The exercise of free-will seems to be the main theme of the quoted article, above. I will exercise my free-will by continuing to isolate as much as possible. Basically, from the government figures, Covid infections continue to head back to the peak of 1 Jan 2021; the number of people admitted to hospital also continues to rise at a worrying rate; deaths also rise dramatically while, at present, being lower than the peak. All figures show an alarming upward trend.
It is not without note that the article was written by conservative MP Graham Brady (chair of the 1922 committee). It was published by the Daily Mail and those of us here, who can no longer get our Bentley or Maybach on Motability, know just how much that paper cares about ethics and truth.
