I see the likes of Peston and Laura K have embarrassed themselves again making this aide sacking story the top headline - confusing their bubble gossip and briefings for actual important news. Client journalism at its worst.

Are you not excited to see which, if any, SPADs follow him out of No 10 or which other white, bald, 40 something guy is going to fill the power vacuum he's left behind?

We've had a major negative this year so we will need two positives. One to cancel out the negative and one to get positive.

Got to admit to being surprised by those numbers. OK, it’s on the back of a massive drop due to the Global Covid pandemic. But surprising none the less.

All this alongside COVID where, since the July/August low point England has performed better than France, Spain and Italy. In terms of testing per million, significantly better.

Go look at the global statistics and graphs. Try to understand how numbers work. Go look back at the situation in July/August and monitor from then onwards. Try to understand the global nature of this pandemic and the different issues countries face. Try to take into consideration the moron factor of many in the U.K. who choose to ignore Government guidelines.

Try to understand the conflicts between the factions wanting and not wanting lockdowns. Look around the world. Look at deaths per million in Spain and Belgium. Look at how countries, like France, who omit deaths at home.

Try to look at the issues without red coloured glasses. But of course the looney left have no interest in this. Hey ho. I dislike Boris with a passion so no political bias there.

There is political bias, you voted for him. Your bias was to him rather than 'the looney left', which is absolutely fine. But you still voted for him, so you're not neutral entirely. If you're talking of 'looney left' as the far left, or Corbynites (as I assume you are again), I think you'll find they are very critical of Labour right now.

But I did like the rest of your post. When coming to view information, it is GOOD to look at a wide range of circumstances to come to an answer. It's really cutting edge stuff.

According to https://www.statista.com/statistics/110 ... habitants/ we have the ninth worst total deaths per million. Belgium is having an absolute shocker.

I've asked this before, and never had a satisfactory response. What makes people in the UK more moronic that others? Is there some genetic/dietary/environmental reason - or might it be somehow connected to how we are led?

Not at all. I’ve been plenty critical of many things the Tories have done. Never made any secret of my dislike for Boris even before he became leader. I’ve consistently been complimentary to Kier and aware of the difficulties he face. If there was an election tomorrow, Labour would get my vote like they have for the majority of my life. It’s only in recent years I’ve become anti Labour and that’s down the the rubbish leaders they choose to elect. I’m a self confessed Blairite.

Thinking about it, maybe Kier once he sorts out the current Labour shambles.
