It was that the wording said they were to be used as booster shots. Not first and second combos. Not even as second shots. My interpretation is that they intend all AZ recipients to receive a single additional Pfizer dose as a booster. Then... ? Either they know something we don't. Or they are...

There is, though, a fundamental difference. Drones, as described, don't have to deal with the idiots driving round them. Of course, there will have been a few occasions where a manually controlled drone has caused issues. But as a swarm, they are all operating in ways that were in the minds of...

Why have we just ordered 60 million more Pfizer booster doses for use later this year? We have been told that AZ is pretty similarly effective. And that both our doses should be the same vaccine. And there aren't 60 million who won't have already had Pfizer... And, so far, children are not...

In a small town, it is arguable that we should all accept 20 mph (or somewhere around that speed) as the speed limit for everything. Possibly one or two faster routes if through traffic is an essential part of the road network. Definitely different in large towns and the major cities (noting...

I have a feeling this might not play out as intended: Boris Johnson will decide himself if he broke rules over flat refurbishment The Prime Minister's official spokesman confirmed Mr Johnson will remain 'ultimate arbiter' of the ministerial code - even if he's the one under investigation...

One of the most difficult aspects of self-driving is highlighted as a vital element of this approach. That is, for a human driver to be able to take over with very little notice, no matter what else they might have been doing, thinking about or anything else. This requires the...

I think I've posted before that I find voice-activation/recognition systems slightly difficult. Though I can witter on about lots of things for hours with real people, actually using these systems ends up unsatisfactory. Really don't understand why, but a slight tendency to stutter comes to the...

There are many people who do not have smart phones - and for a variety of reasons. Physical issues - they are not easy for blind people to use, for one example. Signal issues - if you don't have a signal where you live, what would be the point? And there are quite a lot of locations round here...

Liz Saville Roberts, the Plaid Cymru leader at Westminster, also reads out the seven Nolan principles of public life. What happens when a PM goes rogue, given that that the PM is the judge of the ministerial code? Johnson says people have a choice. The Labour government in Wales is failing, he...

Have been wondering at what point some variant would eventually get named Covid-21/22 or whatever.

Hooray! Tory sleaze row: Electoral Commission announces investigation into Johnson flat makeover – live

Looking for historical comparisons suitable to use for Johnson, should we substitute Judas for Captain Oates? We have already seen references to St Peter in the number 10 denied three times comments.

Another chapter in the "How to break up a union by ignoring three quarters of the nations and displaying extreme ignorance" saga. NHS app will be used as Covid ‘vaccine passport’ for foreign travel Grant Shapps says work has started on app many people already use to book GP appointments...

I note that Labour has been extremely clear that contact is required between business and Whitehall. But that it has to be open - above board, recorded (as appropriate), and without corruption. Just where does PM failing to follow the rules, the law, fall on Johnson's "essential for...

Do you remember when the New York Post was being held up as one fo the few media that was reporting real stories? (Other media either not posting them at all or mis-reporting.)

Appears possible Johnson could be barred from HoC over failures re register of members interests. (Not clear if he ever did undertake the meeting with the registrar to have the rules drummed into him.) Mustique holiday still hanging over him. Allegra Stratton in firing line...

Pretty damned good timing in the run-up to some elections - such as Senedd, Scottish parliament, local and a collection of other posts. Will the shovels full of ordure have any impact? Andrew RT Thomas seems to have done his very best to put everyone off. Looked/behaved like a toy robot on his...

Now we know who paid for the number 10 (11) refurb. Lord Brownlow of Shurlock Row

So the corruption issues roll on. Newcastle/Jamie Reuben/donor & mate. Still no ethics adviser. Still no ministerial interests document. Won't deny the bodies story. Nazanin still in gaol. FDA gets a judicial review re Priti Patel. They manage to say “at all times [Johnson] has been focused on...
