If the ageing process, Brexit and Covid have taught me one
thing, it’s that making impulsive assumptions can result in public shaming and
not learning about the devil in the detail. It also allows people like Toby
Young, Julia Hartley Brewer and Laurence Fox to make money for being the voices
of lunatic reason.
So, with that in mind, I decided to not pay much attention to the outrage directed at footballers who had broken Covid-19 ...
Lockdown had to happen. In many ways, when it did, I was quite
relieved. The longer we were waiting for the inevitable, the more people were
being infected and the longer we would have to wait for a countdown out of this
crisis.
At least now, we can look forward (with more than a hint of

In a way it has done everyone a favour, as it has rid us of
the wacky theory of a five-day free for all to wipe out half the population of
pensioners. Anyone with common sense knew it was a stupid idea in ...
I was speaking to a work colleague the other day and he was
adamant that British standards wouldn’t change after a No Deal Brexit (If it
happens).
His theory is that British companies are renown for operating over and above EU
regulations with regards to workers rights, the environment and health & safety.
