Back on topic, the Brexit negotiations have become like a car journey. Ursula and Boris driving the car and trying to work out a way to the destination and all us kids in the back asking every few minutes: "Are we nearly there yet?" .

This a what I meant about Greenwich getting it right about shutting physical schooling but Johnson stupidly overruling them. It remains to be seen whether he'll back down on the school closures or prefer to kill a few more people. I'm betting the latter. The way things are going it seems...

Only a good analogy for those who want to get it all wrong about London and its surroundings. Have you ever seen a wildfire or burning haystack and learnt how fast they burn? We've been watching our future second Covid one that will eventually threaten us take almost a year to travel 40...

He had to have that rise, we can't have his adviser telling the PM what to say but earning so much less than him, can we? .

No, it came from Boris Johnson, Williamson only repeated it once his boss said it. .

That of course while with some truth is a very long outdated saying, drastically extended by the following: Personal transport. The expansion and success of London's transport system. The expansion of London making it recognised by the EU and the GLC as a super-city of over 13 millions and a...

Thay clearly don't as the Greenwich example shows, treating London as one again. You really don't pay attention. Haven't I just posted that Greenwich being tough is right and Johnson taking a soft line is wrong? Of course intervention is sometimes needed, but the right intervention at the...

I posted the link to the government's statement at the time in May, but as usual you took no notice. However perhaps you'll take more notice of yourself back on June 5th: Wrong, just look at today's news. Greenwich very rightly advised their schools to switch to online only teaching this...

I agree thats there's been a lot of dodgy science in the areas of testing and analysis. But our experiences in our borough and other parts of London thoughout this year have been consistent and supportive of what I've been saying and posting so whether they agree with the science or not...

You just haven't got a clue. Try reading what I posted instead of using your preconceptions and imagining what is logical. Forget your haystacks and tiers, there are no tiers being acted on in London. We are all continuing to use all our areas in exactly the same way and the Metropolitan...

Daily figures for deaths close to ours now, this from total deaths being only one third of ours to date with 20% greater population. So very much hurtling skywards much faster than ours. .

That is emphatically not how it's changed in London. A few areas have always been high, others have risen, others started high but have gone down, none of it related to pubs which are everywhere. In most cases the reasons are blindingly obvious. .

True, but there is no London as being one place where Covid is concerned. The worst London boroughs supplying Heathrow's 76,000 staff are badly hit. My South Londom borough supplying staff and passengers to Gatwick was hit very badly at first but with Gatwick very quickly almost shut down...

Nonsense, the tiers are making no difference, nobody is taking any notice of them and we are still benefitting from our early hit. Where Covid-19 infection and death rates are concerned, there is no such place as London, maps don't suffer from viruses, read this post from above. Some areas of...

No. Quite likely to be in the next couple of days, not that it will make any difference. We are still in a far better position that many other parts of Britain. Government policies on Covid here will only start to make sense when they realise that London isn't a cohesive whole but a number...

That is delusional. The reduction of unemployment was at excessive cost to the economy and particularly the environment. Saudi Arabia has been sorting itself out entirely due to at long last having a modernising leader in Mohammed bin Salman prepared to act against his own backward elements...

Indeed, how stupid and careless of the Royal Navy to get a ship wet. Bound to cause trouble. .

How appropriate all those shots of space shuttles on their way to disaster are. A perfect simile for Trump's worthless presidency. .

We'll see. More likely to end up as Rue Britannia. .

700,001 tonnes? I'm always suspicious of such deliberately obtuse statements. There's also the fact that 80% of our fishing vessels are under 10 metres in length, tiddlers by today's fishing vessel standards as our 12,000 fisherman show, only two per boat. .
