    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Unless you actually hiked there you don't know.. I was astonished to see how tightly the trains were linked to the infrastructure. Much more like the Wild West with massive engines trundling down the main street of villages without any barriers between them and the public. Now since your...

    And you need roads for that class of thing. Switzerland uses both nice big glossy shiny red ones in Zurich and cities , and railway mounted ones in remote areas, and hamlets . Those roads are lovely in Summer as you tootle about in in Morgan or Sunbeam Alpine I used to think using aircraft...

    Until it it is not. How do you get water, high pressure pumps into tunnels , thru mountains quickly?. You cannot fly them, helicopters not great at altitude, you cannot use roads , and they are a bit big for St Bernard Dogs. Oh and ships are next to useless.

    Which is why I have no faith in the UK data. I do trust the Irish data, because it is not time limited ,and when they mention the daily totals they make corrections such as .".. We are removing 6 deaths as due to other causes and adding 8 which were reported late. "

He died on the table ,three weeks ago having the same procedure .. (angioplasty) as I had had 3 months previously . But it could be...

    That is always the case. There is a well known bandwagon effect, which I remember back in the day .. remember Cold Fusion?. Remember Tachyon emission?. But in fairness these Scientific re-evaluations are all part of the truth and reconciliation process.

    Far be it from me to give advice .... But very simply write a letter to the Court acknowledging that you have received a summons, but that unless you are given written assurance that your health needs will be met, you cannot attend . This therefore shows willing on your part. What is probably...

    92 deliveries is trivial. Even better , it means that the journey times for the elderly people getting the vaccine is much shorter. What you see as a negative is actually very positive. A lower density of vulnerable people getting vaccinated all in parallel. If your schools have 50%...

    My point is that local primary schools meet every one of the requirements . Big rooms , small numbers ,good ventilation , movable furniture and very local. You don't need a GP to inject an intramuscular injection. .. the person can easily do it themselves. So District Nurses, St Johns...

    Why on earth are they using Mass vaccination centres?. It beggers belief. My information is that the Pfizer vaccine will remain effective indefinitely at minus 70 and 3 DAYs at minus 3 . The obvious , logical thing is to use the Primary School network and then ship supplies out. It is what...
