    As Sir Winston said “Democracy is an awful system but it’s better than the others” or something like that.

    "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

    "An Enemy of the People" by Henrik Ibsen is one of the most insightful plays ever. He saw this coming nearly 140 years ago. It's good to know that we're only compounding old problems rather than inventing new ones...

    I thought most of the cases were in "hotspots". I know Barcelona cases are rising rapidly.

    It seems that cities and densely populated areas just can't be controlled.

    Great idea, send the feckers home so we can have the beaches to ourselves.
    We were doing fine till the tourists came back.

    Who would have thought that the UK would be better off than the likes of Spain and Australia who had almost got rid of it, but are now having a big surge in Victoria,with it appearing to be out of control.

    You're probably right, it's the extent of the bounce back that matters, Spain quantine was a good start, fook the airlines and holiday makers, the good of the country has to come first.

    Problem is that tourism pays the Bill's in Spain. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
