The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent virus threat and have therefore raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved”.
Soon though, that level may be elevated to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”
The English haven’t been “a Bit Cross” since the Blitz of 1940, when tea supplies almost ran out.
The virus itself has been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance”. The last time the British issued a Bloody Nuisance warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s Get the Bastard.” They don’t have any other level. Which is why they have been used in the front lines of the British Army for over 300 years,
(By John Cleese, who does not like Donald Trump, by the way, but on style-points, the same way GK Chesterton would likely have felt, for he is also a despiser of corrupt socialist government. He likes his own the way it has been the past 300 years, merely corruptible, just as Americans like ours.)
