As I scribble high above me, at around 17000 feet a large aircraft heads towards China. The many passengers have avoided delays by eco warriors (it now appears), passed through security checks, customs, many uniformed rude staff and now settle down gladly for the long trip across the world to the cheery despot now playing Emperor in Peking, sorry Beijing. Another at similar height heads gracefully, I hope, towards Poland. This reflects the air traffic above us as aircraft head for or leave Stansted airport or Luton just a wee bit down the road. Those leaving Heathrow after mush airport stress pass over also. At 35,000 feet we can occasionally note travellers from China, Canada, or further away above us as they seek a landing somewhere in Europe, Paris or Berlin perhaps. This explains why our skies are filled with vapour trails daily, bright and clear against the blue above but unhealthy to eco warriors of various types.
I wonder how many MP's are up there heading of to exotic (paid for) holidays? I wonder also who is paying for them and what questions will they ask during the next parliament, if we have another one in this Tory rich kid dictatorship. Hmmm... maybe going to China would not be so bad after all?
Possibly Michael Gove and that Raab fellow will be aboard the plane looking for ideas?
The 'Daily Mail' which can be trusted (note the sarcasm) has named two people as responsible for the drone attack without actually blaming them. There is something about 'guilty until proved innocent' that does not appear to matter to the hacks, I wonder why? Of course if this couple are indeed the people who have delayed 140,000 souls from flying off they deserve ten years no matter the cause. Better that than being dragged into the airport concourse and greeted by those you have delayed I suspect.
Another Saturday, another pre Christmas show in the town. Here an all male choir (are these allowed by screaming feminists?) entertained, although when I suggested to the security guard that he joined in he refused steadily. Possibly he did not know the words of 'Little Donkey?'
I did not join in either having fruit and veg to collect...

Was the security guard protecting the carol singers?
I have just come across a note on another blog about the violence associated with Victorian carol singers and their victims...I think the blog is called News from the Past but as it came up on a link from another blog I can no longer be sure.
No carols here, but the town cntre shops are awash with the things....
Fly, The security was there to protect the crowd from carol singers.
I found this https://newsfromthepast.blog/author/newsfromthepastblog/
