Leaving us something to paste onto our walls in future.

Good green news! Around 31% of our electricity is coming from wind generation. https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ Yet we still have almost a gigawatt coming from coal.

I regularly have to check links - and one of them, just the other day, did say that some vaccines he had tested with a scanner device proved to have trackers in them. It would be amazing if the technology had got to that point. But it certainly hasn't. Of course, the link was unacceptable.

I see Raab Macaroni Bin Denier is getting a lot of flak this morning. Couldn't happen to a ...

Except when it is third person plural present of flipper in French. :)

I have said before that using two (or more!) different vaccines makes sense to my little brain. Was glad to have had two AstraZeneca followed by Pfizer. (Though maybe one of the two headlined would have been even better?) Certainly questions the wisdom of having a third dose of the same as the...

I wish no-one (other than Downing Street) cut off at all, let alone as long as some affected by Arwen. If you live in an isolated farmhouse on a hillside, with miles of catenary electricity wire, I guess it is up to you to prepare by getting a gennie, etc. But when "ordinary" areas get...

Interesting observation: People in counties that voted Trump more likely to die from Covid – study Areas that voted for Trump by at least 60% in November 2020 had 2.7 times the death rate than counties that voted heavily for Biden...

Got up to a horrible day. And it gets worse, continuing bad until tomorrow night. Definitely feels worse than did Arwen, for us. They are in the process of replacing the moderately high voltage electricity supply to our area. Have installed new cables and soon to install new transformer. But it...

And this:

I prefer to defer to Adam Wagner's assessment: Adam Wagner, a top barrister who has analysed Covid rules, said organisers of such a bash could have faced a £10,000 fine under laws that were in force at the time https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/holding-no10-christmas-parties-could-25587375...

I know they are not being sentenced. It was simply to illustrate that our systems do, at times, hold those who hold certain offices to a higher standard, as evidenced by higher sentences for police who are sentenced. Two otherwise very similar cases would probably see a police officer given a...

I don't think this is an issue he wants to be attacked on. Many had hard times last Christmas, and the contrast between their experiences and those attending "parties" is stark.

Johnson now also telling Raab to draw up plans to deny courts right to adjudicate over government. - Don't like the ruling? Tear it up. That will not go down well with a lot of people. One here for sure. I'd want courts to maintain their role regardless the hue of the government, whether I...

Just because it happened a year ago doesn't mean it should be left alone. There have been many bodies found at least that long after their demise - but someone might well be prosecuted for murder. Indeed, if it was not known until now, no-one, Angela, Kier or any other person, could have...

This was then: New vaccines centre to protect UK from pandemic threats ResearchHealthScience Published 3 Dec 2018 The UK’s first dedicated Vaccines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (VMIC), announced by Business...

I didn't do that. And it is like the widely held view that, for example, police need to avoid criminality and, if they do get sentenced for something, that sentence should take into account their position.

Which ends up depending on whether you accept any particular reason as being "good". I say, there could well be circumstances which justify doing that. But there are many where it is between questionable and utterly indefensible.

If only we could vote much more frequently. I'd be happy to bring up all my concerns, criticisms, wishes, etc., with anyone standing. But a vote once every five years, with little chance of exerting influence between elections, is lamentably awful. That is one reason we end up discussing...
