I didn't bother to watch the historical sight of Boris attending a press conference, even one in which I am told all the questions were pre-prepared. It was however no surprise to see on Twitter the news that Boris backed his man Dominic Cummings. The anger that has resulted will be treated with contempt by Cummings and his paymasters behind the scenes. We must ask who is paying who here. The Koch Brothers? US hedge funds? Who pays Matthew Elliott and his crowd? Who is buying all the data Dominic is selling to the USA? Why do the media keep quiet?
What more is to come out of this corrupt government?
Unusually quiet around here these days. Most folks outside of government advisor's have been following the rules, only occasionally someone will be caught trading drugs in the park or like here be chatted up by a policewoman with paperwork. No idea what was going on, he was sitting on our step when they arrived. I was woken from my siesta by the van door slamming, this causes me to reach for the window in case it is a parcel for one of us. There was even one delivered today! However, this was just a drunk I think, someone must have called for the police, or possibly he has been annoying folks in town. As always no more has been heard. Possibly they drove him to the border and dumped him on Suffolk, always a good idea!
Looking through the old pics I came across this one. I always liked this, but it may be a while before I take it again. The strong winds the past few days have put cyclists off, not many pass by, and while the old railway line is quite sheltered the wind would be against you going up hill. Not a pleasant time. Great coming home however.

I know how he feels about London prices!
Cummings was never in favour of lockdown so no surprise that he ignored it!
I think it works like this...Cummings is pro Brexit - for whatever reason. And he is sceptical about the value for money of top civil servants.
The top civil servants are anti Brexit and don't care to have their dirty linen examined.
Murdoch is anti Johnson because he didn't have the BBC handed him on a plate.
Tory M.P.s - even after the purge - are fickle folk.
Cummings' poke in the eye at people who have suffered hardship through obeying the government guidance comes at a good time for the above forces to topple Johnson...vote of confidence, perhaps?
Then in comes a national government with that waxwork dummy Starmer in high office, in comes an expensive extension to Brexit, and the civil servants breathe again.
It very often the case of one rule for them and a different rule for us. Unfortunately it happens almost everywhere and I remember seeing it happen in the workplace. It will be interesting to see what the outcome will be.
Fly, After today I reckon the Durham police must call him in and charge him on several accounts. He may get jailed that way.
Dave, One rule indeed, "Never explain, never apologise," said Disraeli.
