Possible full quote?
"Of course I'd rather not have another lockdown and we all want to get the economy up and running again, but we just can't let the bodies pile high in their thousands."
Enough there for someone to be selective and make mischief. Not saying that's what happened, but it'd be good to know what other words surrounded those eight that The Mail picked on and flashed across the world as headlines..
I think it’s been reported that the full quote was , in fact, “No more ****ing lockdowns- let the bodies pile high in their thousands”
Pretty unambiguous I’d say.
