London Update July 2022
Does this sound familiar? Well things could be worse. Following is a report from our 1950′s colleague and now roaming reporter Brian Raffan domiciled and surviving in the UK.
- Predicted Heatwave – 39° to 41° (don’t laugh it could beat the record here – Portugal has been 47°
- COVID Variant BA.4 & BA.5 cases up 30% in a week!
- ‘Sacred cow’ NHS overwhelmed – over 6 million backlog of routine operations e.g. hip replacements (possibly needs a ‘Check-Up’)
- 3-day train driver strikes (arranged by RMT union)
- 400 migrant/asylum/illegal(?) dangerous channel crossings in a day (13-14,000 this year to date)
- Petrol £100 to fill average family car
- International Airport Heathrow overwhelmed (through lack of staff)
- UKRAINE War – Varied European responses ( Putin’s got them by the ‘proverbials’ /OR/ What! No Sunflower oil? )
- PM ‘Boris’ ousted – No fibbin’ here! Don’t change horses in the middle of a stream (Tower of Power – 2009)( I said that … or rather – erh… nicked it)
So – WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? RIGHT !
And … all’s well and God’s still in Heaven
(Jack LONDON said that – People of the Abyss)
