One of the unwritten rules of bartending is that it’s generally considered good practice not to discuss particularly divisive topics with your guests, like religion or politics. I think it’s a convention that’s intended to reduce the potential for disagreement in a place where alcohol can affect how people react to being disagreed with, and there’s a sense that the barkeep’s role within society isn’t to judge their guests even if they disagree with them.

But we’re all in lockdown, so I don’t feel any reason not to tell the Prime Minister of Great Britain and his chief adviser to fuck off.
