LIVING WITH THE VIRUS

Government policy seems to promote this. 500+ deaths a week, 3 million cases since 1st June, thousands in hospital. But all this is now ignored as the government has passed responsibility to the people on this, and everything else that is problematic.

KIALO

A new toy to play with. I think it could be brilliant in schools at 6th form level. My first attempt is here. https://www.kialo.com/lawns-are-an-environmental-disaster-53664?path=53664.0~53664.3&active=~53664.3

COVID OCTOBER

Still do not understand what is going on. Yesterday 122 deaths from Covid, 6817 people in hospital with it. Over 40000 new cases. To my mind that is reasons for a bit of panic? But no – nothing from government – it is like they have accepted the 1460 road deaths in 2020 and now expect us to accept 30.000 deaths a year from Covid?

Or are the deaths reported not solely down to Covid, can someone please explain?

FOOTBALL

So the barcodes have been sold to the Saudi’s. Will they sign players like confetti – Haaland, Mbappe, for starters? I would be looking at my CV if I was Bruce – I suspect we will see big names mentioned over the next few days/weeks.

BUTTERFLIES

Perhaps our most colourful wildlife. This summer I saw very few, and most of them were small whites. The wet spring may have been a case as they are coldblooded insects. But statistics show a decline of 76% since 1976.

ELECTION

I there an election coming up? Johnson’s speech to his deluded fans yesterday seemed like it. Why does he lambast Corbyn till? Why have a go at the Labour Party when it is doing a great job of destroying itself?

UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE

I like this tournament! Four teams per group meaning 6 games in total rather than the 10 or twelve in Fifa World Cup and Uefa Europa Cup. International games no longer mean much when so many are rather pointless. I accept that England vs Andorra or ~Gibraltar might help the game a bit, but surely it should be more like the FA Cup. The UEFA Nations League does this – cuts down the number of International Games and make the fixtures more relevant. So Italy vs Spain tonight, not on telly though, Italy favourites, but I wonder if the present demise of Barcelona might lead to more local talent coming through? I would guess one goal will settle it? Then tomorrow Belgium vs France – will Belgiums talented generation win something at last?

BULL

So Johnson says we will have a high wage, high skill, high productivity economy in there future. As ever nice words. With virtually zero immigration who are going to do the low wage, low skill, low productivity jobs, unless they are mostly exported?

FLOODS

London hit by floods again. High rainfall maybe down to climate change, but we have clothed our cities in impermeable concrete and tarmac. Front gardens have been paved for extra parking. It is time to have a change of plan. All car parks should have lattice paving allowing infiltration. Roof gardens encouraged, lakes and ponds developed, wildlife areas planted. Put more trees in. Subsidised water butts. These measures might not stop future floods but they would certainly help.
