If ever there was proof of the damage done by neoliberalism, this is it! The second wave (which killed 87,000 people in UK) was driven almost entirely by Sunak’s “eat out to help out”, and Johnson’s defying the experts to ‘save Christmas’.
It is extraordinary that you can kill tens of thousands of people with your obsession with the economy, and yet face absolutely no consequences.
Mind you, that’s nothing compared to the death toll that climate inaction will produce.

@KimSJ The thing is they’re not trying to “save Christmas” they’re trying assimilate others shoving Jesus down our throats, although today, their own “savior” if you approve of his words about love, tolerance, etc would not approve of their actions. He’d be asking, “what the hell happened to you people “?

@Huntn00 @KimSJ I think it was "save Christmas" in terms of making sure retailers make high profits, rather than in terms of promoting Christianity.

Yes, and they also didn't want to lose popularity by appearing to be the government that cancelled Christmas.

@CppGuy @bodhipaksa @KimSJ Their message, just remember how great (not) we made it for you! As if they thought eliminating all the competition for low wage jobs would enough to keep the economic slaves in line. 🤔
