    By the time any enquiry is completed and has reported we'll be 10 years down the line and have a different government and other concerns.

    I'd guess they're better at fact checking before proceeding and certainly more interested in FACTS and SCIENCE than Bojo.

    It's very easy to criticise Bojo, and he does nothing to make it difficult either, but unfortunately all politicians play fast and loose with facts.  They also use the bits of science which fit their agenda.
    Any sign of the 30 new hospitals?

    I didn't say it was wrong to criticise Bojo, simply pointing out that he's no different to most politicians.

    With an 80 + majority, he pretty much has absolute power and we all know what that does😕

    I rather think that's the other shower's fault and not an indication of greatness on Boris' part, nor in his cohorts.

    Monty Don says in March GW " we know more about  the outer reaches of the universe than we do  about the soil  6 ins below our feet "  That doesn't mean we shouldn't explore space but there are lots of things we still need to know about our home. 
    I do so agree about the trite phrase of  "lessons  will be learned "  one of  my pet hates.

    Did anyone really feel that the expenses scandal resulted in sufficient head rolling? I suspect the only lessons learned there were how not to get caught stealing the next time.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I know it's too soon but the weather is warmer, the sun is out and my secateurs are winking seductively (probably why they have a French name). I think I'll have at the VB. If some of it dies,well there's an awful lot of it anyway. This might dampen the urge a bit.

    Well, it took the edge off a bit and the garden looks much better. I did the toadflax too.

    Yeah me too. I'v just had  at the mop head hydrangea as its full of leaf bud already despite the cold spell we've just had.
