Now Gibraltar...

Spain and UK reach draft deal on post-Brexit status of Gibraltar
British overseas territory had been left out of deal announced on Christmas Eve

Negotiators from the United Kingdom and Spain have reached a draft deal on the post-Brexit future of Gibraltar.

“Today is a day for hope,” Spain’s foreign minister, Arancha González Laya, said on Thursday. “In the long history of our relations with the UK, related to Gibraltar, today we’re facing an inflexion point.”

As part of the agreement, the British Overseas Territory located on the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula would be able to join European Union programmes and policies such as Schengen, González Laya told reporters.

..yes I fear that consuming oats would have a similar effect on me.

Sovereignty ain't what it used to be, they'll be ceding the Channel Isles to France next

Here's a useful tip if you really must go to a New Year's party but want to respect Social Distancing

"There is nothing more efficacious than Curried Eggs and lashings of baked beans"

If man is still alive​

If woman can survive​

They may thrive ​

I wonder if any research has been carried out on how the virus is affected by Colombian marching powder, maybe Gove knows.

You deserve some form of award. Coming up with a question where the answer is (or could be) "Gove knows!" It is bloody difficult.

Looks like gov has made problems supplying / organising 2nd jab issues into a whole new new policy. Making it up as they go along.

"They said they recognised that rescheduling second appointments was "operationally very difficult" and would "distress patients who were looking forward to being fully immunised".

Covid: 12-week vaccine gap defended by UK medical chiefs

The UK will now leave a 12-week gap between both parts of the Covid vaccination, rather than 21 days.

For a vast number of people, all they have to do is tell the press and broadcasters exactly what people should do. Something like add 9 weeks. Print a calendar to look up new dates.

OK - those in care homes might be less able to find out - but if the care home cares, no problem.
