It's just a strong visual representation for the Government to say "look at us, we're fighting this" I bet the second the cameras stop rolling they immediately pack them up into a van and move them onto the next photo opportunity.

To be fair I couldn't hold down ginger ale in normal health! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen a few local firms claiming they do that smoke cleaning for business premises/restaurants etc. Nobody has a clue what is in it or if it works.

ml1dch Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It's quite jarring watching some commentators pivot expertly from "why are we locking everyone up just to save the old people who were going to die anyway" to "beloved Sir Tom, Captain of all our hearts" without missing a beat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
