Does the ordinary British bloke in the street know that they have Covid "passports" in Europe, and they are freer because of them?
I don't think he does.

Does the ordinary British woman in the street know that there are no empty shelves in European supermarkets, and that the shortage of HGV drivers only exists in the UK, because of Brexit?
I don't think she does.

Does the ordinary bloke in the street know that in the USA and in Europe, they've been vaccinating kids for months without drama?
I don't think he does.

I don't want our children to get covid, or long covid, or wind up in hospital at the rate of 1,100+/month. This regime does want them to get covid, and long covid, and has no problem with 1,100+/month of them winding up in hospital. This regime has contempt for our children.
There is no other way to interpret a strategy combining high community prevalence with the removal of mitigations in schools.

And the repeated forays into disinformation - schools are not vectors, covid is benign in kids, "natural" infection is better than vaccination - only add a layer of cruel confusion onto a bizarre policy of enforced exposure to a terrible virus.

If my policies in government had caused a breakdown in the supply chain such that food wasn't making it to the shops and restaurants of modern Britain, I would apologise, resign, and crawl under a rock in shame.
If I had presided over 150,000 deaths, and effectively caused many of them....
If I had lied to the people, lied to the Queen, and made a mockery of Britain's democratic norms....

When you think of all the disruption to school life the kids have endured, to tell them now that we're happy for them to catch it - when we have approved vaccines we could give them - seems like something of a hard boot in the teeth.
And to suggest, as one member of the vaccines committee has publicly done, that long Covid is "in the mind" when the evidence is the opposite is yet another insult. And speaking of mind, the cognitive harms even to those who feel recovered are worse than a stroke! Lord help us.

Apart from failure to secure food supply, failure to control the pandemic, failure to get us working, failure to get us travelling, stealing our money on an epic scale, dividing us bitterly, and killing 150k of us, it's been a top government so far.
Apart from alienating the Scots, alienating the Irish, alienating all of Europe, making buying from Europe a costly nightmare, making selling to Europe a costly nightmare, and establishing the UK as a bad-faith actor on the world stage, it's been a great show so far.
Apart from abandoning the norms of the unwritten British constitution, lying to the Queen, thwarting our sovereign parliament, overtly breaking laws, clamping down on protest, brushing away legal and electoral scrutiny - oh and lying all day long - it's been a decent govt so far.

Johnson has made a terrible, terrible decision today. Here's my summary of why:

1 (of 10) - Cases are surging. The first 19 days of July alone will produce *one million* new cases.
2 - Of these 1 million cases, 10-20% will develop long covid. This is a serious, multi-organ problem with unknown long-term impacts. That's 100,000 to 200,000 more sufferers, by the way. Created in the first 19 days of July alone.
3 - But aren't deaths, at least, low? Yep, but remember the lag. Victims take a while to die, especially as our treatments are better. Public Health England's Technical Briefing 17 suggests 0.3% of Delta cases will die. With a million new cases, that means 3,000 new deaths.
