If This Is War .....

[Theland]

If Boris in his best Churchillian way has declared war on the virus, pulling out all the stops, then we need the true community spirit of WW2,
emulate that fantastic generation in any way we can.
So, how about sleeping in underground railway stations, gathering around the piano and singing Knees Up Mother Brown, and forming a Dads Army and revitalise the heroines of Jam And Jerusalem.
Any other suggestions for what measures we can take, gladly appreciated.

Wine and chocolate.

[Canary42]

Yes, bring in Rationing as a matter of urgency

[Apc2604]

Trouble is we would have to avoid mixing with others! Agree with canary - rationing should start straight away. And we could all open our windows and sing Land of hope and glory!

[Spicerack]

Shoot the Anti-British fifth-columnists.
I've got names.

[Theland]

Sounds glorious.
Turning off all the mod cons for a few months.

Dig up the cricket pitches.
(Don't know why it just seems like a good idea.)

That generation has gone. We now have the lefties, and the human rights brigade, followed closely by the diversity lovers. They can’t stand each other, let alone stand together.

[Theland]

But Boris promised to bring this country together :-/

[Theland]
