Yesterday (January 5th 2021) the Guardian newspaper printed an editorial suggesting that Boris Johnson relies on PR rather than effective action when it comes to COVID 19. I have quite a bit of sympathy for that view, however, the Guardian then proceeds to undermine its own editorial in a number of ways making biased and muddle headed statements.

On Sunday, Mr Johnson said that schools were safe for children and teachers. By Monday, they were so dangerous, he said, that they must be closed.
