984: London threatens severe lockdowns, with police powers. @josephsternberg, @WSJOpinion
Image: London Town nursery rhyme Joseph Sternberg: @josephsternberg, @WSJOpinion; Political Economics column; WSJ editorial board; in re: Public is weary of virus restrictions. Government told you how many miles you may travel for exercise; then gave up and issued “guidance.” Police are thrown off base, not sure what to enforce. Boris is in serious political danger: assured everyone that if the NHS were protected till the vaccine arrived all would be well. It's not turning out that way. First February, then March, then April; then “early fall.” Britain as been a success story in the vaccine; but BoJo and his government keep tripping over their feet.
