The latest mask thing is blown up by social media. One 'leader' in the NHS said it. This is followed by a storm of protest. Then statist, control freaks jump on the bandwagon, and their legacy media supporters come up with 'tidal wave of flu' bollocks. Ridicule or ignore, nothing else is required.

I've gone through the final sheets of Dark Agent. I was going to opt out because by this stage I'm past the boredom threshold. But I did it anyway. It's a fact that if I spent 2 or 3 years on a book, every little wrinkle would be ironed out. The drawback would be, well, 2 or 3 years between books.

They'll get compliance from those with a family and some sense of responsibility. Those with savings who are not similarly tied down will stop working or leave. A thousand a day are signing up for benefits. The very idea that Starmer and Labour are on the side of 'working families' is ludicrous.
