I have to say this. 150000 people in the UK have died from Covid with more dying due to unavailability of NHS beds, etc. Most were over 65. So the government has saved, I read £1-5 billions in pensions, and how much for the NHS by the demise of people with u darling symptoms?

Kwasi Kwarteng and Rishi Sunak head to head with Johnson siding with Kwasi – Rishi is much too much of a threat! I don’t much care who wins – Sunak will introduce austerity again whilst Kwarteng is a nasty capitalist to the core. He believes we retire too early, work less hours than we should and have low productivity. I am surprised he is not advocating sweat shops and child labour.
FOOTBALL
A Monday take on the weekend. A nice win for Plymouth takes them top of the table, and a nice gate of nearly 12000.In fact gates in Div 1 were high with Sheff weds getting over 23 thousand and Ipswich over 19 thousand. Forest Green lost at Home to Swindon but remain top and the gas moved away from relegation zone (just) with win at home with an impressive gate of oner 6 thousand.
The internationals were remarkable for the lack of huge scores. 5-0 is not humiliation and achieved by San Marino, Andorra and Liechtenstein. Otherwise no real surprises, Hungary losing at home to Albania and other results being closer than expected. Wales need a win tonight in Estonia.

KWARTENG BID FOR LEADERSHIP
Kwasi shows that he can lie with the best of them. The Treasury said Kwarteng was making things up when he said he was in talks with them to support industry.
EYES WIDE SHUT!
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.

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.
