of experts, especially when it comes to approval ratings and good headlines.

Meanwhile the virus itself is said to have agreed to take a five day break over the festive period.

Or something.

For each day of social mixing allowed over Christmas, it is said the country will have to have five days lockdown to "pay" for it. So, five days party equals twenty five days under effective house arrest.

Either the Government follows scientific advice, or does't. I suppose at least we know for sure now, that the PM really has his main tactic crossing his fingers and hoping it will go away.

To allow mixing of several households, inside, is madness, just so the country can pretend all is well. Those in hospital at the end of January and in the morgue by the middle of February might have different views on the policy. Those that live, anyway.

We will only mix with Jen, and no one else. And I hope all will be equally careful. No pubs for us either, just keep safe. Keeping us safe, keeping you safe too.

And why does everything have to be "battled". Everything battled or fought? Johnson is a fucking clown not a soldier.
