More preudoi-political bullshit.

The virus and Brexit are 2 completely separate issues. You'll be telling us next the virus was manufactured and spread all over the world just so we, the British, took our attention off Brexit.
Oh hang on - isn't that what you already just implied?
Less food and drink in restaurants and pubs to free up transport for post brexit.
Restrictions to prevent mass food riots?

I suppose the Labour party would have stayed in Europe, so not needed the transport freed up, and could have let everyone do as the pleased in the pandemic because there would be no danger of food riots.

Yeah, right!!!!

you are joking. Please tell me this is a woosh!
