CO-INCIDENCE

2 days ago I had a Madeleine baking tray delivered as ( thought I would try something new. Speaking to Tamsin this morning she just had a Madeleine baking tray delivered to make clam shaped cakes for Otties birthday.

BREXIT SO FAR

We are told that it has happened and we are better off! Firstly it seems not to have totally happened yet as the Government is still pretending that it did not mean it when it signed the treaty. Liars and thieves.

DO BEARS SHIT IN THE WOODS?

Will the world do anything meaningful to stop climate change? Coal production is being increased across the world, including plans for a new one in the UK, and a new North Sea Oil well to be opened. Unfortunately it seems that all leaders are impervious to facts and actually believe the rhetoric that they dream up. In this country we have a PM who goes on holiday to avoid nasty news. But the rest are just as bad, or worse.

CYNICAL – MOI?

I have to say this. 150000 people in the UK have died from Covid with more dying due to unavailability of NHS beds, etc. Most were over 65. So the government has saved, I read £1-5 billions in pensions, and how much for the NHS by the demise of people with u darling symptoms?

SPATS

Kwasi Kwarteng and Rishi Sunak head to head with Johnson siding with Kwasi – Rishi is much too much of a threat! I don’t much care who wins – Sunak will introduce austerity again whilst Kwarteng is a nasty capitalist to the core. He believes we retire too early, work less hours than we should and have low productivity. I am surprised he is not advocating sweat shops and child labour.

FOOTBALL

A Monday take on the weekend. A nice win for Plymouth takes them top of the table, and a nice gate of nearly 12000.In fact gates in Div 1 were high with Sheff weds getting over 23 thousand and Ipswich over 19 thousand. Forest Green lost at Home to Swindon but remain top and the gas moved away from relegation zone (just) with win at home with an impressive gate of oner 6 thousand.

The internationals were remarkable for the lack of huge scores. 5-0 is not humiliation and achieved by San Marino, Andorra and Liechtenstein. Otherwise no real surprises, Hungary losing at home to Albania and other results being closer than expected. Wales need a win tonight in Estonia.

COP26

Setting an example would be good! So ban internal flights ing the UK where a train journey of less than 5 hours is available – maybe the government should charter a train to get their entourage to Glasgow in November.
