Neil Oliver – “We ought to be looking at the pandemic in the rearview mirror now. It should be behind us. It should be over. We should be in the postmortem phase, asking what happened … how on Earth we allowed governments to ride rough shod over our rights. We should be hearing apologies from our elected representatives. But no. Somehow, Covid still manages to be in our faces – suffocating us bit by bit and all the time. My children are still required to wear masks at school all day every day – rebreathing their own exhaust fumes for hours at a time. In Scotland last week, first minister Nicola Sturgeon said her devolved assembly would spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayers’ pounds cutting the bottoms off classroom doors so as to improve air flow in schools.”
