But thats what tends to happen and then the company finds itself restricted by the system developer in what it can say :). We'll all be sending identical emails before you know it.

Anyway SKS is a lawyer and he's more likely to prove the Tories guilty than endear himself to the public. Boris just doesn't answer though, can he continue that for 3 years.

If the mortality rate is really increasing it's possible and the increase in mortality ** could ** be more than is reined in by the vaccine - then we really are in a mess. Edit: of course this is a really bad scenario - really bad. There must also be the Captain Trips (stephen king) scenario though however small (one in a million, one in a billion but its there ?)

He's a lawyer and he acts like a lawyer. I think the red wall seats will move to Labour if they don't see change by 2024 (and I don't know what will change really).

Facebook has now set-up it's own Supreme Court that decides who gets what punishment for what. Of course the first Facebook user in the dock is Donald J Trump.

Oh yes and a Charles Tyrwhitt flyer (I get one every post) that expired 17th January :)

I got an reminder for an a 5 yearly appointment today (posted december) and a credit card (requested december but no point in reporting it missing in post I just watched my balance carefully)

Anyway lets all be pleased the banging has stopped. (not related to Boris being on TV at all)

That's awful. Sounds really similar to the below in Milton Keynes. I'd think the effect on you after this would be closer to home invasion than theft. Really some sort of trauma help should be offered. https://www.mkfm.com/news/local-news/man-threatens-woman-with-knife-type-weapon-during-catalytic-converter-theft-in-milton-keynes/

That's true, afraid I'm a serial editor of posts due to consistent errors. :)

Hybrid grass (mixed real and fake) and is a thing now on football pitches.

OP - Maybe cut this criticism by editing the original bit of text. (just edited a bit about Biden).

And BAM - All undocumented Immigrants should have a pathway to citizenship Imagine Priti Patel doing that - although she's just call them illegal aliens. "And top Latino and immigrant advocacy groups who?ve seen details of the coming package said they were stunned by the boldness of Biden?s plan." ?We were totally floored by the immigration plan and the level of clarity,? https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/15/biden-immigration-plans-459766

WHAM - Well Nigello he's certainly upset the TERFs on day one - might or might not be radical depending on your stance but he's sticking to his principles. https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2021/01/10272481/biden-executive-order-transgender-women-girls-protection On to day two.

That bust of Churchill is stored away in a secure basement in area 51 by now LOL. He's not having that watching him every day.

what to do if a shop is not taking covid seriously

Wonder if like a footballer they'll have to work their way back to the top - I've seen a lot more of the deputy political editor recently. Their penalty and how easily they find it to return is an example to us I suppose. -
So both a measure of thickness :)

The journalist presenting it suggested the biggest bang for your buck would be to tighten measures for everybody not chase the non compliant people. Of course the non compliant would stand out even more in this case.
