Plenty of ***** are also intelligent individuals who have been successful in life, but then you didn't need me to tell you that either.

Incidentally, like millions of other people in this country and beyond, I have no faith in Boris Johnson's administration whatsoever. I'm not sure what has led you to believe that anyone has to have faith in the Tories in order for them to acknowledge the threat posed by the Coronavirus and to act accordingly. That's another weird leap you've made.

Why hasn't the British government done what the Chinese government did? I don't know. I'm not a Number 10 insider.
You advocate for social distancing, the closure of pubs, restaurants and other businesses deemed not essential and restrictions imposed upon citizens' liberties, which includes yours of course. Not unnaturally I presumed you were a true believer in whatever .gov deem necessary as you haven't criticised anything they have done and offer no opinion on masks which appeared to be astonishingly successful in China with just 3.5K deaths from a population of 1.4 billion.
