A cavalier Tory leader and a botched pandemic response? It must be 1957 Then, as now, a government responsible for a disaster tried to change the narrative. We shouldn’t let history repeat itself https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/01/cavalier-tory-leader-botched-pandemic-response-1957 |
