Some alarming financial numbers in the media tonight. One economist reckons each day of lockdown wipes £1.8 Billion off the Economy. And this from Lord Rose, the former Marks & Spencer boss, hardly fills one with confidence.
'My estimate is that for every day it carries on, you can say it is between two and three weeks of recovery time,' he added. 'So, if it goes on for a month, that's possibly a year's recovery time.'
So, where do you draw the line folks, if the latest Lockdown doesn't work, another month, two, three, longer?
And as for fines, what threat are they to 18 year olds with no money, or job, and little prospects? £1K, £10K, £100K, whatever. It won't stop them partying, they have nothing to lose.
