ONE of the strangest things I experienced while on furlough during the pandemic was the odd way that time moved. Lockdown was such a black hole of experience that I honestly can barely remember it, like a blip in time that is now simply … gone.
Thankfully I don’t seem to be the only one having issues with the passage of time, given that the whole United Kingdom seems to be currently about 40 years in the past. Not since Thatcher has Britain been facing such a wave of strike action, along with the threat of rolling power blackouts through winter – and to top it all off, a nice moral panic about the LGBTQ+ community.
