    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It does seem utterly nonsensical for us to have their phones, tablets, notebooks, smart bands, smart watches, mini hotspots, routers, memory cards, whatever else, and yet be worried about their network kit. I'd understand far more if everything they do was under suspicion (or proved to be...

    Is "the country" the UK or England? Regardless, I am so glad I do not live in Kent. The UK government is to build “10 to 12” new Brexit border customs and controls sites across the country in a move that Michael Gove has said cements the mission to “take back control” from the EU. In the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Politicians seem to be much happier at passing some new legislation rather than ensuring existing laws are properly enforced. Guess it is much easier to come up with some words and a vote or two rather than manage the reality of law enforcement.

    Is this the right way of tackling the issue? In my view, people who attack 999 emergency workers should be banged to rights. But we end up with a bizarre legal situation in which some people are differently protected to others. Plan to double maximum sentence for attacks on 999 emergency...

    We have Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons, Iceland and M&S. With Asda and Co-op reachable. M&S are definitely still wiping baskets. Don't use Iceland or Co-op.

    Lidl no longer have baskets in the "traditional" sense. They have wheeled baskets with long handles. They are horrible to use - requiring much bending (or just dropping things on top of each other without regard to the damage that causes) and too heavy to carry. I could manage, partner finds it...

    Of course I thought about it. Hence, my added words. The article does itself question the headline claim.

    Not quite true. I carry a sanitiser spray containing (mostly) alcohol - and I regularly spray basket handles - indeed whole baskets. Some shops do spray theirs - but all too many don't. Supermarkets and other food shops should put a lot more effort into keeping baskets and trolleys clean all...

    The NHS is very different to the kitchen sink. You can't just turn it on or off. It takes time and resources. Planning and understanding. That there was such a need to boost the NHS is a fundamental indictment of the government's management of the NHS. Yes, you don't have certainty. But you do...

    Isn't it wonderful how the brexit brigade (or mob, if you prefer) seem to think taking back control is so right for the UK (for which, read "England"), but so wrong for Wales?
