the contact that i was discussing in my book, british attitudes towards how do you suppress a rewell onand how do you deal with the captives is actually scotland and the jacobite rebellions in 1715 to 1745. they will do that. they will capture, many of the officer corps will be tried for treason and executed as a symbolic gesture. but they also drive the ordinary common highland scots out of their homes. many are sold into indentured servitude. they are using extreme violence to crush the rebellion. it is my understanding the british were doing the same thing in ireland, particularly in 17 8 with a major rising in ireland then because it -- rebellions pose an exist tension threat to the state. they call the legitimacy of the state into question. you cannot negotiate with rebels without undermining the very foundation of government. in britain, the foundation of government is not the god to the king. it is a parliamentary monarchy. any challenge to parliament is an exist tension challenge. additionally n highland, the fact these are gaelic speaking primary, many catholics are going to make

onand your work with nervtag the pandemic. when was the new variant first detected? >> it became an issue identified by public health, as i understand, december 8. they tried to understand the rates of increase in case numbers in kent and they identified this cluster of this virus variant. when they looked back through the very earliest sample with this virus i think was the 21st of september. >> right. some people have said in criticizing nervtag and the government's response that this new virus was "spotted in september." is that an unfair representation of what has happened? >> well, it would have been present in september. there are thousands of variants, so to know which particular one is the problem requires epidemiological data. , three,ere two sometimes four week delay between someone being swabbed and a sequence becoming available? the first sequence available was in late september, the first identified cases of this virus is from late september, that sequence was not available, i don't know the precise date, but not available until three weeks later. it tak

widespread agreement that the program does not work very well a that's why congress in the great recessi onand pandemic recession passes unemployment benefit programs, i don't see why an additional program withan different trigges would lead to a better result. i think what we need is for congress to size up the situation d pass u something reasonable, to its credit congress did a great job in march and when coness passed in march was an approiately sized package, the compromise is being discussed right now and capitol hill and the outlines which have been clear for months will also be a well-designed package. i don't think we need to remove the legislative function of congress and put it on autopilot in this particular case very briefly, i thinkhe rate trigger a lot of these programs the vaccine is in a wide distribution and when you want to returnan the economy to a situation where businesse sink or swim on their own and where households have to rely on earned income as they would in a normalituation. we will not switch to that point immediately once the vaccine is out but they are relativel
