Allyson Pollock spot on. Exactly why no reaction to Leicester until so late. An elitist government which thinks everything can be solved by them giving our money to their donors in the private sector. No trust in us, our communities, our local government, our local workers.
We need a more coherent response to covid-19 than the government's ad hoc approach -

More holes in Cummings’ story than my grandad’s string vest. His wife was ill so should have isolated- he had no symptoms until Durham. They’ve had no tests. Test your eyesight by driving your family 30 miles on wife’s birthday? His wife can drive! As well as write imaginatively.

Why not use PA systems at football grounds to create atmosphere by relaying sounds of fans watching in their homes to the players? Surely Sky can devise the IT kit so the more people cheer at home the louder it is in the stadium!.@GaryLineker.
