“Well, Tonto old friend, looks like they’ve got us surrounded.” Tonto replies, “What do you mean ‘we,’ white man?”

Meanwhile, back at brexit, Britain's car industry risks losing out even if there is a post-Brexit trade deal with the EU, according to documents seen by the BBC. Car parts from Japan and Turkey used in the UK will not be treated as British, so some exports may see higher tariffs...

Currently feels that we are getting more and more of a minority... Just six mostly rural counties - Monmouthshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey and Powys - will not be subject to restrictions from Thursday.

Johnson possibly doesn't know, or assumes we don't know, the expression: "To be like a butcher's dog, that is, lie by the beef without touching it; a simile often applicable to married men." All sorts of ways of interpreting that. :)

Where did that come from?

Nominations now open! And what will you call the award? (Shouldn't actually have the effect of memorialising the person. So probably not their names.)

Certainly agree she did "the right thing". But still, I think, contributed to the "I'll interpret as I wish" attitude.

Follow the science? Follow the scientists? Or not? Apartheid? Or not? Asking over-65s to shield is 'age-based apartheid', boss of NHS England says Sir Simon Stevens rejected idea proposed by scientists to contain Covid second wave...

$70,000 Paid to style Trump’s hair for television, claimed as expenses. A fool and his money are easily parted. Or dyed, bouffanted (is that a word?), combed over or whatever else the hairdresser does.

I haven't even travelled to the next county for ages, and not to the next country for over a year:

Will Johnson be relieved that he doesn't seem to be a target? Or hacked off that he is ignored? Reports that Sacha Baron Cohen has filmed and test-screened a sequel to his 2006 comedy hit, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, have gathered pace...

This brexit is obviously not even alpha tested. Can we go back and have a beta-referendum? Then a final-release one? Brexit travel permits designed to avoid 7,000-lorry jams come January depend on software that won't be finished till April Beta means fully operational? Haha! Good one...

I think he has a problem with marital law. :)

Some biological/medical tests are standardised. But the ones I am most often discussing are not. The test manufacturers have made, effectively, no effort to achieve standardisation. We see: Reference intervals that vary from one lab to another; Tests that are prone to interference by known...

When the government claims to follow the science, maybe take this into account: Science Fictions: Exposing Fraud, Bias, Negligence and Hype in Science https://www.waterstones.com/book/science-fictions/stuart-ritchie/9781847925657 I had this pointed out to me by one of the foremost researchers...

Sorry Danidl, but the actual behaviour of the people was surprisingly good. People did stay at home. People did avoid the things they were told to avoid. Sure, not everyone, everywhere, but the general acceptance was pretty good. That the government had said it was OK to go to the races, to...

We, the people, did well at abiding by the rules on lockdown when first introduced. (That Cummings, Jenrick, the Scottish health person, etc., seemed not to abide properly undermined the widespread support/"obedience".) Everything that went before, and much that has happened since, is appalling.

Johnson just keeps them coming... Hardline BBC critics reportedly offered top media roles Former Daily Mail editor could head Ofcom, while ex-Daily Telegraph editor considers BBC chairman job But reactions on Saturday evening were not all predictable. Even the iconoclastic Jeremy Clarkson...
