DURING Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s update to the UK on Thursday, I was very alarmed to hear him utter the words “We can have a normal Christmas”.
To say this is a huge mistake, as was the bribe “eat out to help out” and urging workers to get back to the office.

All these careless words mislead people into thinking the pandemic is nearly over and to relax their guard. Careless words cost lives.

When Biden enters the White House, this is looking more likely as he has gained Michigan as I type. Reported in the German Der Spiegel. Where does Johnson go from here?
Sook up to the EU? Rush to the US and seek an audience with the Democrats. and bend the knee? Resign?

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
