    I wouldn’t touch any of them.. never had a flu jab in my life and never had a covid jab either.. I’ve had the odd cold and even mild flu symptoms but that’s it..
    The amount of people I know that have had flu and Covid have all had the jabs, in fact a fair few had covid after their jabs and not just once!!
    I have family in Italy who tell me that many believe the reason for so many deaths over there from covid was the body reaction, over compensating from the flu jab given in the Autumn before.. was why it effected so many older people.. sounds feasible to me..
    Of course you wouldn’t hear about that from the pharmaceutical companies or press that make fortunes..

    flu jab had no effect on the covid strain, what we as laymen dont get toknow is the tests etc going on in the scientific world to create and eliminate. I go to Scotland in the company of a scientist, conversations are strange as he queries almost everything. When I said why do keep on querying answers/ comments when the answer seems sorted? He said that is how scientists work to question all the details as to why..... so not as simple as we believe

    Just over half the MP's voted, primarily the opposition and those Tories who had an axe to grind? TM was correct with her speech, it was necessary to vote, but you need to listen to her speech and make your own mind about it.
    Media jump straight in and say unaminous vote for it. When you look deeper it was not so much as a pure condemnation of Boris as to a upholding the right thing to do [ as put forward by a lot of MP's, not so much the liar aspect ] as a protocol. the near 300 who didnt bother were obviously not intent in voting for it! so one COULD say it was pretty close!

    Changing the subject slightly

    Has anyone noticed a drop in their water pressure recently ?

    I certainly have.

    Fresh Water will become scarce in the future warn Water Companies

    We've had one of the wettest winters on record, with literally billions of gallons of rain having fallen on the UK between December and the end of April (with the exception of February which was largely dry)
    But already South East water have introduced a hosepipe ban in areas of Kent and Sussex. The same Kent and Sussex where massive house building schemes are taking place, which use massive amounts of water.

    The water companies failure to build any new reservoirs anywhere in the UK in the last 30 years and as they continue to abuse our rivers, streams and seas around the UK by dumping sewage into them need tougher Government penalties.

    Ridiculous

    I think I may mentioned this a few month's ago. I had a complasint put in and an engineer came and did test which showed we were on the accepted bottom limit for our boiler!
    My own test hence my complaint was that in my garden I could stand at a certain point [ limit of hosepipe ] and normally reach a flower box it was falling about 2foot+ short . on the day he said been to main supply tap and checked pressure it was fine ... tried my test and it just reached the flower box a week later it wouldnt! [ same time of day ] Currently is just about reaching box on one end!

    The Government have failed to deliver many of the benefits that Brexit should have offered us such as tearing up EU laws, securing our borders, reclaiming our sovereign fishing grounds, and delivering new trade deals with the rest of the world.

    But never mind, the Labour Party will ensure that we’re back in the single market if they have their way and we'll be having Brussels dictate what we can and can’t do once again. And they won't solve any of the other issues either.

    They seem even more hell bent on the crazy charge to get to Net Zero than the Tories are. They've also said they will stop North Sea oil exploration and we'll have the blot on the landscape of onshore wind farms.

    With all the virtue signalling, no one is looking after the citizens best interests, which with rising interest rates and stubborn inflation, would be to reopen coal mines, fire up the power stations and produce our own lower cost electricity to at least reduce utility bills.

    I'm sure that we all want a cleaner environment and better air quality, but priorities need to be changed imho to meet the challenges of right here and now, and not be bowing to what Greta Thunberg thinks is right.

    The core need here is to take everything from 1st March 2020 until 1st March 2023 [ arbitary ] and analyse every thing tghat has happened and why they happened.
    You can readily deduct 1 year from expected time as it was covid, maybe another year for readjusting to affects of Covid [ dont mean all the ****e about Inquiry subject matter ]
    There is a wealth of analysis in the media regarding inflation drivers etc by highly respected professors and analysis experts all are unbiased and results tend to follow a pattern of who why and what are responsible!

    Brexit failed ?

    The government, civil service, the Lords and judiciary have failed democracy.

    Don't forget the Police, the NHS, Barristers, Rail workers, Junior Doctors, Teachers, Ambulance workers etc. All have failed the public and the country.

    R&W - you must want something to do.
    The only deception was believing we live in a democracy.

    I AM doing something - I’m at an outdoor concert in the Old Town Gardens - feeling quite mellow and chilled after a few beers <cheers>
    I am very interested in the Brexit ‘debacle’ as I have a vested interest in being able to live in Spain.
    Until 2016 it would have been a piece of cake.

    People voted for Brexit

    What they’ve been given instead is Net Zero

    Brexit was not a 1 or 2/3 year thing it was based on 10 years to to readjust .. patience is needed, thats why the .gov does not fully explain what why when !
    its like planting seeds you have to wait for them to produce ?
    One for Ashton ....lol ... I planted some turnips Monday [ watered once when sown ] they were showing through Thursday! I also planted some [ sowed ] less than 2 weeks ago, and watered when sown, then every other day and they came up on Tuesday? MY THEORY IS rain is carbonic acid so did the showers of Monday Tuesday have an affect? I am going to put charcoal in my water butts...... lol
