Thanks Boris
As we know, a sinister aspect of the coronavirus debacle has been the emergence of volunteer police informers. We are aware of at least two instances where this issue has interfered with the daily lives of people within our circle of friends, family and acquaintances. In our limited experience, this makes it more common than a serious coronavirus illness.
A previously amenable neighbour informs the police about the visit of a parent to a nearby house. The visit was legitimate within current rules but the police arrived on the doorstep and all had to be explained.
Family members stroll around a park, but as they are not in the same bubble, different groups within the same family decide not to walk together in case there are informers around.
Thanks Boris.

A true Conservative, Burke, talked of the "unbought grace of life" as a desirable characteristic of a polity. Boris has certainly read this phrase and understands its significance. I wonder if he ever thinks of it, these days?
I wonder if Boris has actually recovered
Apparently, over Christmas, the virus will not be circulating, so that's alright then...
Sam - an interesting question. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten it, but what he has done with it I've no idea. It may be one explanation of why he looks so crappy these days, knowing he shouldn't be in this position.
Graeme - maybe he hasn't fully recovered because he looks so crappy and deflated, although still determined to put on a show.
Scrobs - it hates turkey and the heady aroma of plastic Christmas trees apparently.
