The flying of the Union flag should be compulsory for all schools. If any pupils and teachers have concerns about this then surely they can be “educated” about what the flag actually represents. 🇬🇧 belongs to every single British person.

Just to highlight the sheer insanity of this: The govt’s “NHS” Covid app only wants to know about Serco/private testing. If you had a test in an NHS or PHE lab, you literally cannot enter the result on the app. @MattHancock how can you possibly justify this?

So in other news.... the Kent Access Permit implemented from 1st January 2021 is reliant on the Smart Freight Software system that hasnt been written yet and isn't expected to be ready until at least April 2021. Nope. Still not making this up, its actual UK Gvmnt announcements.

Got to be the worst politicians Zoom bookshelves ever. Except what's that in the top, right hand corner, "The Twits". School librarian has a sense of humour.

The trillion dollar question. Why are COVID cases increasing while deaths are decreasing? The answer is simple. It's called Simpson's paradox and it's the result of incorrectly pooling data and arriving at a false conclusion. A thread 1/9 #COVID19 #ThursdayThoughts

So we can’t use Acton Magistrates’ Court to help clear the backlog because it was sold and is now a £1million development. And we can’t use Tower Bridge Magistrates’ Court because it was sold and is now busy being a luxury boutique hotel.
