Within minutes his first few words are a lie with no basis in fact. He stated that the vast majority of the country was returning to work, when asked what evidence they had none was forthcoming. This government gets more like a Trump surrogate, they lie, avoid scrutiny and place their friends in places of power even if they are completely unsuitable for the post.
The man is a total idiot. His own government's measures for social distancing already prevent a mass return to work. We usually have 9 in our office. The social distancing measures in place only allow 3 at any one time. We've all been advised to keep working from home.
I'm afraid the service industry game is up. Why spend excess time and money going to somewhere you don't need to be when you can just log in from home and be just as efficient? The economy will need to adapt to this shift in working. Industries come and go. Overpriced city centre sandwich shops and office lets are not exempt. Nobody gave a toss about the demise of heavy industry. Why should we give a toss about Pret a Manger?
Have you noticed the people championing a return to the office? They all fall into the category of preaching the values of office work from villas in Marbella or superyachts in Sardinia. Screw 'em!
