    Aviation industry and Covid-19

    Dubai or Doha arent any different from Heathrow or Gatwick in scale (some pedant can look up the annual passenger numbers to disprove that out of boredon but my point they are all major international hubs - except Gatwick!). Emirates has been testing in Dubai but Doha isnt doing any - however...

    Aviation industry and Covid-19

    think there is some confusion over banning flights - its more about banning ticket sales for flights unlikely to operate - you can still access fares and tickets through GDS's for countless flights worldwide that are destined never to take off as it stands currently - I think this is more the...

    Boris in hospital

    Thats gonna mean people paying more tax in a massively depressed economy and millions unemployed. Not just bogeyman corporates or ‘the rich’ but most people. Not saying it can’t be done but like post world war 2 it needs consensus. Our economy is in bits.

    Boris in hospital

    That’s the problem. It’s not gonna dawn on people for a long time what’s happened here. We will be lucky to afford any public services in the forms we currently know after this.

    Got to be. You can eat better in the food court of an HDB block in the middle of nowhere in Singapore for $7.50 sing than anywhere Asian in the west end.

    [Travel] Your favourite country in the world and why

    I really wouldn’t consider the Netherlands a sophisticated and outward looking version of England, I would say the opposite. Culturally similar in many ways but the directness, and their pride in that, is utterly at odds with English fudging of meaning and consensus in discussion. A big big...

    The official Corona virus C**T list

    The airlines u turn on refunds is understandable for self preservation but has shattered trust with its buyers. Some will never work again with some of their big clients after this.

    How do you think Boris has handled it so far ?

    People will realise zoom is a ****ing nightmare for trying to do business more like. Cant see the current situation of people shelving business trips to sit up in the middle of the night with the kids asleep to try and do a sales pitch to Singapore in the dark and quietly as being preferable to...

    Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock test positive for Covid-19

    It’s like being at an exhausting press conference. See how pervasive this willful obtuseness is in discourse nowadays. My point is they have taken action seemingly without caving into the more extreme demands of the online electorate. I can’t make it any clearer than that. Are you saying the...

    Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock test positive for Covid-19

    IF anyone has been had, its the British public by their media outlets, leaving people like Johnson to pick up the pieces. Everyone in Britain who went into toddler meltdown over this needs to be eternally grateful to these people who despite the online mobs and lunatic news outlets, tried to...

    Fascinating story from The Spectator

    We don’t have free education it’s funded from taxes that we pay. This couldn’t be simpler. It’s cheaper for some than others but it’s never been free. Same with all this money everyone’s getting back it’s yours. The NHS is underfunded. We underfund it as taxpayers. Now we have gone broke...
