Third Attempt at a Kit Response!
Hi Kit,hope things are going well your end. I still haven’t heard from you about my ferry and balloons ventures? I have to presume they are dead in the water, or should I say English Channel? I have read that the £110 million set aside for ‘No Deal’ ferries has now been fully allocated to freight companies. With that in mind, I presume that there will be a rebate back to the tax payer in the event of a Brexit deal? This especially ...
The Brexit Double Down Has Started

Murray’s Premature Adulation
As a sports fan, I was quite intrigued to watch the toe snapping tribute to Andy Murray at The Australian Open the other day. This not because I don’t like Murray, quite the opposite. Murray is a fine competitor in a brutal sport. However, the Aussies ran a tribute that, following the in the footsteps of the BBC, was bordering on an obituary. I saw the press conference last week when Murray (who is beset by a hip problem) said that he ...
