Hysteria

Oh dear. The contrarian chorus is finding its voice again. Will they get a role on this week's Question Time ? 

This past weekend Peter Hitchens and John Humphrys took anti-establishment lines of varying strengths in the Mail.

Mr Hitchens: "There’s powerful evidence this Great Panic is foolish, yet our freedom is still broken and our economy crippled".

Mr Humphrys:  "My concern is that during the emergency the authorities and police risk being seen as too dictatorial. Must we really treat dog walkers as enemies of the state?  And after the crisis has peaked, we will see an austerity the like of which we have not experienced for generations". 

Today's Sun features a column by Trevor Kavanagh, with a headline much stronger than the piece itself - "Hysteria has forced the UK into lockdown, crashed the economy and will kill more than coronavirus".

Two questions: are they having long lunches on Zoom ?  And will BBC Chief Adviser, Politics, Ric [sic] Bailey rule on how many appearances they can have ?
