At a country's darkest hour, a hero will emerge. Then he will die immediately of the novel coronavirus after going on holiday. Then his feckless idiot children will build a "controversial spa" in his name. It's the denouement of the Captain Tom saga. Also, we look into the domestic/UK dimension of Israel's attack on Gaza, and think about how the state and press will gleefully make one another even more dangerously deranged.
