Just had the booster yesterday so that's one on the eye for all the 'experts' saying they are no use!

Glad you're staying safe! Fingers crossed the numbers come back down soon.

1) The information, which was new to me, that all these other groups in Labour also support PR, rather than being encouraging to the cause of PR, is discouraging. Because if there's already all this pressure and the party hasn't moved, a little more pressure is unlikely to change things much.

2) Or, why I got only so far in physics and no farther.

3) I thought all the rootin'-tootin' "I have the right to blah-blah"/"Mask mandates are fascist" nonsense was an Amurrican wild-west libertarian thing. What's it doing in Britain?

5) Looking forward to my booster in 2 weeks.

6) Here's another interview on film-set gun safety with a slightly different view.

1) They've only just voted in favour of it. Sadly too late to be supportive at Labour conference.

3) We've got the same right wing thinking corrupting a lot of Conservatives. It's awful, and it's the reason why our cases are so appallingly high.
