 A year ago this week, unimaginable things happened to the whole world, probably caused by unverifiable human error in a secretive State. First we couldn’t travel, socialise or go to work. Schools and eating establishments closed, followed by something unheard of: a national lockdown. How on earth would everyone afford to live? Who’d  have wanted to be a national leader at such a time, having to deal with an unprecedented disaster for which there were no guidelines anywhere? Last night I was watching a new documentary on Churchill and wondered what he would have done.  Certainly Boris is a maverick, like him, and that’s exactly what was needed in such an emergency. Daily I read on social media the left wing views of so many, castigating what the government has done and rubbishing the PM and his appearance, completely ignoring the amazing systems he’s put in place over the last year. Who cares what Boris looks like? I shudder to think what Corbyn would have done as PM. Instead, TG, state of the art vaccines were produced, we had daily public scientific advice on data and guidelines, new NHS protocols and financial furlough packages, welfare benefits etc. About time we congratulated Boris for a job well done.
