We may have thought the financial ruin was easy to see but quite a few either didn’t see it or didn’t care. There was never a discussion of tradeoffs or weighing of the repercussions and downstream impact of such decisions. It was immediate shutdowns and if you are opposed then you want to kill old people.

Oh yeah, I was labelled an inconsiderate murderer many times...by my own sister. She's since publicly declared she was going through a hard time mentally, pre-natal and all that. I think a lot of people were, still are - suicides rose during that period, still are I believe.

You're absolutely right, it was easy for me to forsee what would happen and I called it publicly at the first lockdown...but a whole lot of people did not / would not see it because the weather was nice and they got to have a "free" holiday in the garden drinking booze and making BBQs. If only they knew they would be paying it all back for the rest of their lives.

I mean who can't see the issues with printing 450billion pounds to cover the cost, devaluing our currency, would create.

People are still in denial now as they look everywhere other than that period for excuses as to why inflation in the UK is sky high 🤦‍♂️
