Funny thing about lockdowns - with both last year's and the present one, each has resulted in a reduction in infection rates etc - isn't this evidence that you claim not to have seen?

On another point, one of Scotland's biggest grievances is being forced to leave the EU. Isn't it worth leaving them for a few years, they might find that they thrive after Brexit and decide that life is not so bad after all?

Although the owners of chatlines and similar must keep a check on what goes out but it is beholden on the individual to moderate what they put on there - unfortunately there are too many people just like Trump who think that they are God's gift to mankind and, unfortunately, we have to put up with them as they won't moderate their behavior themselves

In fact most of them have already broken the law by attempting to force illegal entry into the country and France, not wanting them, is ensuring that every stone is left unturned in stopping them and tries to pass them on to us - the French boats are apparently shepparding across to our side of the Channel. France needs to wake up and obey the regulations of the EU and pull its weight in taking care of the would-be immigrants - thank goodness we are getting out of it at the end of the year!
With our unemployment rocketing following Covid we would be crazy to take in everyone trying to cross the Channel!

And now we are starting to find out a marvellous new way of training youngsters for new jobs - it is called 'apprenticeships' with its benefits of hand-on teaching for more practical jobs which do not need vast amounts of theoretical training.
Maybe one benefit of the pandemic is that a lot of universties will be forced to close down and go back to being technical colleges etc. - We can all hope so but don't hold out much chance of it happening - Oh look, is that a pig flying by?

Where will it all end ?
Colston was not held up as being evil when he was alive, and he is noted for being a benefactor of many good deeds. As Whatashambles says, it is better that this should be in a museum where the whole story can be told, not thrown into the harbour!

Is a demonstration in London ever going to induce the USA to change their laws.
Many years ago now, the demonstration in Tianenmen Square and the celebrated incident of the man in front of the tank, had not the slightest effect on the Chinese govenment.
And the people who organise the demonstration never appear to learn what is going to happen. They may have every intention of making it a peaceful domonstration but in the event they invariably get hijacked by the militant few who simply want to stir things up and cause a riot. The result is that the whole action is condemned and the organisers (and their policies) are ignored.

I think the big trouble was he tried to pass it off by saying how he acted legally within the rules etc and the press immediately leapt onto him for breaking his own rules.
If at the start of all this trouble he had said ..... I was left in the situation where I my wife was ill, aparently with Covid, I thought I could well be next and there would be no one left to look after my 4yr son....... The only solution I could see was to drive up to my family in Durham where I knew we could self-isolate... I knew this was taking a risk but I couldn't see any other way out but I took all precautions, driving non-stop, not getting out of the car till we got there to ensure I didn't spread any infection etc etc.......
Then I think that most people would think "there but for the grace of God go I....."
What would anyone else do in those circumstances?
