PROBLEMS AND MISTAKES

Prime Ministers QT is so predictable. Johnson replies do not address the question, then at the end he whines that the opposition is not supporting him. This typifies the self-entitlement he and many other tories have. Their whole life has been one of entitlement and self-gratification. They cannot negotiate or compromise because they are right. Only those who agree with them can be listened to – thus the problems and mistakes.

COVID STATS

First day of lockdown. The statistics table is on next page. After 2 weeks we should see a reduction in cases if the lockdown is working. Now would be the time to bring students home from university. Negligently he missed the opportunity to extend half term and shut schools (which may still be a major factor).

I will add a couple of places to stats from Wales, Scotland and N.I.

ELECTION USA

So it goes to the wire. I suspect that there are 2 scenarios. Firstly Trump wins and lots on Twitter. Secondly Biden wins and Trump pursues it through the courts until he wins.

In general I think I avoided incompetence in my professional life. But then I was well supported by colleagues. So I am going to have a sweaty rant on the next page!

SUNDAY 1 NOVEMBER 2020

A Sunday ramble. The weather is wet and mild and a bit breezy. Just deciding what to do with diced lamb. I think a quick marinade in harissa and some flat bread with tomato and courgette? and onion and sweet peppers, or maybe a veggie sauce with dried mushrooms, garlic and marmite?

AMERICAN ELECTION

A couple of days to go. And most votes have already been cast – is this something we will see in this country in future? I mean to be honest, why not just have postal voting? Electronic makes more sense but, I am not sure what the but is!
