  In that case, I'd assume his preference would have been to do absolutely nothing, and let millions die as a way to reduce the costs of the welfare state. His tendencies and character do a good job of enlightening us as to his lack of principles. If you think that "lockdown" was to appease the left (who tend to be younger and healthier) rather than the core Conservative vote (the overwhelmingly older, less healthy, more-at-risk-from-COVID group), I don't know what to tell you.

      With an 80 seat majority barely four months old (at the time) why exactly do you think Johnson would care about appeasing the opposition?
