    Well you certainly seem to want the Blairite consensus to continue, useless Mandarins and Quangocrats on six-figure salaries and fat pensions, one of the main reasons we've had so many deaths from Coronavirus, even if he does go I hope that at least PHE will be abolished.

    Don't know what it's like there but news here, especially local, is slowly returning to the more usual stories of stabbings and shootings. The virus was only about the 5th story this morning and that was a report about attacks on Chinese and Chinese looking businesses and people in the street. Don't think Trump realises the repercussion of him mentioning China about 3 times every sentence he utters.

    Travel through the airport here is at 1967 levels this Bank Holiday. Not so with prices at the supermarkets unfortunately which are being driven up by food shortages mainly due to shutdown of meat processing plants with virus outbreaks. There's been no fresh beef or pork in our local store for weeks.

    One weird thing, about every house that has gone up for sale around us in the past 2 months has sold within a week and often for around 10% above asking price.

    Could be. More space plus the fact that many companies seem to be more attuned with working from home even when this ends so the commute into the city will become moot. Need to beware though as Google have already put forward the fact that if someone wants to work from home permanently then they see no need to pay wages for them to live close to Menlo Park (SF Bay area). As long as there's high speed internet, everyone can move to cheaper places, like Bangladesh.

    Think that android Zuckerberg said the same thing.

    There's a place your way called Walla Walla isn't there?

    Sounds Australian.

    Watching the PM give the daily update,explaining more retail shops can open and more flexibility but the very biased remainiac media journalists only wanted to talk about Cummings.Why was this hysterical quizzing not implemented when a labour MP went to a funeral where 100 people attended.Yes 100.These dishonest egomaniacs hate the fact that a large majority of voters sided with the only party that could take us out of Brussels control . Misleading the public with false information is common place now and social media is a minefield for fake news.We are now beginning to see positive figures on infection rates so we will start to return back to some form of normality.
