Scotch Egg

It’s 2040 and a late-night news show is running a retrospective on the government’s handling of the Covid-19 Pandemic. In the studio with sharp-tongued presenter, Judith Harper-Jones, is ex-PM Lord Johnson. As the peer struggles to explain the inexplicable, a series of characters take the audience through the comic and the tragic aspects of the crisis. What is the proper relationship between state and individual? What makes a life worth living? And does a scotch egg really constitute a substantial meal?
