27/03/20: Scenes from the daily lockdown walk: Thank you NHS


Totteridge. Very moving to see this. As the lockdown continues it is touching to see the ways local people have reacted. Children have written messages in chalk on the pavements outside the houses of their friends and relatives. They have also painted rainbows and left them in their front windows. And someone had set up their own hand-sanitation station on their garden wall with cleaning chemicals barrels of water for anyone passing.

This kind of disaster seems to bring out the best in people, despite everything. That's not the case for our Great Leader, though. I hate the way he keeps saying "our NHS", given the way the Tories have treated the NHS over successive governments. I am sorry to hear that Boris has the virus, but will he be queuing up for hours in a crowded NHS waiting room for his treatment? I very much doubt it.
