I was taken in

During the Brexit fiasco I was completely taken in by Jacob Rees-Mogg. I thought his calm erudite manner was good. What did he achieve? Where is he now? As far as I can see he liked to pontificate in his posh 'dulcet' tones. I was fooled.

However, I am currently very impressed with the new Chancellor Rishi Sunak who oozes confidence which does not seem fake. He talks well, has a no-nonsense approach and, for me, is a calming influence at this critical time.

Well done that man.

Also, Boris is doing a good job and does not come across as the buffoon some people have made him out to be. I do not believe Teresa May or David Cameron would have commanded the same authority as either of this guys.

Just saying!

Guitar Stand

We have several guitars at school for which I have bought stands. We were lacking one stand so I decided to make one in the carpentry shop (I run the evening woodwork activity).

I am rather pleased with this.

We are an island

So they want to control / eradicate and generally keep Coronavirus at bay?

No they don't. What they want to do is have life as per normal and attempt to prevent it from taking hold in the UK.

News for your Boris. We are an island.

If the worst comes to the worst we should close the channel tunnel, stop all incoming flights and shipping and isolate ourselves. There will be problems with trade, food imports and much, much more so my solution is pretty half-baked: but it could be a solution.

Many years ago my father told me that what saved us in WW2 was the English Channel. Having built the tunnel all sorts of things can get through but, so far, rabies has not.
