When the PM describes the health minister as useless, you have to wonder. Why did he keep him in the job then?

A later patsy?

Trump is running in 2024 and will likely win unless the liberals cheat again.

Tuesday: pence will never get the nomination. There are other more qualified. And Kamala had to pull out of the Presidential run. She’s unpopular especially at home. The vaccine is a personal choice. Based on evidence and clear thinking I will not get one. I don’t have cable and never watch Fox. But I can read. The FDA is putting out new warnings on Moderna and Pfizer. Experimental drugs not FDA approved. No thanks. All for a 99% plus survival rate. Both above mentioned drugs have caused heart inflammation. Hence the fda warnings.

Papa Zoom: Had both shots of the Astra Zeneca version. No weird sides, felt like someone had punched me in the arm next few days. Though know some it has given some short term problems like headaches and stomach upset, especially on the second.

Most in UK now at least had one shot. And yeah seen the news and chat on Moderna and the Pfizer vaccines. Keeping an eye on it, as boosters will be offered to UK citizens later.

All can have been avoided if they'd just closed down tight at first. When family of mine came back from Italy when it was bad there in march 2020. No checks at the airport, no temps taken. Just told to go home and self isolate.

If I could have an hour with the PM, with him on truth drugs.. and a live feed to the net.

Papa Zoom: Aye they did, and still are. Our Health minister just resigned, not because he was having an affair, and having his mistress 'getting paid' by working for the gov. But because he was caught snogging her, when we were all being taught to avoid such outside long term relationships.

Well probably a bit of all three, but Boris Johnson did the first two as Mayor of London. 'modern' Conservatism seems to have caught up with an old French commentary regarding the Profumo affair. French found it weird that a politician didn't have a mistress!

Tuesday: We do and we don't have to wear them, have so always since this covid business started. Exempt people have never had to wear them, and legally you can't be asked to prove you are exempt. I wear a mask wear in shops and other like places. Or near certain areas where I see people who have shown they don't distance properly. Mothers and their tea shops with tables outside, seem to be above the regs.

Luckily no "Mr Rabbit" organising things, plotting to change our DNA.
.. I'm referring to a series called "Utopia".. UK Version best
But alot of dodgy contracts to conservative campaign contributors. Companies who've never traded, or usually make dog food. Nothing unusual though. Seeing Biden getting some badly needed infrastructure repairs/upgrades done. If like happened in the UK, expect some price fixing and other stuff amongst companies.

UK law now states that manufacturers are legally required now to make spare parts available to people buying electrical appliances, what are usually called 'white goods' here in the UK. eg fridges, cookers, tumble dryers, washing machines, etc.

But at the same time. it is restricted to 'safe repairs' such as door hinges, seals, etc. Such as heating elements in washing machines are still a get a professional to fix it Job.

Though having repaired my cooker re heating element in oven, and a door switch a few years back. We could already?

Annoyed me that the circuitry was so cack handed, it was pointless to try and repair it. Just two years old even more annoying. Outside the warranty so pffff!

I didn't review them before buying, thought they wouldn't mess up such a simple thing. I won't make the same mistake again!

Yesterday was "freedom day" in the UK, so called lol
Everything is open, cases are rising. Businesses in the retail are, are having to take on "pool staff". As now, every time one of their staff is 'pinged' they have to self isolate.

People are now supposed to act sensibly re masks and mixing. Shops still saying "mask up", especially the independents. As when they get ill, there is no "pool staff"

Worrying when told the only reason a campaign manager supported the PM in being elected, knowing he was "useless". Is because he didn't want the other party to win the election.

Subject: Re:
Tuesday: Such is the world of politics today. Funny things like politicians voting for a relaxation of fire regs, many of them being private landlords big time. Then, a tower block burns, because the cheaper cladding had a flammable core. Possibly 100K+ buildings with the bad cladding. Home owners stuck with a place they can't sell, without paying for the claddings replacement. Government is 'helping' financially, though far short of the real costs involved.

Funny things..

Subject: Re:
Tuesday: It's an exterior weather proofing large tile shaped interlocking system. Can be used to beautify old tower blocks as well. Several types are available.. some with cores of flammable materials, some with non flammable material. Most countries don't allow the use of flammable core cladding. Yet as it's cheaper, it was ok'd to be used in the UK for a better profit margin.

A decision that has been reversed.

Papa Zoom: 20 years is enough for the old crowd to be replaced. Heard story that some did want to wait for Saddam Hussain to die. His kids were more moderate. But the west had to have a win, and Afghanistan isn't easy to conquer.
