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.

PUBLIC HEALTH

So 70 nasty party MP’s are likely to either vote against or abstain on an issue of Public Health. Would these people have voted against legislation for seatbelts, using mobile phones whilst driving, drink driving, etc. Listening to James O’Brian discuss patriotic duty. Patriotism means doing the best for your country – not wrapping the flag around you or other false gestures.

CONTROL

is the control of the rich slipping? Probably not, but their control of most of the UK media outlets is becoming less significant. the circulation of papers has fallen massively. The politicians are desperate to control the BBC and sell off Channel 5.

SAJID JAVID

“We will throw everything at Omicron” – as long as it is only vaccines. And even then we will water down the rules for a vaccine passport. Also an interesting amount of money @ £22 a shot! Schools are unaffected by Omicron apparently and do not need extra ventilation – where are the air quality testing kits? Regardless of covid I can list many classrooms that need better ventilation full stop – influenza, etc. and with supply teachers costing £180 a day it is worth schools investing in health measures to keep teachers safe (obviously these measures benefit all the students too).

POLITICS

It has become increasingly clear that our political system is not fit for purpose. The Tories are ripping the party apart with the rabid right wing undermining the centrist element, whilst the same is true of the Labour Party with the Corbyn left being marginalised.
