Guardian has a headline about being weeks away from gaps on shelves due to lack of lorry drivers. Afraid my experience over the last two weeks or so is that we are already seeing gaps. In Tesco a few days ago, a vegtable aisle was almost exactly half empty. That is, they had turned all the...

Although there have been mutterings, any booster campaign has been kept pretty quiet. One issue that was identified early on was that if you use a virus, such as adenovirus, as a sort of carrier, then repeated vaccination might cause problems. Each one raising the lieklihood of the recipeint...

Personal responsibility? Nor does he take responsibility for his personnel. Seems: Hancock has also served on the Standards and Privileges Committee between October 2010 and December 2012. Didn't exactly understand the point of the committee, did he?

Who will launch a new drink? Gina Cola. (She is probably heartily sick of such infantile "jokes".)

6,000 police were drafted in to Cornwall (as well as military and people from the rest of the world). Covid rates have risen very considerably. It is madness not to have prioritised police for vaccination - for the sake of all of us. I know that, by now, rates of vaccination among police might...

The question now, though, is would you kiss Hancock? Thought not, so why photos of Gina doing so? Only a head of marketing at Oliver Bonas ( a lifestyle retailer).

I suspect the biggest single factor among those who have actually used them is a negative result - no obvious reason, from the individual's point of view, to do anything. It is staggering that this is ten tests per person that have been issued before someone noticed the low rate of reporting...

Did you see the test and trace fiasco number 4234? Almost 600 out of 691 tests have been given out but no-one knows what happened to them. Results never registered - if they have even been used. That is, of course, in millions.

And it was permanent. Whereas AN seems to be some sort of break threatening he will be back.

But that wasn't called for by a civil servant or external agency. It was decided by the government - however despicably.

That is pretty much exactly as I have read and thought. A few specific details but the overall story hasn't changed.

Fat chance.

As I read it, £2 a day - on top of using up whatever your call allowance in your contract provides.

Just read this: HS2 has sought support from across government to counter a growing number of protests, as the boss of the high-speed rail project said it was struggling to deal with direct action that had cost it £75m to date. Mark Thurston, the chief executive of HS2, said “violent and...

brexit benefits, part the nine millionth: UK Network Operator EE to Charge Customers for Roaming Within the EU Thursday June 24, 2021 5:14 am PDT by Sami Fathi U.K. mobile operator EE plans to charge customers almost $3 (£2) a day to use data roaming within the EU, a result of the United...

I thought we had denied that shots had been fired?

I read that as terrificator - which takes you to this bizarre site: http://www.terrificator.com/

16,135 - as I read it. But all due to surge testing in Scotland. That's all right then...

Eton must be proud.

So, as written it refers to an annual Independence Day on 24th June (he actually typed 24 June but I like the British tradition of adding the "th"). Better get their skates on as tomorrow has not yet been declared such and if they miss the 2022 one, 2023 would be the inaugural one rather than...
