Read The Times this morning, @johnm ?
Liddle certainly does have a way with words that sometimes... well.. y'know... really gets to the heart of some things.

There will be a study done in about 2027 that will prove it was neither pangolins nor deranged commie Chinese biotechers who were responsible for the vast death toll from Covid, but ski bunnies. Ski bunnies returning from stricken Italy were responsible for the first wave over here. And now they’re at it again, desperate to surf the piste and then later develop a mysterious ticklish cough, which they will bring back to share with their friends Ivo and Sophia over a kitchen supper in Fulham.https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ther ... -vpxz6h7nj
I thought Covid might have reined in our wanderlust a little, our enormous sense of entitlement to unlimited foreign travel. But nope, not even remotely.
The more I hear about the enfeebled Omicrom the more I'm starting to think we should lift all restrictions and bring on the next variant. Boris Johnson's new catchphrase should be something like "let's put the intergalactic thrusters on Covid evolution". Whaddyathink?
