Last week, Johnson had to deny reports that he would have said last year that he would rather accept that “the corpses pile up by the thousands” than introduce another lockdown. He was also accused of stopping internal investigations for the sake of his fiancée and of using shady channels to finance the luxurious renovation work carried out in his official apartment. According to Downing Street, all of these allegations are lies.
In Great Britain, the corona situation has now eased significantly thanks to a long, consistent lockdown and the well-advanced vaccination campaign. More than half of the population has already been vaccinated once, a quarter even completely. In England and Wales, pubs and restaurants can once again receive guests outside, and in Scotland even inside until the evening.
Johnson went on to say in the post that the country is moving cautiously but irreversibly forward. “We will use our Brexit freedoms to accelerate this recovery, with the flexibility that has already allowed us to carry out the rapid introduction of vaccines (…).” Johnson also extolled his government’s fight against crime, especially drug gangs.
The theft of pets became a further topic in the pandemic: “At the moment, this crime is far too often dismissed as relatively trivial – on a par with shoplifting, for example. I can’t agree with that, ”wrote Johnson. As a result, an animal theft task force has been set up to ensure that the criminal justice system deals properly with anyone who is malicious enough to steal a dog.
