Thanks for clearing this up, Dok. This has taken over a huge chunk of my Twitter feed today (and I swear I don't follow *that* many accounts across the pond) while leaving me with only a partial understanding of wth was actually going on.

Why? The uk gvt hasn’t requested people wear masks. You can’t buy them anywhere. There’s a shortage of PPE for staff who need them in, say, care homes. And the gvt policy on covid-19 is to let it run rampant through the population. There’s no track and trace and no clear guidance for how schools will reopen.

It’s a fucking shit show.

I broke up with a woman I liked quite a lot when she told me she voted for Trump in '16 because "Hillary was a bitch". That was the whole reason. She even admitted he was a horrible person and a terrible candidate even then. But, well, can't be voting for bitchez I guess... Of course, she still wondered why I just got up and left immediately after admitting all of that. Like, really???

Why yes, that's the top treatment for the virus! Ger in a car and drive over 200 miles! And when you really want to check your eyesight, nothing better for it than a CAHstle. I mean, if you can't see one of those, perhaps you shouldn't be driving! Pip-pip, bobs your uncle, cheerio Jack-the-Lad!

Apparently on the trip from London his wife was puking. Can't imagine not stopping for that.

Problem is, you can’t believe a word that comes out either of their mouths.

Didn't Princess Sparkletwat, Cyborg Jared and their spawn drive from DC to NJ or vice versa during quarantine? Or fly? Or burrow under the ground?

The Brits have had evil shitstains around at least since Edward Longshanks, may he have pineapples shoved up his jacksie for eternity.
