“We are first to get the vaccine because we have the best regulators and the best scientists, in fact we are the best country in the World”. Are Boris Johnson and his lieutenants completely devoid of any common sense at all? At a time when we need all the international friends we can get, are Gavin Williamson’s motivationally patriotic and stirring words really what is needed? The man was about as much use as a tank without tracks at the Ministry of Defence and he’s made a horlicks of Education. Now he’s stirring up ill will amongst our friends and allies with brain dead proclamations of Churchillian patriotism; only Winnie would never have been so stupid! Where are the Statesmen, the men or women of intellect and stature amongst our leading politicians? Perhaps we should let Marcus Rashford have a go at running the Country…..
Pursuing the medical theme of No 163, I heard an amazing tale yesterday of a fifty year old woman who was given two years to live having had a full hysterectomy, only to learn that the cancer had spread. After one session of chemotherapy she decided that wasn’t the way to go and sought alternative therapies. She turned vegan, worked on turning her body alkaline and attended regular treatments in an oxygen chamber. That was four years ago and she has since been given the all-clear; no sign of any cancer. Why isn’t that being proclaimed from the rooftops?

But if there is no deal, Britain will quite legally declare those waters as British and no one else will be entitled to fish in them. What a pretty pass.
I am looking forward to the final of the Autumn nations cup when England take on France. The cheese-eating surrender monkeys may have found the answer to the longbow, but have they prepared a defence to Eddie Jones? Twickenham will literally echo to the sound of two thousand fans cheering on a full strength England team against the visitors who will be minus twenty five of their top players thanks to an agreement between the national selectors and the leading clubs. Jones’s men will have egg on their faces if they don’t win handsomely. It wouldn’t be the first time,
