KILLING JOKE : Downing Street is sensibly regarded as world beating in its reaction to the novel virus that has taught the world lessons most will forget.
It seems fair to allege that the U.K. must be near the top of the world league for countries who cashed in on the pandemic, and the closer your links to government the greater the cash.
Social care has also been a major player with tens of thousands of care home residents no longer needing a care or any home at all, thanks to decisions made early on by the Johnson government. The protective ring…
But perhaps one of the U.K. government’s greatest pandemic achievements lies in the field of producing dangerous new variants of the unique contagion?
“Sure Brazil and India have now joined the variable feast, but we were first,” a Health Minister tells LCD Views. “Remember the Kent variant? Who can forget. We made it at home and exported it to the world. That’s Global Britain in action. That’s Global levelling up!”

“Where would that place Johnson in the history books? Far to the back. That’s no good. All the countries that pursued zero virus strategies are barely going to get a mention. But the ones who went hard early and fast and made unique strains? Entire chapters they will get.”
It really is of course, just Johnson being Johnson. All his public works are ones that drive progress into reverse. Thanks to the virus, he was able to go global and put post Brexit Britain firmly on the map.
