Cheers Ross. I’m torn between a sense of obligation to do my duty having been called for Jury Service, and the consequences of putting my safety in the hands of bell-ends. They can’t even get the notification process correct. The letter says I must be at the court at 9:00 am, and gives a number...

I did wonder how long it would take before a government crony got a contract to supply £250 laptops to vulnerable children at £1500 a pop. Not long is the answer.

I don’t know what to think anymore, so I’m giving your post an i.

I think that’s quite possible. I’m sure Coronavirus was around in early January 2020, so it could well have been here late 2019. We had a New Year’s Eve party at our house and eight out of twelve of us were ill. Unusually for me, it wiped me out for a week. My friend had a terrible cough that...

They should be telling us all this. I want to know how they are going to keep me safe from infection and who is the guarantor of my safety. I think that is a reasonable request in these circumstances. You can imagine how far I’ve got with that. I simply do not trust their competence to keep me...

I need to give the whole thing serious thought.

I’m due to be on Jury Service next month. I am extremely anxious about being inside a room for an extended period of time with people I know nothing about. I have not been able to find anything out regarding the Covid safety measures they have in place. Not even if I’ll be able to wear a mask. I...

My friend has just contacted me to say his son has tested positive for Coronavirus for a second time. He had it in October, now he’s got it again. The lad is in his mid 20s and wasn’t too bad first time around. He’s doing ok this time, so far. That’s two people I know personally who have had...

That’s my understanding of what has been said from day 1. That is 90+% don’t get seriously ill after the first vaccination. That figure has been picked up, taken to mean 90+% protection, and run with. It’s not 90% protection, it never was 90%, it’s always been 40 - 50 % protection after the...

If someone refuses to wear a face mask or insists that Covid-19 is a hoax, there’s not a lot I can do, or want to do about it. If they catch Coronavirus and perish, it’s TSB.

What’s not enough?

We agree on mass vaccination centres, it’s crazy. Who thought it was a good idea to get millions of people to converge on indoor spaces at the peak of a highly infectious global pandemic? I want to say it’s unbelievable, but sadly it isn’t any more. I would go for multiple drive through centres...

Huge investment in vaccine development is an international effort. It shouldn’t rely on one country. You can introduce all the mask legislation you like, a significant number of people in this country will refuse to wear them. They claim it’s against their rights, that the gossamer thin tissue...

Since the mid 1980s a shift has been taking place in the U.K. People have been securing top public service jobs based on many factors, non of which are competence and ability. This has crept into every corner of the country including politics. A strange admiration also exists for those who “blag...

I’ll agree that you aren’t an airhead, but you are a knob-head. Stop.

In fairness Danidl, JVT and Whitty are charged with taking care of our medical safety and wellbeing. You can’t disregard everything and you have to listen to someone. These two aren’t politicians, they are both professors of medicine holding the highest medical positions in the U.K. They aren’t...

Knob-head alert. Stop.

I’ve always been approaching this from the point of view that one vaccination gives high 90% protection from hospitalisation and death, not actually getting Covid. I’m not bothered if people get coronavirus as long as they don’t die or go into hospital. This is also the basis of the...

I’ve just listened to a very credible sounding man on BBC Breakfast. I only caught half of the article, but I think he is something to do with an organisation which represents care homes. This chap was saying they are seeing a large number of elderly people who had their first vaccination in...

In a week when over 3000 people have died in a 48 hour period, and many of those deaths being as a direct consequence of government incompetence, The Daily Express use their front page to try and make us angry about the BBC. I don’t think there is a finer example to sum this country up at the...
