"Boris Johnson? Who is he?" asked Lucy.Were he around today, I have no doubt that C.S. Lewis, one of the 20th Century's greatest intellects, would be utterly scathing of what the British Government has done to this country over the past 7 months, given that it has been the very epitome of the scientific and technocratic oligarchy he warned us about decades ago. And so I feel somewhat at liberty to take his comment about the White Witch turning Narnia into perpetual winter without joy and without Christmas, and apply it to our own situation in the land of Covidia (which is where you now live) - a place of perpetual fear and misery, where ordinary life is impossible, and where any hints of joy breaking out must be nipped in the bud before they are allowed to grow to challenge the new winter normal that is settling fast around us.
"Why, it is he that has got all Covidia under his thumb," said Mr Tumnus. "It's he that makes it always Covid. Always Covid and never Christmas; think of that!"

Biden briefly faced reporters after voting in Wilmington, Del. less than 24 hours after Bobulinski, a retired lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, raised concerns in 2017 to the former vice president's brother Jim Biden, about Joe Biden's alleged ties to a possible joint venture with a Chinese energy firm.
Reporters ignored the bombshell allegations, instead asking the Democratic presidential nominee about ongoing looting and unrest in Philadelphia and the Affordable Care Act before he hurried off into a waiting black SUV.
"What we saw there was another failure by the news media to ask Joe Biden about Hunter Biden and whether or not he will admit that he lied to the American people about his son's foreign business dealings," Trump 2020 campaign spokesperson Erin Perrine said on Outnumbered Overtime.
"This is a story the media refuses to cover, even when they have the candidate there, taking questions, which he so rarely does,? Perrine added.
"'Would you answer the question?' They didn't ask that... and that should worry the American people."
There has been a near blackout of coverage of Bobulinski's shocking claims.
Bobulinski's comments to Carlson were completely ignored by CNN and MSNBC through noon ET, roughly 16 hours after the start of the damning interview.
The New York Times and Washington Post didn't cover the allegations in Wednesday's paper, either.
Reporters were also criticized on Monday for their choice of questions when Biden was available. President Trump has repeatedly mocked the media for asking the former vice president what flavor he got during a recent visit to an ice cream parlor instead of asking any questions about the growing Hunter Biden controversy.
Last month, reporters were similarly blasted for questions that they asked at a lengthier press conference, which offered very little grilling of Biden.
"We don't have a general policy around misleading information and misinformation... We rely upon people calling that speech out."See the discussion below...
Comment: More evidence of 'the Trump effect'?
Regardless, it's 'a sign from the heavens' for an incumbent seeking re-election.
If the Plandemic was (at least partly) about trashing the US economy in time for election season, it didn't work.
Even his most ardent foes are having to concede 'defeat':
