Re: The Corona Crisis gets real (none / 1)
None of that is going to happen. What will happen is Civil Contingency, which is Whitehall-speak for Martial Law.

Elections have already been "postponed." Of course Brexit will still be happening on schedule, because the country needs something heroic and inspiring to celebrate during this difficult time.

And plans have been drawn up to allow the police to "detain" Coronavirus sufferers - a much more humane response than trying to find a hospital that hasn't been defunded by ten years of austerity.

Plans have also been drawn up to quarantine - i.e. murder by neglect - the elderly in care homes, and also in their own homes, should they be unfortunate to fall ill without a country house and an independent income to fall back on.

Meanwhile the wheels are about to fall off Wall St.

Interesting times. (I'm sure I've said that before here. But This Time It's DifferentTM.)

If the global supply chain dies Brexit can be a success. So simply if you think about it.
