HORRID SOCIETY

What sort of moron sets fire to someones car because they disagree with them? If caught they should certainly be jailed. There are many people I disagree with, sometimes passionately, but would respect their right to disagree. I hope Chris Packham remains steadfast and strong in his beliefs.

888

Johnson states that there is no need to make misogyny a hate crime as all the laws needed are there. So why then does Priti Patel announce a new emergency number proposed by BT and then adopted as her idea? Is she saying that dialling 999 will put a woman in distress in contact with a misogynistic male police officer? Perhaps we need separate numbers for racist attacks and homophobic attacks.

LIVING WITH THE VIRUS

Government policy seems to promote this. 500+ deaths a week, 3 million cases since 1st June, thousands in hospital. But all this is now ignored as the government has passed responsibility to the people on this, and everything else that is problematic.

KIALO

A new toy to play with. I think it could be brilliant in schools at 6th form level. My first attempt is here. https://www.kialo.com/lawns-are-an-environmental-disaster-53664?path=53664.0~53664.3&active=~53664.3

COVID OCTOBER

Still do not understand what is going on. Yesterday 122 deaths from Covid, 6817 people in hospital with it. Over 40000 new cases. To my mind that is reasons for a bit of panic? But no – nothing from government – it is like they have accepted the 1460 road deaths in 2020 and now expect us to accept 30.000 deaths a year from Covid?

Or are the deaths reported not solely down to Covid, can someone please explain?

FOOTBALL

So the barcodes have been sold to the Saudi’s. Will they sign players like confetti – Haaland, Mbappe, for starters? I would be looking at my CV if I was Bruce – I suspect we will see big names mentioned over the next few days/weeks.

BUTTERFLIES

Perhaps our most colourful wildlife. This summer I saw very few, and most of them were small whites. The wet spring may have been a case as they are coldblooded insects. But statistics show a decline of 76% since 1976.

ELECTION

I there an election coming up? Johnson’s speech to his deluded fans yesterday seemed like it. Why does he lambast Corbyn till? Why have a go at the Labour Party when it is doing a great job of destroying itself?

UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE

I like this tournament! Four teams per group meaning 6 games in total rather than the 10 or twelve in Fifa World Cup and Uefa Europa Cup. International games no longer mean much when so many are rather pointless. I accept that England vs Andorra or ~Gibraltar might help the game a bit, but surely it should be more like the FA Cup. The UEFA Nations League does this – cuts down the number of International Games and make the fixtures more relevant. So Italy vs Spain tonight, not on telly though, Italy favourites, but I wonder if the present demise of Barcelona might lead to more local talent coming through? I would guess one goal will settle it? Then tomorrow Belgium vs France – will Belgiums talented generation win something at last?
