This perhaps? https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/ ... A-MyDQoLRI

TL:DR - Tories use cover of Covid/Cummings to slip through the new Agriculture bill, removing food safety standards, shafting UK farmers and paving the way for US imports.

Anybody else?

Which countries are less of a clusterfuck than ours?
There seems to be generally less arseholery north of the border, so part of me is tempted to let Nicola build the wall.

Failing that, Hebredean island, couple of dozen sea mines, and a .50 Cal with a really long scope - problem solved ;)

Canada appeals more and more as I get older. What’s really all that bad about Canada?

The culture is pretty similar to the US tbh. Very conservative outside of the cities, big gun culture, they even have institutional racism against an indigenous race.

Australia and New Zealand are the same.

Bearing in mind I live in the best bit, it’s not that bad here 🙂

Because neither should have been driving regardless of dumb excuse. It was a bullshit story to try and cover up his fuck up. Delving any deeper doesn’t change this.

To use the internet standard nazi comparison, it would be like digging up Hitler and asking if it was really true that he didn’t like Jews.

Obviously they shouldn't have gone anywhere in the car, but it's fucking good point irrespective of the lock down.

In other, more positive news, I see Remdesivir has been formally given the nod for use over here.

I'm guessing there's going to be a backlash at the current government at some point?
