I get the feeling that the statement about covid washing up on the beaches was a precursor to vaccine passports/a threat that holidays will remained banned if our vaccine supply is held up.

Oh yeah and the grapevine has it that there's a bunch more mass centres being planned to open in mid-April - between that and the fact a lot of people will be going back to work, this makes it likely they'll reopen steward volunteering for those hoping to jump the queue. Get registered with https://nhsvolunteerresponders.org.uk/i-want-to-volunteer and register your interest at https://nhsvolunteerresponders.org.uk/nextinline if you fancy it.

(There *is* a way of picking up a volunteer shift and hence a jab without registering but I'm reluctant to post it because I've no idea what the legality of it is)

Before meeting with Christ, his only interested was music. He began winning talent contests from eight years of age onwards and later becoming a recording artist. His record "On The Beach" was voted among the "Top 20 All Time Favourite Dance Records" by Britain's top disc jockeys, beating artists like the Beach Boys and Little Eva.

Unless his name used to be 'Chris Rea' or 'Torsten Stenzel' I can't find anything about this at all.

11 executive CLP members resign after Scottish Labour bans candidate from standing

SCOTTISH Labour are facing questions over their selection process after eleven executive members of a constituency party resigned over a candidate’s removal ahead of this year’s Holyrood election.

Prominent Labour members in Glasgow Kelvin have stepped back from their committee roles following the removal of local activist Hollie Cameron as a candidate — after her selection by local members.

The decision came as a panel from Labour’s Scottish executive committee said they were not satisfied that Ms Cameron would follow the party whip, citing her comments which suggested that she “respects the right” to have a second referendum on independence.

etc

also:

quote:

Suspended Labour members to form ‘shadow’ party to fight ‘purge’

“GHOST” local Labour parties are to be formed by suspended members of the party in a fight against their purge, it was revealed today.

Since Sir Keir Starmer became Labour leader last year, scores of party officers and hundreds of members have been suspended or expelled over motions of support for former leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Unions and members have accused party general secretary David Evans of restricting freedom of speech by suspending officers who have allowed pro-Corbyn motions to be discussed and passed at constituency Labour Party (CLP) meetings.

Suspended members across the country are now forming ghost CLPs to form a “national linked-up shadow Labour Party.”

To be fair, he's not wrong. And now he has to face questions on why he isn't demanding Boris Johnson's resignation, as it's been ruled by a court that Johnson has repeatedly broken the ministerial code.

It's times like this when I wish Corbyn really had been the red menace Stalinist purge machine that his shrieking opponents made him out to be and eviscerated the right of the Labour party instead of being a nice old jam man with some good ideas.

Under Corbyn: 70 articles about how Corbyn is going to do stalinist purges so you're all trots.

Under Starmer: Actually purging the left is good, and I can't think of any historical figures where this was a problem. Also you're all still trots.
