Meanwhile, as if there wasn't enough to worry and fight about, the Flat Earthers and other conspiracy fools have their say:

Street vomiting makes speedy return as pubs reopen across Gloucestershire
No surprise there. In a world of change, it's good to see that some things never change. Pavement Pizza on the menu again.

Sounds like after yesterday's "Grand Re-opening" the UK covid numbers are set to skyrocket in a week or two.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Maybe a UK government. Stephen Harper cut GST (Canadian VAT) from 7% to 5%.
It is the first time that any government has cut VAT.
Because they stand on the wall and say "nothing's gonna hurt you tonight, not on my watch".
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Farage will still be around, he won't rest until the UK has a deal with the EU that doesn't cede any of the UK's sovereign rights, because one assumes that talks won't stop if they haven't done a deal by then. Even then, he might return to haunt future governments if they look like they're weakening.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
No it's not. Alistair Darling cut VAT from 17.5% to 15%. Thanks to EU rules it cannot be cut below that. The beauty of VAT is the poor, who otherwise would pay no tax,or have to pay a 20% sin tax.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Post Independence Day, after the New Year festivities are over, we will have control over VAT, as well as so many other things.
That reminds me, I really must arrange for my single firework to be made. It'll be a bespoke job. Massive, mortar launched, with a starburst spread from 500' agl to 100' below the Edinburgh CTA stub. All fully legal and as safe as safe can be. I've got a ship's foghorn which will sound for 60 seconds after the last crackle of the firework. There will be much merriment, in addition to the usual Hogmanay malarkey.
It'll be fired by laptop at very exactly 24:00z on the 31st of December.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
For weeks now we in the UK and the planet have been bombarded with messages telling us which ethnic backgrounds and BMI’s have been statistically shown to be vulnerable to the plague and it’s (terminal) effects.
So I award the chocolate teapot award to the publicity director of this campaign on impeccable timing for the launch;
Body positivity movement: 'Why is my body not important?' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53283353
I wonder what General Practitioners will be saying to such examples of Homo sapiens when next they are in the surgery for a consultation on any condition? But then maybe the GPs will be afraid to mention their patients’ BMI as the PC “taking offence” brigade will be on the alert for any perceived slight or alleged insult?
