Dear reader, More than three months into the national lockdown, we finally have sight of its end. While the return of the hospitality industry and indoor visits have already been announced, next on the list is overseas holidays. Charles Hymas and Gordon Rayner reveal today the first block of countries on the list for “air bridges”, those that should follow soon after and which nations are a long way from being considered safe to visit. You might expect that among the people most relieved by the easing of restrictions would be those who have, until now, had to shield themselves. For many of those 2.2 million people, however, that isn’t the case. Juliette Wills, who herself is shielding, spoke to three clinically vulnerable individuals to find out whether they feel safe or trust the new advice enough to head outside. Finally, the film Falling Down was controversial even when it first came out in 1993. Today, the story of an angry white man on an armed rampage would probably never be made. However, in his retelling of the film’s production Tom Fordy argues that the crime thriller is, in fact, a perfect portrait of American carnage that resonates deeply with the current political era. It’s a fascinating read. Chris | |
