UKRAINE

It is difficult to read the mind of a despot, let alone a tosspot. So with Putin and Johnson the situation is serious. I find it interesting that the rhetoric from London and Washington is more hawkish than that of the Ukraine which seems fairly sanguine about things, saying the situation has not changed much over the last 8 years.

COVID

Getting rid of all restrictions seems a bit premature – can they publish the medical advice for this? The Omicron Variant seems less virulent but is it equatable with flu? I am happy to believe we are entering a post-Covid society but would like to see the evidence. North Somerset stats.

EXAMS

Williamson has gone – was he ever there? But usual chaos, confusion and lack of direction. Another cohort of children penalised by the incompetence of this government.

ENERGY BILLS

Some of the companies that have gone bust misused customers payments to the tune of at least £50 million, maybe many times that. Who pays for this mis use – the British Public via energy bills. Can we expect prosecutions? Do not hold your breath.
