January 15

 January 15

The fog that’s lingered for a few days matches that of the pandemic which has caused doubt and concern for so long.

But at last there are signs that it may be lifting. The decision by cautious first minister Drakeford to relax restrictions is the most encouraging sign. 

Rugby enthusiasts are relieved that the Six Nations championship should now go ahead with full crowds at the Principlality stadium. Even more relieved are the city centre hotels and pubs who can at last look forward to a bonanza week-end,

Another less commented on result of the potential loosening of the pandemic’s grip is the possibility that the under siege prime minister may have gambled correctly by going for a more relaxed approach than the other UK countries, speak  with the hospitality industry. 

That has been lost by his pathetic, cowardly response to the barrage of allegations and public outrage over lockdown partying in the early days of national lockdown.

It looks as though he is surviving, just, but for how long? 

If he can hang in for a few weeks will the public, relieved that the pandemic fog may be lifting, give him a reprieve?

There is an interesting time ahead.
