A few of cartoons to describe the current situation.
The Torygraph (maybe less so the Borisograph) takes on the anti- social controls perspective to the pandemic response. It is all too much to have social restrictions when I presume there are pubs that need costumers to spend money. The commentators libertarian perspective is that the controls are undemocratic, possible unBritish(or is that now unEnglish), and that the response is killing the economy (that is the money side not concern about the people side. It is seen as an either/or and not that if the pandemic is raging then people will be sick/ not at work/ and not keen to socialise anyway.
With the recent focus on money with the mini Budget announcement, apparently austerity is not back – unless you are a low paid public sector worker of course or if you were a beneficiary of overseas aid. Moral compass and soft power out of the window.
I like the ‘Chum Aid” reference, as lots written about contracts and jobs for friends in the pandemic response. Known as corruption otherwise.
The issues grow and nil looks good.
