  • I generally follow the rule to assume cock-up rather than conspiracy, but some people don't. Step forward Van Morrison:

    What I think is beyond dispute is that pretty much everyone is trying to use the crisis for their own pre-existing objectives under cover of the claim that the crisis really means there can be no more delay, and I also have no problem at all with discussions about whether this or that policy is the right policy, much though I decided early on that I wasn't going to try to become an expert in virology and epidemiology, and I also doubt that it's a viable route for most people.

    Anyway, there's much worse around than Morrison's songs, but I thought it might make a nice thread starter.
