Macron is no ‘lefty’, unless you’re Marine le Pen. Merkel even less so.

Can’t really blame Macron for blocking exports. It was the Italians, with the backing of the EU Commission. Australia feigning nonchalance; they are currently building an AZ plant in Oz.

Perhaps we should. Prize moment yesterday was Kenneth Olisa, current, and first black, Lord Lieutenant of Greater London, challenged by Evan Davis to find ‘a benign explanation’ for the questions on skin colour, coming up with a tale about his white mother-in-law asking what colour wool to buy for his imminent baby. So there you have it — and of course, the queen’s personal representative has no vested interest to worry about.
I’d taken a holiday from republicanism but I think that may be over. This might also be an occasion to look in on the fleeces, to see what they make of it all.

Well they have blotted their copy book --. If they are not using all the AZ stuff let someone have it who wants to use it. Macron and Merkle have been found out as jingoistic nationalists making Boris look statesmanlike.. And that is pretty hard even as a supporter.. If Trump did what Macron did there would be worldwide outcry; but because he's French and a lefty no one says anything. Is MAcron still a lefty? Was in the PS but left to tread a more centrist path, Gaullist perhaps. |

Mrs A just back from being jabbed. She said she'd been prioritised by the GP because of being on regular medication and having had treatment for certain conditions, in her case presumably the cancer. For other 50+ on their register, we should get our invitation within 2-3 weeks, but she was told I could book at the local mass vaccination centre. I looked online, and they're only accepting bookings from over 55s at the moment, so I'll keep any eye on that.

I see they've changed it to 55+ now. Last Saturday it was 56+ and therefore didn't include all in the group (8).

I’m estimating October for my jab. Gives me enough time to see if you lot develop any weird side effects I s’pose..!

Well my wife has had some mild side effects from the AZ vaccine. Some shivers in the night, aching a bit and feeling a bit under the weather. Also tired.
I hear this is more likely with AZ vs the Pfizer one.

That’s typical of any vaccine, though. My Pfizer one gave me a slightly feverish feeling (but no elevated temperature) for a few hours, and a sore arm for a few more, but it was all back to normal within two days.

My symptoms were similar to both Rob's wife and Dubya. No shivering though; more tiredness, achy and a sore arm.
