Welcome to another edition of the Frank Report, the place where we say the unsayable so you don’t have to. This week’s theme appears to be ‘taking the piss’, which is no great surprise; the great and the good have always taken the piss out of Joe Public, but they’re getting increasingly brazen about it.

Free speech ain’t what it used to be. Thankfully, the good guys are still entitled to it. Twitter seems to have taken a leaf out of Sadiq Khan’s ‘vibrant diversity’ playbook, deciding that pretty much anything goes – so long as the target of said speech meets with approval.

Unlike politicians, the sun held up its end of the bargain this week. The extreme heat warning was even extended to the East of Scotland, where temperatures reached a staggering 30 degrees (and that’s before you get inside the kilt). Our beloved NHS set aside a tranche of its £190 Bn budget to inform us

Welcome to another edition of the Frank Report, and it’s more doom and gloom this week I’m afraid. Covid cases have hit a record high in the UK with daily symptomatic infections ‘soaring’ to 351,546. And yet, Britons are not nearly as terrified as they should be – only three in ten of us are
