Weird how cases started shooting up in different areas of the country at different times, but the scheme ran the same dates everywhere.

For someone so self-righteous, it's a shame you're not better informed.

So a third even bigger Covid spike, and then another round of tax rises to pay for those on furlough to get fat eating down the pub again.

How long till the next General Election?

I have heard people "in the know" suggesting a General Election at some point in 2021.

Is that a different meaning of "best" to the usual one?

Perhaps where "best" actually means "useless cretin"?
