The last time London was evacuated on this scale? Was the fucking Luftwaffe.
Honestly, if you live in London my heart goes out to you. Like my Muslim neighbours you had your plans cancelled at no notice by a guy who likes to cover his back at any and all cost. He'll lie and cheat and steal, seize credit where it isn't due - lets face it, any deal on the EU that is drawn up is mostly drawn up by exasperated EU members desperately trying to make some arrangement with a guy who literally insulted them at a dinner last week. And then he'll blame YOU for when it goes wrong.
The golden sun king on his gilded toilet of shit. Surrounded by a cabinet of shit. Mitigated by long suffering regional executives who have to do the tough things the sun king won't until somebody makes him.
If we people did this in the North, they would have been vilified. Demonstrating that Northerners couldn't be trusted to put the nation's self interest ahead of their own.
But hey - don't worry - this is the folks heading to their holiday homes and their families, spreading the virus to anywhere but London because hey - its the only city that matters when the chips are down.
Merry Christmas. Johnson has fucked you all.
(But you knew that already)
