If they were rules we wanted them to enforce, and they were soft on them, the DT would be shouting about that.

All ready for their new driveway. :) Which will be sovereign and not connected to all the other roads in the area.

Speaking of lies... The UK rejected an offer of visa-free tours by musicians to EU countries, despite blaming Brussels for what the industry is calling the devastating blow of them requiring permits. A “standard” proposal to exempt performers from the huge cost and bureaucracy for 90 days was...

I can't be bothered to read any tripe under that headline. But my continued belief that leaving the EU was a mistake, and was pushed through using all sorts of techniques some of which included outright lies and manipulation, doesn't imply I am going to kill a cow, put some of it on my head and...

Majority think Boris Johnson should resign as prime minister – poll Opinium survey finds 43% think PM needs to go, but only 20% say Keir Starmer should step down https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/09/most-think-boris-johnson-should-resign-poll

I am glad I never joined up on Twitter. (Though I am aware of some uses it has.) 'Hang Mike Pence' trends on Twitter after platform suspends Trump for risk of 'incitement of violence' The tweets appeared to circulate a video of Capitol protestors chanting the phrase

Speaking of Gove (if we have to): Mr Gove warned that “the real challenge and potential for significant disruption” will start on Monday, when traffic flows are expected to begin returning to normal levels, with 40,000 trucks heading for France each week. ??? If there is significant disruption...

I can see it now! Brexiteers demanding Sovereign vaccine. :) Soberana (Sovereign) 2 will be tested in Phase III trials in around 150,000 people in Havana after it has completed Phase II trials which started on 22 December, officials have confirmed. Cuba’s Finlay Vaccine Institute said late on...

Whereas we have actually seen stories of people refusing the Pfizer/BioNTech because the want the English [yes - literally - despite the finishing being done in Wales] one. Whichever they had, probably a good idea not to publicise it.

Exactly the question that ran through my head. It wasn't 100% clear when they were vaccinated but, if this week, I put my half-crown on Oxford-AstraZenica British vaccine. But it could just be that it was announced now when no-one will actually know for sure - but was done a little while ago...

No longer business secretary: On 8 January 2021 Sharma became president of COP26 on a full-time basis, and chair of the Climate Action Implementation Committee.[28] He moved to the Cabinet Office and retained his status as a full member of the cabinet.

So very easy to do - especially when you are seriously angry - as I assume she is. (You have even conformed to the rule that if you criticise someone's typing/grammar, inevitably you make a worse mistake in your own language. :) )

But it is very difficult to separate out the differences like housing density, and who knows what other factors. We have had around 1,978 per 100,000 from the start of gathering the numbers. Merthyr has almost hit 10,000. Same laws. Same official approach. (Except a relatively short period when...

What an amazingly awful name for the organisation. The e-mail sent to the GP surgery in Worthing said The Hacking Trust was aware that "many appointments" for vaccinations are not kept, and that it would be interested in being informed of "any no-shows". A donation of £5,000 would be paid to a...

Especially matt black. We have two cars - white and bright red. Chosen at least partly for visibility. Most other colour options at the time were in the dark grey areas which are also pretty bad.

Had a look down the other tweets and quite liked this one:

It appears obvious that Biden will have the smallest inauguration crowd in a very long time. Security concerns alone would dictate that. Anyone think he will claim that there were more than Trump had for the next four years? Claim that it was the camera angles. Photoshop pictures to prove it...

No surprise (yet again). Hard to see how Pence can perform any of his role of being reserve president if he doesn't know what is happening.

DPD have joined DHL in suspending some of their cross-border deliveries. DPD will not deliver UK parcels to EU. DHL are not delivering by road to the UK. Not sure what else... Adding: Firms halt deliveries from UK to EU over Brexit border problems DPD pauses road service and retailers...

Apple and Google have suspended the Parler app. (Though still accessible by browser.) Interesting how this plays out.
