Healthy Isolation

Unelected bureaucrats at the World Health Organisation have been caught disparaging the profit motive, bringing market forces into disrepute, and attempting to disrupt the stated priorities of Her Majesty's Government. A foreigner with a funny name has accused entrepreneurs of worsening the coronavirus threat by their buccaneering efforts, and has even implied that governments should intervene to protect, of all things, health workers. Such outdated and inefficient measures may be good enough for the Heathen Chinee, the perfidious French and other lesser breeds; but they will scarcely suffice for the Recrudescent Imperium of Westminster, the Falkland Islands and Possibly Gibraltar, where the national religion has long since anathematised the idea that governments should take some sort of interest in the health of their citizens. Pluck, gumption, enterprise and tax cuts will undoubtedly defend us from the plague; at least until the day Her Majesty's Government is satisfied that the plague has the potential to kill people who really matter.
