Getting Tough on Asylum Seekers

Comedian Leo Kearse suggested on GB News Headliners that we could advertise our NHS waiting lists more forcefully or the convoluted system for trying to make an appointment with a GP. However, that is unlikely to work given that GP waiting rooms are often full of immigrant families who must have a special NHS app. That is, one that works.

LGBTQwerty Airlines 

Most, if not all, the passengers on a flight care not a jot about the sexual orientation of the crew; they simply don’t need to know.

The Covid Inquiry grinds to a start 

I cannot be alone in thinking that the inquiry has an easy job, and it goes something like this: a respiratory virus of demonstrably low lethality spread here from China; none of the non-pharmacological measures that were introduced had evidence to support them; no assessment of risk was made; human rights were overridden; and the harms of social and economic lockdown were evident long before they were lifted.

The Low Carbon Delusions Of Sadiq Khan 

Inevitably, the roads began to fill up again as the great socialist experiment to make us all do what we are told failed and continues to fail despite the low emission zones spreading, and some morphing into ultra-low emission zones (ULEZ) so beloved of the great Khant himself. If figures for March 2023 from the Mayor’s Office are to be believed then the measures have reduced the number of ‘polluting vehicles’ on the road in London, reduced emissions and made London a much cleaner place in which to get stabbed. Maybe so, but does it have any real effect on health? Nobody knows.
