Whatever psychological trick the government are pulling it, is certainly working. Ye Gods, what a f*cking mess.
The next psychological trick is actually well in progress at the moment and for the next few days. The Test Match at Edgbaston has a large crowd attending over the whole 5 days, the football at Wembley on Sunday will have 20000 attending, Hampden Park will see a crowd of 12000 on four occasions over the next few weeks.

The next step? Well, BJ is talking about 21 June being the day when 'some normality' is scheduled to return, however, the boffins and quite a few others are saying that it will not be safe and all should be extended. The figures will be manipulated to show that thousands of people have tested positive and that the crowds will not be allowed at the future Euro matches etc., etc. and that we are now in Phase 3 of whatever they are trying to achieve..

Meanwhile ---life goes on -----for some!
