    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I find it unsatisfactory that we will be offered a booster sometime soon-ish. But I sincerely doubt we will have anywhere to explain why we might refuse it. I'm not an anti-vaccine person. But who will discuss, properly, with me the advisability or otherwise of the specific vaccine offered...

    I disagree. It wasn't just that the parties happened. It was all the consequences.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Some of them came across just how I expected from having seen quite a bit of their arguments - posts, etc. There were some perfectly reasonable discussions.

    I've been aware of that possibility for some time. When I felt it on my scalp, above my left ear, I was concerned. But it never really developed like it did lower down.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have become more and more convinced that my shingles, hence my postherpetic neuralgia, were due to Pfizer vaccine. Partner thought that from the start. Mine was a particularly serious, heavy case. Not as widespread as some, but in all my searches, I have not seen worse blistering anywhere...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Had a listen - which was quite interesting. Am still amazed at the consistency of the pricing we saw yesterday. I'd known that no-one wanted to break £2 for diesel which was a very obvious issue. I find the price matching a very mixed blessing. Tesco here and Milford Haven are always more...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yesterday went for a longer trip than usual and kept our eyes open for petrol prices. Simply maintaining awareness further afield than our usual forecourts. Astonished to see petrol at 179.9 at every single forecourt. Bar one - at 189.9. This included some which we have come to regard as ones...

    Since his public discussion about Ramsay Hunt syndrome, I was actually quite impressed by him. (Before that, he was just a name that I ignored in the media.) I feel lucky my shingles mostly stopped just below my ear (though there was an area of scalp above my ear that was affected). If it were...

    He appears to entirely miss large chunks or what could be called reality: High border costs are assumed for the processing of customs declarations, rules of origin certificates, and goods inspections. This reflects a lack of understanding of how modern computerised, pre-declared border...

    Certainly hope it does happen (and on good evidence so that it is pretty much incontrovertible). And that he stands for re-election and fails by a large, nay huge, margin. Icing would be his standing but being rejected by the tories so being some sort of tory independent. And, of course...

    I did wonder earlier what I'd see if I followed a link to Truss and her pussy bow.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sunak appears in at least some photographs to wear jackets with too-short sleeves - redolent of Alexei Sayle. Truss appears in at least some photographs to wear jackets with slightly too-long sleeves. Both against the common gender tendencies for men to wear longer sleeves and women to wear...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I still hold to my view that the best outcome would be for the tories to actually break apart into (at least) two parties. Chances of it happening? Close to nil. If you could measure disagreement on a twelve-inch/30 cm. ruler, I suspect the distance between the extremes within the tories...
