Despite government inaction many people are scaling back activities over Xmas. But many will not!
SLEAZY COME – SLEAZY GO
Johnson needs to go, and so do most of the cabinet and arse lickers. In a democracy (note Joy Morrissey) liars and cheats, embezzlers and fraudsters, and their cronies would be hounded out of office wholesale, not one at a time. Honesty and integrity would demand mass resignation from M.P.s and civil servants – maybe Trump’s dogma of clear the swamp was correct if applied to this country.
COVID
Data analysis time again – and still no wiser. I have had a look at the areas with numbers above 800/100000 and there is no apparent pattern. Double jab vaccination varies from 82.1 to 59.3. and single jab from 87.8 to 65.7. So vaccination rates on single/double jab) would appear to be of little relevance in the actual numbers (I do not have access to the detailed figures for hospitalisations and deaths).

AUSTRALIA DEAL
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson
A chaotic mess with no moral compass – lovely quote from Chris Bryant describing the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
WOKE
I am proud to be WOKE and shocked that everyone else is not!
Woke is an adjective meaning ‘alert to racial prejudice and discrimination’ that originated in African-American Vernacular English. STAY WOKE
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.
