Unfortunately I think that the majority of people that vote for him have no real interest in politics and don’t read anything about it either.

6 days after we moved house. The new home has 8 rooms. 7 of them still have removal boxes, 2 of them still completely full of them.

Moving house is exhausting.

(Still haven’t found the box with the bathroom things in. Living out of our travelling toilet bags.)

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden).

Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again.

Moved to the N Cornwall coast, just outside Padstow. Been a dream of ours for years.

So, we moved into our new home yesterday. Already been welcomed by four neighbours (and their dogs), the postman and the local window cleaner. Feels like a real community. Shattered after a week of preparing for and then moving, but all worth it for this view from our new sitting room.

So, can we expect prosecutions for Johnson, Cummings and Wormold for their β€œinexcusable” failings during the Covid outbreak?

Of course not.

They should all three be brought to book for their actions, or lack of them.

So many more people died than should have.
