FOOTBALL

5 more postponements for the weekend. The FA will need to act soon before the disruption to the fixture list becomes unbalanced. Already we have seen no postponements for the top 3, whilst Spurs are already 3 games in arrears, Brentford and Burnley 2. The top clubs may have large enough squads, but with the African Nations Cup coming up there needs to be forward planning. It also needs to be set out clearly in advance to ensure fairness.

BY-ELECTION

Humiliation for Johnson with a Conservative majority of 23000 overturned by a swing of 34.2%. Several comments. There was a definite ABC vote which may not be replicated in a general election. The turnout was less than 50% indication of Tory abstentions possibly, or maybe disgust at the shenanigans in Westminster.

Repeated pleas to the government of Saudi Arabia for a second job, partly to pass his children’s private education fees. Saudi Arabia is amongst the worlds pariah regimes – murder, corruption, misogyny, Yemen, Qatar, etc.

COVID

SAGE recommends a 10 day circuit breaker, but the government says party on! Cases reached 78,610 yesterday, with 60% of cases in London being Omicron. Already I am seeing mask wearing falling – less than 50% at the shop this morning 6.30 -7.30 am.

COVID

I am monitoring covid stats for areas that concern me.

So far numbers have not increased here or my other areas. I will go back to a spreadsheet format.

WOMEN

Why are women football teams always named women as a suffix? American sports use different suffix for different sports – we should do the same for womens’ sport.

THWAITES

Thwaites is so wide, it goes to the horizon in all directions

Scientists are warning of dramatic changes at one of the biggest glaciers in Antarctica, potentially within the next five to 10 years.

HOC

Watching the HoC – seems that Labour benches are thin? Just checked and many Labour MP’s abstained – about 40. Whilst 8? voted against, mainly the very left wing.
