3 things I have learned about the #coronavirus crisis. 1. Hospitals are not the frontline in this war. You are. The medics treat the fallen. 2. The virus doesn’t spread. You spread it. 3. There is no medical solution yet (& maybe ever). You are the solution.

Leeds United coach Marcelo Bielsa has won 54 of his 98 matches in charge of @LUFC ; a victory ratio of 55% – the largest of any manager in the club’s history. Leeds’ 16 year exile is the longest any relegated club has endured out of the Premier League. But we’re back!

Great read and the best analysis of the US & Trump. “He has destroyed the country he promised to make great again. He promised to stop ‘American carnage’. But now that the real carnage has arrived, he is revelling in it”. By the terrific ⁦ @fotoole

@markaustintv puts his finger on it. As usual. This is an important ruling. And confirms a critical pillar of freedom of expression in the U.K. (& throughout the West), amid a torrent of attacks on it.

Hardly surprising that the vile @DailyMailUK calls protesters a “rent-a-Leftie mob” that “shames Britain”. It seems to have forgotten free speech, the right to protest & the 77% quoted here. But then the Mail doesn’t value those pillars of democracy. (‘Enemies of the People’ etc)

As @BorisJohnson compares himself to #Roosevelt , he appoints as the UK’s National Security Adviser a negotiator who has yet to make a trade deal, David Frost, formerly Ambassador to Denmark & head of the Scotch Whisky Association. But he’s a trusted Brexiteer. Some Roosevelt.

In 1918 as Spanish Flu swept the world, Philadelphia held a parade to help returning veterans. Hundreds of thousands gathered. Philadelphia’s death rate spiked dramatically afterwards. Fact One might say the U.K. Government is gambling with people’s lives.

The clear implication from what US Special Counsel Robert #Mueller said was; if Donald Trump wasn't the President, we'd have charged him with a crime. It's hard to see any other interpretation of his central argument today; he couldn't do that because it isn't constitutional.

Another example of what many will see as the almost criminal neglect by the U.K. Gov’t in not shutting down this madness. Days ago, almost a quarter of a million racegoers gathered because the Gov’t advise to everyone was “go ahead”. More concerts planned. This will cost lives.
