We are supposed to believe that Les read the headline "State overwhelmed as Covid soars" and his immediate thought was
a) by "state" they meant the UK even though no UK based report would ever use that word in that way on a primary headline like that (UK, Britain, etc)
and
b) AOL are pretending that the UK is overwhelmed by Covid in July 9th as part of a left wing plot to destabilise the government or something.
Just to recap, it's AOL News.
For someone who likes to accuse other people of "wetting themselves" just because they post a link to an opinion poll this is absolutely deranged.
It's wonderful stuff.
