25/04/2016 - Tony Benn on the European Union:

"I can think of no body of men outside the Kremlin who have so much power without a shred of accountability for what they do".

That says it all.

That (conveniently!) ignores the Mandarins of Whitehall
Oh! And Dominic Cummings, of course

Well talk about mixed messages !
We must stay in BUT ,we must go out and get tested if we have symptoms, so spreading the virus .!
We must then stay in,self isolating.
Treatment?
What happens then. .?
Do we close the door and fade away?
It is madness.
In fairness we have not really experienced anything quite like this before , even the  flu  epidemic , our advanced knowledge ,though helpful is not really solving the problem.
I am so sorry for young families.
Viktoria.

Anent Dominic Cummings, he spent some time in Russia learning how to con the gullible big time & to great effect! 

 Tony Benn was nae mug, regards electability, Scotland has not voted Tory since 1955 when they won by half a per-cent. not a shred of accountability indeed!

I've bought a mask. Medical grade, single use, disposable. The Spar shop have had them in stock for a couple of weeks; single adult, single child size, boxes of 10 adult size.  I asked the price of a box - £13.99. I bought 1 mask. It's to wear to a hospital appointment. At that price I won't be going anywhere else for a long time.

They have them on Amazon for cheaper but obviously it's difficult to tell the quality of them when you buy online.  Many other countries provide masks to the vulnerable but I cannot see us doing that, sadly.

Where are The Chartists when we need them?
One man one vote.
Secret ballots .
Universal suffrage ( but only for men in those days!)
Equality in size of  Constituencies.
Abolishment of land ownership for MPs.
YearlyGeneral Elections .
Proportional representation.
Etc.
The last four would be nice!
But, the times will be a’changing !
Things might never be the same again ,part of that will be good part not so good.
The Curate’s egg syndrome.
We will get through one way or another.

Poor old Tony - he's never heard of China then.
