BREXIT

Remainers have been criticised for not applauding the benefits of Brexit. Power has transferred in some areas from Brussels to Westminster where it has become centralised with little devolution to the other nations of the UK. Trade with the EU has plummeted and not been replaced. Immigration has been stalled, maybe even halted, but to the detriment of many parts of the economy.

ESSENTIAL WORKERS

To start with identifying these is easy. NHS and blue light workers. But these people need to get to work so add in public transport workers. Parents need their children to be in school so add teachers and education staff. Shop workers – mainly food shop workers but then add chemists – and supermarkets sell other stuff so in the name of fairness all shop workers. Then financial workers to keep the payment system working.

BRAGGING RIGHTS

Internationals, but I thought I would keep it to 10 matches.Playing Friday: Czech Rep vs Wales:  Latvia vs NetherlandsSaturday: Switz vs N.Ireland:  Faroe Is vs Austria: Scotland vs Israel:  Andorra vs England:  Hungary vs Albania: Poland vs San Marino.Sunday UEFA Nations League Final: Belgium orFrance vs Italy or Spain: 3rd Place as before (Semi Finals on Weds and Thurs. Total number of goals could be interesting.

GOING GREEN

We will see how it goes but the Green Party have made a positive choice in Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay as its new leaders. Committed to election success I hope they leave the oddballs on the edge of the party. Extinction Rebellion founder Amelia Woman is still deputy leader but missed out on leadership.
