Which reminds me how it was, in first stages of cv19 lockdowns, that millionaires were given free food parcels because they were medically eligible.
Given to people who were nowhere near the breadline and not even wanting what they were given.
That's Tory socialism for you!

Whatever happened to that account? Nothing posted since June 2019.
 
Unsurprisingly, Boris has "vowed" to meet MPs to resolve the problem of visas for touring musicians in the EU. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-55654386
Clearly the Downing Street view is that the EU is to blame for this, but Prof Catherine Barnard has a more considered view of blame for this situation.
Then on Wednesday, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden blamed the EU for "letting down music on both sides of the Channel - not us".

Prof Catherine Barnard, deputy director of research organisation UK In A Changing Europe, told BBC News: "The bottom line is that the EU did offer up to 90 days, and with the possibility of being paid.

"I suspect the UK probably said no because they have a very hard line on anything that may even look like free movement of persons, which of course the UK had committed itself to stopping."
 
Another Marina Hyde classic: 'So Boris Johnson was cycling seven miles from Downing Street ? It's not far enough.'
I think both Marina and John Crace are struggling to keep up with the ready made satire. It must be difficult writing satire when it writes itself.
 
Johnson sleeps during the day and is perpetually late for meetings- who’d have thought? A known idler who prefers free holidays in Mustique to taking charge of the first pandemic in a century. The Times, in true Murdoch truth twisting fashion, has chosen to compare Johnson’s somnolence with Churchill’s need to rest while London was being bombed around him.

While The Times restricts its comparison to Churchill, the Daily Mail ups to sycophancy to new levels,

“Leonardo da Vinci, Bill Clinton and John F Kennedy were also said to favour midday snoozes”.
 
Brexiteers: “Take back control...”.... Tories: “Enjoy your >48 hour working week, you absolute suckers...” (BBC).

Were Brits not always working shite hours every week compared to other EU countries even when we were part of the EU?
I certainly don’t remember doing a nice easy wee 30 hours a week all these years.
