My imagination is running riot wondering if he could win the 2021 election? Has Johnson yet got rid of the fixed term parliament act?

The government is actually supposed to look after the interests of all of us. Their views as to how they can and should achieve that, obviously, can be at variance to others, such as the the opposition! But the current mob are, as the tories always are, chock full of Etonians, etc.

On the basis that a lot of people have always thought the government's handling in the appalling (thanks Barry) or worse category, just how bad is it that we can see this headline? I suspect a lot of people have been in the position of being sceptical and not entirely convinced but reluctantly...

If 20,000 deaths was the "well done" mark, what (dare I ask) were the satisfactory, poor and appalling marks?

Mount a light on the outside of the bag?

As so many say, ridiculously too late! Two weeks' quarantine if travelling to UK under plans for 'second phase' of coronavirus response Plan would apply to Britons returning and foreigners arriving at airports and ports Passengers arriving at British airports and ports will be placed in...

Mean to add - I think I might go for the bigger size were I to chooce the same basic product - hoping it might be a bit louder.

Interesting development. I wonder what will happen if/when Government faces down doctors and refuses? If ministers fail to reveal 2016 flu study they ‘will face court’ Doctor’s threat over results of three-day simulation exercise that were ‘too terrifying’ to be made public...

I got one of these: Crane Bell Unisex's Mini Suzu with Steel Band Mount Brass Bicycle Bell-Gold, 4.5 cm It's OK - but price has shot up. And anything short of a foghorn isn't going to penetrate noise-cancelling ear things.

A young girl round here is doing a head shave for charity. Leaving aside all the questions about raising money for the NHS, charities, and so on, I am dead impressed that she has really taken on-board the need to think of others. She has long hair and there is no doubt at all she is really...

Have to say, some of the till operators round here are people you actually want to talk with!

Are Chinooks twice as likely to fall out of the sky due to malfunction as, say, a Puma? The Windracer they are reported to be using appears to have two propellors (rather than rotors).

I am convinced that home-made masks are sensible. If you cut down transmission by 10%, it just might make a difference! Imagine you go to a supermarket and are reasonably near the security person at the door, two shelf stackers, six other shoppers, and the till person. You are an undiagnosed...

So we're all stuffed? Or we will be in thyme.

Forget urgently acquiring PPE - start mass production of Darwin awards.

"SAGE" - yet another bit of propaganda itself. Used to imply that the committee is actually sage, and full of sage people. Many years ago, code names were expressly chosen to be neutral. Think of the Armilla patrol, Mulberry, etc. Now they come up with a word that at a headline level of...

It has actually been specifically denied that Johnson is receiving red boxes.

Insect repellant! The British army - at least those on covid-19 duty, will be issued with citriodiol insect repellant. AND disinfectant AND vitamin D supplements! The broadcaster added that personnel will also be given a disinfectant to use on themselves before washing and vitamin D...

Seems to be to make up for lack of ferries. And it will be autonomous! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52419705
