The strikes continue although the media are trying to split public opinion between the disputes. Divide and rule. NHS facts are becoming more alarming as money is paid to agencies to place patients in care homes. Johnson is to appear before the Standards Committee of HoC next month and it will be shown live if he turns up!
Whitehall is spending millions on a bill to scrap EU Laws. Which will presumably make it even more difficult to do business with our nearest neighbours, and make the situation in Ireland worse which in turn will hamper relations with the USA. Which leaves China of the big 3 and we do not seem to be courting their trade! Coconuts from Tonga anyone!
And I was woken by thunder and lightening and more fucking rain! However now it should get drier but colder for a few days, Environment Agency had 100 severe flood warnings yesterday. So with a north wind there may be snow in Scotland before we return to wetter and milder weather later this month. February looks like being mild and wet which could mean more floods in the north and west.
Deaths of salmon in fish farms has doubled in the last year. Crab deaths in the north-east are being blamed by some on dredging for the Teeside Freeport. Government officials have denied this but also have refused to look at evidence produced by scientists investigating the deaths. DEFRA avoids the questions which may detract fro the Freeport?
Evidence of deaths by those refused help has been redacted by the DWP – is there actually anything this government can do efficiently, morally and legally?
