One of the things I come up against in my job, is people who think they are above health & safety. It is, more often than not, older guys. Their constant claims that they are ‘old school’ and are victims of ‘health & safety gone mad’, puts me off engaging them. They have, in general, been conned by the tabloids that they are the victims of regulation. It’s a load of old tosh. They are a danger to themselves and others.

I don't want to sound too rude but I am going to state a simple fact. 99% of the people I know who are either not very bright or think that politics is boring, love (or loved) a bit of Boris Johnson.

To be an up to date political journalist in the UK must be an absolute nightmare. No sooner than sitting down with the laptop to pen a piece on the NI protocol, Isabel Oakeshott stitches up Matt Hancock. Move onto that story, then Boris Johnson pipes up with a keynote waffling and bumbling session. Quickly on to that, then Keir Starmer employs a woman who, in the minds of half the nation, is called, Sue Gray-Report.
