The first thing I thought when I saw it was - ARSE!

My second thought was "Whicker Man". Don't know why.

As we've been in lockdown where I live the whole time, I can assure you that it doesn't seem to make any difference whatsoever, or not since the Prime Minister's main advisor explained that we needn't give a tulip about any of it if we don't want to.

I got stuck in traffic on the way to Sainsbury's yesterday; back in April, I didn't see more than a dozen other cars the whole way there and back.

Everybody knows now that what's good enough for Dominic Cummings is good enough for everyone, and most people act accordingly

Schools are where it's spreading to families, yet they'll remain open.

Furlough ends today so new lockdown means all those people will be left to beg Marcus Rashford for food.

NHS capacity is what's driving it, like reducing the speed limit on motorways to the slowest oldest car driven by some absolute muppet.

Oh well, one last day in the pubs before they're forced to close, watching the Six Nations rugby.
