Little Emperors With No Clothes

When I wrote, in the early days of the Chinese virus, that “the real sheeple are the panic-stricken lemmings of the elite”, I argued that the common folk were keeping calm and carrying on, while the elite were losing their minds. I naturally felt a bit foolish when, just days
