Having mooted injecting disinfectant, and shining really really
bright lights inside Covid-19 patients, as possible cures, Trump has shone his laser-like
stable genius on a medical assessment of the UK’s missing prime minister, whom
he thinks is “ready to go”. Quite a lot of people in the UK have already been
thinking that Johnson should go, along with his cronies, to make way for a competent
government which is capable of dealing with this crisis, instead of the Dad’s
Army tribute act we’re currently saddled with.
Meanwhile, back in the grown-up world, Caroline Lucas has put
it very succinctly: “This global health emergency has laid bare the failings in
our current system. But, if we choose to, we can lay the groundwork for a
fairer, greener recovery, and rebuild a society that is more equal and more
resilient, and where people and Nature thrive.”
And the Dutch government have also been putting the
lock-down time to good use, producing a clear and convincing plan for a Green
Recovery from the pandemic, which could serve as a model for any responsible government.
