    I'm surprised insurance companies are even covering holiday bookings at the moment.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    They have signed contracts for holidays booked before Covid and I don't see why they should think they can wriggle out of their commitments and get away with it.   No doubt, being greedy beggars, they've also accepted payments for insurance policies, with suitable modifications, since Covid and there again I don't see why they should wriggle out.

    The accommodation was booked in 2019.  My psychic powers failed to advise me that Covid would come along nearly a year later.

    Those people protesting in Trafalgar Square should be able to find out fairly soon whether or not they are right about masks and conspiracy theories😒

    Are we all thinking the same thing? The problem is that they’ll also infect their unsuspecting, undeserving social contacts.

    Or maybe they just want to inherit form grandma and/or aging parents?

    Use one of Boris's water cannons to spray them all with indelible dye.  Then round them all up and fine every one of them.

    Actually, if they could be identified - and the dye will do - it should be easy enough to collect useful data about the spread of the disease, hospitalisation, death etc.
     Also, we more sensible Londoners would be able to spot the lepers and keep away from them.

    They were sold for scrap for a fraction of what he paid for them, after the courts said their use would be illegal.

    What?  Like the £43 million of public money he spent on his fellow blonde airhead Joanna Lumley’s fantasy Garden Bridge before it was revealed to be a impractical pipe dream? 🙄
