At first, I was flabbergasted, slightly angered if I’m honest, by this morning’s Dompost editorial “In touch with our inner snitch” encouraging us to turn on each other. Then I remembered it’s just what the insidious left, the shouty-people, do:

President Trump was condemned for over-reacting while our Prime Minister was praised by our sycophantic press for her laid-back, do bugger-all approach “in keeping with the national character”.
The Prime Minister, and you, Health Ministry, both. You twiddled while Covid burned.
You make me sick. Now we’re all paying the price. Consider yourselves dobbed-in.
