One of four charts for consideration.

Immigration fear is no longer a big thing after Britain ran into supply chain difficulties. Image
Two of four: concerns about poverty and inequality continue to run high. Image
Three of four : concerns about the economy increasing steadily but not yet as high as the 2008 financial crash. Image
Four of four: #brexit concerns are on the increase again as #Covid_19 concerns decline. ImageImage

It was difficult, though, to make direct comparisons, said Prof Sir Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, because of variation in testing rates.

“If you look across western Europe, we have about ten times more tests done each day than some other countries per head of population,” he told MPs.

Hospital admissions and death rates are a more reliable comparison.

Daily deaths per million

Stanley Johnson, like father, like son. Interview from 2009 about his book which is crammed with insights into the Johnson family psyche.

All the things people suspect of Boris are found to be true of his father, by his own account.

independent.co.uk/news/people/pr…
Stanley has fixated on overpopulation yet he’s not embarrassed about having 6 kids and just treats it as a bit of a joke. "The population explosion was taking place in the Third World."

The implication is that the planet should be jolly glad to have so many Johnsons.
Their money comes from an ancestor who left the family farm on Exmoor to find his fortune in the City of London. They have genetic links to Turkish politics and George II.

Brexit has damaged 🇬🇧position as a gateway to Europe for imported goods and increased red tape

As Thatcher said we were the gateway to Europe, to get investment from Japan here: Honda, Nissan, whatever. So once you’ve imported it, it’s then free to go anywhere.

Thread
There’s now no point. Unless it’s going to terminate in the UK, what’s the point in bringing it here? If it’s going to go into Europe, go to Paris or wherever it may be. And we are seeing that stuff that used to come here is just not coming here anymore.
But Brexit is no longer the only problem on the table, with the prices of imported goods skyrocketing due to the pandemic

For air freight, the prices have doubled or tripled in just getting stuff out the country.
