Taking sides

It's been a week of growing splits in the UK's commentariat. At the Mail, GMTV and on Twitter, we have Chief Scientific Advisor Piers Morgan, laying into what he believes is inaction on the part of the Government. Piers has also been advising Trump, so we'll see how that goes.

Over at The Sun and TalkRadio, Kiwi renaissance man, the stolid and unexcitable Dan Wootton, is right behind Boris and his chosen scientists. At Newsnight, new boy Lewis Goodall produced a querulous graphic, with crosses marking the 'preventative' actions of governments around the world, and a blank row across the top for the UK. 

Sadly, it's probably not a good time to organise a March on 10 Downing Street with banners saying "We want to be locked up; when do we want it ? Now !".
