Just heard an interesting theory on the wireless. Is the Spanish quarantine saga a Cummings warning shot at Spain. Don’t put Gibraltar on the trade negotiations table etc.
This theory has credibility. It’s in the Cummings style, it has a Johnny Foreigner flavour to it and it kind of shifts blame from the U.K. government to Spain’s. It’s Spain’s fault you can’t go on holiday. But the reality is that their overall infection and death rate is better than ours.
This theory makes more sense than our own government’s explanation.

About a year before , I myself retired, I organised the retirement for a colleague , who had been in Engineering all his life..sometimes in the UK and latterly in Ireland. During our discussion he ,made the comment that he was the first member of his family to SURVIVE to 65.
My first job working Sat part time as student at Sainsburys gave me an introduction to working life and all that entailed. Saw the send off a butchery dept worker who was retiring after 50 odd years. During his presentation the story was told how he wasn't allowed the day off to get married and so had to do it during his lunch time. He died only a few months after leaving.
Ah, the good old days when you could leave your back door unlocked, people respected policemen and there wasn’t as much traffic on the roads.
Indeed, only a small fraction of the traffic but which killed over three times as many people as today.

I wonder with the cycle voucher scheme if there was a cock up made and it should have been instead £50 Greggs vouchers
Johnson says he's 'made of Greggs' but doesn't know how much a sausage roll is
The Tory leader boasted that he is 'made out of Greggs' during a telephone interview ahead of the general election

Looks like Cummings has competition with Carrie in influence Boris with his new healthy policies
How did Carrie shrink Bojo the bear?
Boris and Carrie met in 2012 when she worked on his campaign to be re-elected Mayor of London. Later their paths crossed again, when she worked for Sajid Javid and Michael Gove.
Yes, but the cars were for proper men, no power steering, steel dashboards with sharp edges, non of this Euro NCAP stuff, that’s all for puffters.
The worrying thing is that there is still a significant risk he won't lose.
It's very difficult to get the real story because most new channels, most press and most social media are anti-Trump.
Basically, nobody calls for anything unless they think they can get an advantage from it, so where is the advantage for the dems? The very article that you published confirms my suspicions of foul play. As I said, they're simply preparing the way. Why else would they publish a story like that?
Yes indeed, plus three quarter inch diameter front side lights, a single one inch diameter glimmer of a rear light in the middle of the boot lid, no stop lights or reflectors, vacuum operated wipers that didn't wipe when you put your foot down, direction indicator arms that stuck firmly in the B pillar and rarely lit anyway.
We didn't just have no sophistication, we didn't even know what it meant!

Let us not forget...

... as if we would.
In the Telegraph this morning, the isolation period was re-imposed after ten people were identified as having returned to the UK from Spain with symptoms and subsequently tested positive.
This was much higher than expected, and they were from the first wave of returning tourists, the fear was it would be just the tip of the iceberg. Many more would not yet showing symptoms or would be asymptomatic.
The Government has concluded that infection levels in Spain were higher than were being officially reported. That is now being confirmed by other data.
Other countries are under investigation, France, Germany, Croatia have been mentioned
Well speaking from my corner of France ...Village life in Brittany. They were and are taking things very seriously. So I would doubt any under reporting. CV is a big topic on national and local news. The major of Quiberon.. a place I like to visit, but will refrain this year,has closed parks at night and Discos to stop young people gathering. The official line from Local Government is youth irresponsibility . The local billboard has constant reminders of the virus circulating and wear a mask. Compliance is very high. The actual number of infected is reported every day, and while numbers are low the R value is very high 1.8 and reported
And now we have exported it from Manchester to Berlin.
That is going down well... The entire family is infected.
Well guys, we no longer have to worry about grammar anymore because it's racist. Apparently, certain minorities never had the advantage of education. Rather than waste resources bringing them up to a suitable standard, it's been decided to lower the standard at this University that teaches English language. That should improve their pass rate.

This may well be true, but even if it's not, it's useful for Boris to deflect what his government have be doing over the last few months and blame Johnny Foreigner instead.
Where they are (New Jersey), they don't speak proper English to start with.Well guys, we no longer have to worry about grammar anymore because it's racist.

Surely you mean 'they don't speak English proper'?
