There’s nothing more worrying than being told not to worry, when there are clearly things to worry about. Such as the super-spreading event formerly known as Christmas. Don’t fret, it’s still on! Or, technically, it’s still on because to cancel Christmas would be “inhuman”, according to the prime minister, Boris Johnson. With the small caveat that, if we can, we really shouldn’t choose to celebrate it in the old-fashioned, in-person way. Not that he wants to spoil our collective enjoyment or anything, but the fewer of us that spend time with family, the less likely we are to cause thousands of people to die. But hey, who is the prime minister to tell us what to do?
