Don’t be fooled by the sunshine – there are only dark days ahead

Mail on Sunday
Except, in this case, we will all be permanently less free and permanently poorer. And that will, of course, include the sacred NHS, which the nation love-bombs every Thursday night but which is already so threadbare that it cannot properly equip its doctors and nurses. Just wait and see how much worse this gets in the coming era of post-shutdown austerity.Not to mention all the various zealots and fanatics who already see this new world as an opportunity to impose their various dogmas and fads on us. ........They cannot admit they (govt) gravely overestimated the danger of the virus, and gravely underestimated the damage they would do to the economy. .....Tell them that this has gone on long enough and is now bound to cost more lives than it saves, as well as all the other damage.... For, if something does not give soon, I very much fear that millions will simply cease to obey rules which no longer make sense. Without a clear hope of release from house arrest and forced idleness, many people will despair. And it will be grim for us all if that happens. "
