It been cold enough overnight for our central heating to fire briefly two mornings on the trot now, and the solar panels have barely fed anything back to the grid in several days.

I see Tony Blair has started banging the drum for ID cards again. Hopefully he'll get ignored on expense grounds alone. He seems to think it'll help with immigration somehow.

New parkrun SB of 20:42, with an AG of 70.69%. Binned off an intervals session for that.

Not taking shots at anything, my understanding is that the only reason for the delay was the election.

Does this mean the football regulator legislation will finally be implemented?

Personally, I don't think so, and actually think the previous administration's plan to phase it out was a positive move. The debate around when people are able to properly be responsible is an interesting one though. Personally, I don't think it is 16.

It'll be interesting to see how the new Government deals with immigration. Legal migration is the easiest to deal with as you can simply reduce the amount that are allowed in, and make the qualification criteria stricter. Illegal immigration into the UK is the thornier problem, despite it only...

Let's see what policies emerge that weren't in the Labour Party manifesto. There was much to support that was revealed in the manifesto, and a few bits and pieces in there that I shall take the time to write to my (new Liberal) MP to clarify that I don't support. Do write to your MP if you...

Does the 'i' count?

I'd imagine they'll just introduce new taxes rather than raise existing ones. As long as they are targeted at stopping the transfer of wealth to the richest in society then I don't think many would have a problem with that.

I agree, and it's pretty stupid that society has ever allowed it to become an issue in the first place.

Having gone through the lowlights of the various party manifesto there is really not much to differentiate between the three traditional main parties, particularly Labour and Conservative - they seem to concur on most things apart from how to tackle illegal immigration and the fate of the...

Of course, you have to wonder what official acts President Biden could now do if he were so minded...

Well, well, well. Our American friends are living in very interesting times indeed!

Unfortunately these culture clashes only occur when the incoming culture doesn't embrace, or is downright hostile to, the existing culture. The concept of multiculturalism does imply a degree of separation between communities within a society, and problems occur when there are not enough...

FFS, what is the point - he'll think he can get away with it again next match.
