So, like, Cummings does one in 'grand' style, and now Boris has been told by the track and trace system to isolate. Is it my mischievous mind, or is it a load of rubbish.

As I understand it, Cummings actual office was in another building and there is another door to Downing St, so it looks like his flounce off down the road with his box was orchestrated to get some attention from the press/public. 

 

There is also a rumour that he fell out with Johnson for referring to Carrie Symonds as 'Princess Nut-nuts'.

I suspect the texts were referring to Blojo himself and not his missus.

I do think that his flounce was orchestrated, much like the rest of his moves.

BBC Radio 1 will not play the original version of Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl this Christmas, because its audience may be offended by some of the lyrics.

The station said young listeners were particularly sensitive to derogatory terms for gender and sexuality.

It will instead play an edited version with different lyrics sung by MacColl.

But the 1987 original will still be played on Radio 2, while 6 Music DJs can choose between the two versions.

It looks like good old fashioned keynsian economics, couple this with the decision to go ahead with HS2, renewable energy etc.and devaluation of the pound post the referendum  the government will spend its way out of depression.

 

Just let's hope UK Ltd. can pick up the baton and run with it without dropping it to China Tech or Trumptown.
