    Formula 1 2020

    Not as good as Max but more competitive and aggressive than Albon and likely to be far closer to him on track. Potential for mishaps as when Max was driving with/against Ricciardo. Perez has a history of being aggressive with teammates and was bullying Stroll on track even before he lost his seat.

    Formula 1 2020

    Going to be interesting. Perez only looking for a seat because Stroll's dad owns the team and has enough money not to worry about putting the best drivers in his cars. Perez good enough to challenge Max and is not a default 2 driver. Hasn't worked well before for Red Bull when they have equal...

    Shaking hands is part of the culture here. Normally every time you meet someone you shake hands - considered rude not to. Even if I say good morning to my neighbour I'm expected to shake hands. Walk into a room with 20 people and you're expected to shake hands with everyone. Haven't shaken a...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Shows how backward thinking they are. Republican party throwing massive sums at those 2 seats but people thinking not voting will be some kind of statement. If you hate Biden so much then make sure you block the Senate. Surely a logical assumption? Not for Republican voters :)

    We're not finding out about Xmas until the 21st (Xmas the 24th here). Hopefully restrictions remain in place. Our per capita death rate 3rd worst in the world for past 2 weeks. Nearly 3 times the UK. Eastern Europe not doing well at all 2nd time around.

    Just shows how flawed his legal challenges and thinking are. It's a conservative SC so it's going to stick to the rule of law and the Constitution. Lateral thinking or "liberal" interpretations are not qualities he was looking for when he appointed them - so that backfired. But this SC will no...

    Stratford cancer unit very good but numbers an issue. Been getting treatment at Warwick but it's an ordeal with all the COVID protocols before each visit. Also COVID protocols affect numbers of patients per day specialists can physically see. Dad is having hormone therapy to hold the cell...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Basic economics the more land you own the more income you receive. It's a flat fee. Same in all the EU countries I've worked with. Rich landowners don't get more per hectare. If they farm the land they get the subsidy. If they rent the land to other farmers they get (in very simple terms)...

    Like so many Republicans who believe Biden is a Communist -God knows how they would have reacted to a Sanders win. There's this consistent theme in UK & US that any movement to the left is far more extreme and destructive than parallel moves to the right. Republican party consistently moving...

    As far as the EU land goes we'll be receiving similar level of subsidies but a restructure is coming again with a refocus on how funds are allocated. There will also be COVID recovery money as well. But obviously with Hungary & Poland blocking the EU budget until this week again the details on a...

    as i said though are our numbers of new infections have halved after about 2 weeks of a curfew starting - seeing the impact over last few days. Deaths still comparatively high though - around 1000 a day in UK population terms. But will be a slight relaxing for Xmas for gatherings in people's...

    Everything bar pharmacies and petrol stations have to close by 7. No congestion in shops people just plan their days differently. Curfew 8pm until 5 am - only exceptions work (inc food delivery) and medical matters. Tbh it's cold enough now that people aren't hanging around anyway. But it's...

    So we have a curfew, France has a curfew, parts of Germany has a curfew. Austria, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Czech, Slovakia similar versions of a curfew. So had badly would UK react to a notion of a curfew or is it so unpalatable that it would never be considered?. Also a bit of context our numbers...

    I'll declare an interest upfront in that I have an varying degrees of ownership in 6 agricultural companies farming around 22.000 hectares across Eastern Europe, North & West Africa and the UK. Production is predominantly arable but also includes livestock, dairy and vegetables. The UK sides of...

    Bit of fatigue but it's hard not to think schools remaining open this time has had a big effect in many European countries. Our numbers in Hungary of infections and deaths are way ahead of the first wave when everything basically shut. This time schools for those under 14 have stayed open...

    Written press was a much bigger animal back then. Would have been difficult to win without them. Blair admitted he was afraid to take them on over their ownership and influence even after he was Prime Minister. Murdoch was even a major factor in getting Clinton elected.

    Probably the last positive thing he'll do for the next 4 years if Republicans hold onto Senate majority

    Current proposed Tory policy will cause large problems for UK agriculture as subsidy schemes will move away from production to environmental. No effective policy in place past 2022 for farmers to actually know what income they might receive UK food prices will rise as imports from less regulated...
