How quickly we forget (or want to forget) the egregious behaviour of the Government during the latter period of the pandemic. The author studies the machinations of the state from the perspective of an eminent public historian, one who coined the concept of the ‘good chap’ theory of government. You can be quite sure he does not hold back on devastating criticism. His highly engaging account is very often extremely funny, but ultimately profoundly sad.
