It's been a truly dystopian year, I realised that the 'novel coronavirus' wasn't going to stay something that only affected foreign people far away. I've had to confront my fears of society collapsing in a way that makes my early 80s fear of nuclear war seem like a fucking picnic. I've toiled away at my remote working table in the front room in callous spring sunshine, summer heat and winter chill. I might never work back at base again before I retire. And yet there are still cunts talking about 'dying with COVID' and pretending it's all a hoax.

Charles in Survivors was accused of finding that life after the plague suited him just fine. And there are many things I've enjoyed about this one. I like my own company and I like not having to go in to work.
