new virus strain in UK

Xmas is cancelled, full-blown panic has set in.
The start and end to every story is the same. But what comes in between you have yourself to blame.

Read in the Guardian this morning that deliveries from the UK to Ireland (RoI) went rather smoothly this morning.

King of England is hard at work against feudalism. It's very hard work. He is only partially succeeding.

Prince William has agreed to end the last feudal restrictions on land ownership in parts of his hereditary Duchy of Cornwall estate after decades of complaints from residents.

The Prince of Wales will allow tenants in two of the most environmentally sensitive areas of his 55,000-hectare (135,000 acres) estate the right to buy the freehold to their homes for the first time.

Residents of central Dartmoor, the national park, which is the duchy’s largest landholding, and the Somerset village of Newton St Loe, near Bath, will be given the new right under the 2024 Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act, when secondary legislation is introduced by the government to bring it into force.

[...]

The Duchy of Cornwall, which stretches across 23 counties, was created in 1337 and the laws governing residents and tenants on its land are complex.

The estate resisted efforts to bring it in line with the rest of Britain under the then Prince Charles, demanding exemptions from earlier leasehold reform legislation for Dartmoor, Newton St Loe and Scilly on the grounds of environmental sensitivities and their historic ties with the crown.
