Its a strange situation : thousands of people pulling together in communities...doing very Unselfish things to help get us through....and on the other hand thousands of others being very Selfish...I have a hunch that it will polarise toward the former as the severity of the situation finally hits home.
I think the reason for the selfishness is because many people have had a steady, relatively easy existence for most of their lives and can't accept a fall from it for even a short period....others just dont trust or recognise authority.
During Ww2 there was the Spirit of the Nation...but also some degree of subversive behaviour in many places. Spivs , treachery etc.
Several old phrases can be applied ...'nowt as queer as folk'.....' it takes all sorts' ....' love thy neighbour as thyself' ..'.life's trials will test us, shape us '....
' we will overcome'...take that one to bed tonight!
