Fun as it is to see Peston stating outright what the situation is, here’s what’s going to happen: government and press will brazen this out with drivel until it drops out of the headlines, then everyone will get right back on their previous bullshit. This is what they always do, without fail.

I sort of think that the Covid times for many people utterly killed any sense that we all live in this world collectively and that you are actually obligated to be mindful of other people, and I think it’s a problem that goes well beyond just the Covid denialists.
Few things make me as angry as 'National Slowdown Day' People are out there driving like absolute pricks, it is getting so much worse, and the best we have come up with is 'please stop'
As if a person with that level of selfishness is going to hear about 'Slowdown' day and think it applies to them

The Taskmaster advent calendar has been great fun, and I'm sad there's only two days left - the final part of today's task broke my heart a bit 😅

Look, the pay off of this whole 6 7 thing better be us raising 6.7 million for the Toy Show appeal before the end of the show.
That's just good storytelling.
