Number in North Somerset down tp 11.6 with only 3 of the 20 or 21 areas having 3 cases each and 16 spread across the other areas with less than 2 in each. My second jab tomorrow morning.
NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM
A sort of who am I? I was born in Essex to Essex parents. So I am Essex, and therefore English, British, European and a member of the human race. I vote on the left/green, I support Sunderland and Forest Green Rovers. I have lived in Cornwall, London, East Sussex, Hertfordshire, West Midlands, North Somerset, Avon, Devon (some for a very short time). My children were born in Cornwall, East Sussex and Avon (Bristol). my children live in Bristol and Cornwall. My grandchildren are all Cornish.
ANGRY PEOPLE
There seems to be a growing anger in this country. Anti-lockdown demos; anti-police bill demos and now ManU vs Liverpool called off. Is this a result of people feeling that they are not listened to, or respected anymore? In all 3 instances the issues do not seem to be massively important, yet people are willing to risk jobs, fines, even prison.

RANDOM QUESTIONS
INTROVERSION
Just when we need a confident government with both humility and humanity, we get these bozos. Cutting funds to world wide family planing, from water aid. Do they really believe the world does not exist outside the UK?
Perhaps this is the biggest obstacle to be overcome in the next decade. Forget the TNC’s and globalisation at our peril. Climate change is the greatest threat to humanity. Population growth is a huge part of this, and poverty a major part of population growth. To cut rather than improve the efficiency of our input is wrong. Simple.
The climate change challenge requires vision, determination and strength. This government has none of these.
