Okay… this is getting seriously ridiculous now. It’s time to put a stop to the Wuhan Devil.
From the Daily Telegraph I learned that the Lamb and Flag in Oxford is to close.
That’s just plain WRONG!

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Now I’m cheesed off. After an afternoon punting on the Thames there’s nothing for it but a pint with fish and chips at the Lamb and Flag.
Here at the manor in Kent my friends are restlessly pacing the Great Hall whilst muttering darkly about thrashing the peasants to ease their own dismay- the likes of which I’ve never seen. The Colonel sets down his glass, stands up, hooks his thumbs in his waistcoat pockets and exclaims, “Closing the Lamb and Flag is a plot perpetrated by pernicious EuroWeenies and will not be borne. We shall Beat to Quarters! England expects that every man will do his duty.”
The Lord of the Manor nods at Jeeves, who quickly restores the gin bottles to the pantry. The plan of the day is diverted to fox hunting followed by pints. The dark mutterings subside. Groomsmen stream into the Great Hall bearing tweed jackets, Wellington boots and the Lord’s family heirloom, the Sword of Ethandune. Whilst the hounds and horses are assembling on the lawn a gentleman at the pianoforte bangs out Rule Britannia.
Jeeves reenters the Great Hall and observes the commotion. “Right then, are we questing after the Holy Grail or spending the afternoon cleaving heathen skulls in the forest?”
“Fox hunting, Jeeves, followed by pints at the Bird and Baby,” replied the Lord of the Manor. “A pint a day, if well aimed, will keep the doctor away.”
Why don’t the locals do something about this? If they won’t, maybe they deserve to lose it.
Have they checked if the ravens are still at the Tower?
To Anita M: given the location in centre of Oxford its got to be worth at least a couple of million – so a bit of a stretch for the locals who haven’t been allowed in for months. UK Charity Commission regulations do not allow the owner, St John’s College, to subsidise a loss making business – hence the closure. Hopefully a commercial buyer will be found who can keep it going

It is about destroying businesses, not about health.
That has to first be acknowledged.
Mariana2: Good question. At least the shelves at Sainsbury’s are well-stocked with bully beef, salad leaves and boiled puddings, wot?
