No Science in Magna Carta

Mere experts are taking a predictably unconstructive attitude towards the approaching restoration of England's traditional freedoms. Grumblers and pessimists have pointed out that the mainland's position as a travel hub will result in the rapid spread of new strains of Covid, yet instead of embracing and boosting the glory of British globality they whinge and whine about the likely casualties among scroungers, piccaninnies and even the beastly Euro-wogs. New infections on the mainland are at their highest for six months; hospital admissions are doubling every three weeks; and there is every possibility that the hated National Health Service will shortly be overwhelmed to an extent that may not be significantly mitigated even by applause and the pay cut. Yet still there are those so possessed by the spirit of scientistic perverseness as to regard the demise of expendables and the approach of V-NHS Day as somehow to be avoided.
