There certainly is more important things than Brexit at the moment, unfortunately not for Boris's backers who need us out pronto by Jan 1st before that nasty tax avoidance legislation from the EU kicks in. So forget about any extension, even though it would be the right thing.

Part of me thinks that this is another Boris U turn thats went wrong, he's pushed the new strain story too hard to try and cover up for his monumental xxxx up with xmas and the europeans have panicked (and who can blame them?) into closing the borders. Perhaps even macron and co thought this might be a good chance to kill 2 birds with one stone and let the UK populace get a taste of what no deal would be like. Who knows ? We do know for certain both he and Merkel have had it with bojo, he's fucked them about too many times.

There has been new strains of COVID kicking about since the autumn. France,germany and the netherlands all have it, but it's one thing to have a hundred cases that might double in a fortnight, another to be letting it in by the ferryload when we aren't sure what it's going to do.
