I do have a few worry points. Food is one. I'm keeping at home and need to be confident that when I do venture out to forage there will be bread and eggs etc in the one and only supermarket. Which begs the question - what does Mr Johnson have in mind? Are we heading for troops on the streets, or ration books? Well Germany/France have not got to that and the Italians are a special case.<br /><br />As a practical matter how do you implement rationing in the supermarket age? All a bit late when some violent chavs turn up at the checkout with two or three barrows laden. Armed troops on the exit?<br /><br />We seem in a sticky position, how long can the economy stand the shutdown? In one sense this does not matter, every Western country is in deep doo doo. We will all rebase our economies and currencies to match. The Eastern economies will have to fit in or have no one to sell to. But I get the sense that sooner or later the thought of corporate collapses will force thoughts of taking off the lockdowns. Coordinating that with international borders and flights looks a mess.<br /><br />Then we ask 'are the over 70's worth the cost of saving'. Politically yes, economically probably not, morally? Come 2025 such oldies as are left may be the only Tory voters unless Labour keeps up its current uselessness.jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00470816959796395467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-32638080639890753962020-03-29T04:33:44.668+01:002020-03-29T04:33:44.668+01:00This via Perry de Havilland at Samizdata says it a...This via Perry de Havilland at Samizdata says it all:<br /><br /><br />https://www.samizdata.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/sounds-of-music-arrest.jpegDavid Bishopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-86784019753822968702020-03-28T23:31:28.722+00:002020-03-28T23:31:28.722+00:00The purpose of the hysteria is to rob us of our pe...The purpose of the hysteria is to rob us of our pensions, and to pretend that it all our fault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-24949583060240304192020-03-28T22:25:30.377+00:002020-03-28T22:25:30.377+00:00There's been a great deal of bull talked about...There's been a great deal of bull talked about smoking from both sides.
