I’d be surprised if there’s any meaningful sort of airshow season in 2021 and I think we should be prepared to accept that the airshow ‘scene’ as we know it will never come back. I think we have seen our last RIAT and aside from shows at Duxford and Shuttleworth, I don’t see many others - big or sm...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Professor Gabriel Scally, a public health expert at Bristol University, today slammed the proposals, warning there was 'no point' in having a very merry Christmas only to 'then bury friends and relations in January and February'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

Things are really looking up this morning. It looks like we’ll be able to meet up with a maximum of three households over Christmas, not the anticipated two.

What’s the betting the downside will be extending (sorry re-branding) the lockdown until 20 December?

Christmas is too entrenched in everyone’s calendars, religious or not, to simply forget about it with little more than a month (!) to go. Speaking to a client recently who owns a restaurant about furlough and the like, and he said anecdotally that his restaurant/venue business follows the well-know...

On a personal note I find it quite interesting that a much discussed six-figure estimate for the anticipated move cost, has now been committed into print!

It says: “ ... in excess of £100,000”. That’s the same price as HS2.

Good luck to him and, as has been said, no one else has stepped-up to save the aircraft so it’s his to do what he likes with. I’ve just had a look at the Crowdfunding page and it suffers, as so many of these appeals do, from a lack of clarity and vision. It’s not clear who anyone is donating their m...

So what do we think Trump’s end game will be? Does he board himself up in the White House with an armed militia? Or does he go on Twitter, declare himself the Son of God and Biden the Antichrist, before launching the entire US nuclear arsenal?

Biden inherits an absolute wreck of a country, though. Hatred, division, police brutality, international reputation in the gutter, back-ass conspiracy theorists, a huge gender and wealth and race inequality gap, an economy that’s tanking, and a huge, *huge* COVID-19 issue. On the one hand it’s the ...

Trump is currently leading by around 160,000 votes, but Philadelphia election officials say that they are now counting approximately nine Biden mail-in ballots for every Trump postal ballot.[/i] That's what I saw in Michigan too. Trump was 10,000 or so ahead then c.100,000 votes were added at a rat...

Old times might remember how Neil Kinnock gained plaudits and set the way for (New) Labour to be elected by taking on Militant. By taking on the extreme wing of the Labour party in this way, Starmer is showing exactly the type of leadership that is required for a national, encompassing leader. That...

Sorry, everyone - I got my tiers mixed-up. I’ve been telling my friends I’m not allowed to meet them in the pub, but could have been doing so all the time. The funny things is that this has been going on for a couple of weeks and none of them have said I’m wrong and that there’s nothing stopping me ...

To ensure that as many people comply as possible, it needs to be as simple as possible. Additionally, it seems as though the restrictions ar...

It’s looking like immunity doesn’t last too long, however, meaning jabs will be needed twice per year. Small price to pay, though. it's actually just the antibody that's been shown to decline in PCR tested positive patients. T cells are probably a more important factor in viral immunity. Jabs for 7...

Who would have thought that showing a picture of The Prophet to a class of schoolchildren, after advising the Muslim students that you are about to do it and to leave the room if they thought it would offend them, would be more dangerous than visiting a pub that doesn’t serve food. Holding up a car...

An interesting question popped up by my neighbour yesterday - "Whats happened to all the fighting in the Middle East - they can't have just stopped cuz of the Flu (His Words)" Nothing has been on the media about this like we was getting almost every night, as we know the virus mainly affects the el...

Ken. I was typing my message as you posted your post before it. If I had seen your post before I posted I would probably would have waited. I wasn’t trying to make you feel bad for joking about meeting up in another area. My partner’s foster son’s wife ( life is complicated) has terminal cancer. Sh...

My brother ( as I’ve already mentioned ) died of cancer to the end of March. Only 10 of us could attend his funeral in April. It would have been his 50th birthday tomorrow. At midnight where we live goes into Tier-3 at midnight, so not even half of the 10 who could attend his funeral can meet up to...

Did anyone see the briefing today? A member of the public asked Johnson about meeting of people between someone from Kent (tier1) and Essex (tier2), I think around childcare. He couldn’t answer what the rules were, waffled and said look at the website. These tier system was supposed to make things ...

Yeah that’s my line of thinking, too. Which just isn’t a sustainable approach. The New Year to next Spring has to be the big decision point, in my view. A continuing cycle of lockdowns isn’t sustainable economically or socially. There will be mass unemployment like we’ve never seen before, potentia...
