Welcome to Plague Island!


Here we are. Plague Island. That’s the international name for us now, and it’s our name for us, too. We have certainly felt like a Plague Islanders rather than UK citizens for a long time now. It feels like the country is on a kamikaze mission, or a mid-life crisis at least. I suppose, in one way or another, we were Plague Island before Covid-19 made it’s way across the Seven Seas. We are facing numerous other plagues, and have been doing so for a long time: populism; crony capitalism; fallen empire; poisonous nationalism; arrogance from once having an empire; historical amnesia.  

Notes From Plague Island is a collection of articles written about UK politics and culture, and our experiences of being stranded here.

30th December 2021: He definitely, definitely, did not leave Plague Island as we experienced rocketing Omicron infections and ran out of lateral flow tests and PCR test appointments. No Christmas parties for him this year though, as he wasn’t at work over Christmas. Some good news, then.
