With one bound Boris was free! That seems to have been the government’s reaction to the Court of Appeal’s decision in relation to Heathrow, at least judging by the Transport Secretary’s somewhat disingenuous statement that as this was a private sector project the government would not be appealing the decision. Given how quickly the statement was made and how long the 2 related judgments were (143 pages) one wonders whether they were even read, let alone considered.

“Chapo Trap House,” which started in 2016, typically runs between 60 and 90 minutes. Two episodes are released every week, one for free and one for the nearly 38,000 people who pay $5 a month through the crowdfunding site Patreon. It leads to a financial windfall for the self-professed socialists who are harnessing this rage: $168,800 a month from those subscribers alone....

Boris is 55 so will be very much an older father to his latest child, Carrie is only 31 though and will be her first child. Trump was even older at 60 when Melania had Barron, so Boris again following The Donald
A global player needs a global transit hub, not one where half the short-haul programme gets binned on a foggy day.
HS2 to an expanding Brum airport.
This review - https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/saturday-review/our-bodies-their-battlefield-by-christina-lamb-review-67j2whw5s - is pretty hard to read. Imagine what the book must be like. And yet a hugely important subject which ought not to be overlooked, as too often it is.

Schipol is the natural hub for the majority of the UK and if connecting at a hub is good enough for those of us away from London then surely it can be for those in London as well.
Quentin Delannoy, urgentiste à l’hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière à Paris, explique que, désormais, certains patients sont renvoyés chez eux sans être testés malgré des symptômes faisant penser au coronavirus.
They are saying that even when they've got the buggers, and the buggers are clearly symptomatic, they haven't the capacity to test them. Not clear whether it's taking the swabs they don't have time for, or enough labs to analyse them, or neither is the case but they don't want to know because they have no strategy other than self-isolation anyway.

Nothing much happened when I turned 18.

This could seriously impact politics given the size of the age gap between parties.
I hope he's right.
Very good public services.
Cannot remember the exact date, but it does not take long for HS2 to reach carbon neutrality.
Construction is emitting 20% less CO2 than predicted
Will be at break even well before 2050, including construction.
You can dislike the construct but still have to play the game.
the fear and chaos a wider outbreak will create is unthinkable....I hope Trump is right
Would be fair to say that Leeds Bradford more or less uses Schipol as a hub already.
Fortunately we have lived through decades of peace and prosperity...but history tells us nothing lasts.....
Obviously I have everything crossed that this is a false alarm....but a pandemic along the lines of a 1917 Spanish Flu with a mortality rate of 1-2%, and 10-20% requiring acute medical interventions will fundamentally change the world....
That is bloody high, psychologically imho.
The 1918 Spanish flu is still etched into our collective memory- it's a 100 years ago- and we all know about it
