    https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/keir-starmer-labour-economy-covid-boris-johnson-b1803655.html Poor old Kier. An awful lot of words but saying nothing. He doesn't want to return to business as usual after Covid. Hardly an election winning policy, or even a policy at all.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, possibly. I, d hope tho the ones likely to die of it in Police force are picked up through their risk group. (ie age or underlying health issues) Being in an occupation likely to be at risk of infection (ie Police/teachers etc) does not prevent you from vaccination. Its for perfectly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

The ones vaccinated in groups I mentioned are to use up the vaccines from no shows from the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The report from Romesh is great. He is a very talented bloke, his programmes are fantastic. Seems to have a natural affinity with people. One of his comments on his trip to Zimbabwe was especially relevant. (his partner for show, a black lady was discussing (arguing) with a white park guide over...
