Couldn’t have put it better myself. Eric Idle has criticised the official Monty Python Twitter feed for tweeting “It’s time to dust off your finest attire now that pubs & restaurants are open from tomorrow.”
Idle’s response was:
Do not listen. This is shit advice. I have nothing to do with this. In the wise words of my wife. “What has changed?” Nothing. There is no cure, there is no vaccine. Go out at your peril. Mingle at your own risk. Just remember “Bring out your dead.”
Unless your pub is called The Grim Reaper, you should stay home. Please be safe.
Completely agree, Eric. It’s too soon.
Note (2023): This was written about four months into the first lockdown, and look what then happened. Idle got it spot on.
