Breaking US Presidential Election News Just In… Well not exactly news, more me wanting to send my prayers to our dear American friends. We know you’ll do the right thing and re-elect President Trump, he will save the planet unlike Weepy Joe and the democrats (or demoprats as I call them) who will destroy us all and let the superpowers like the Russians, North Koreans and Chinese take over the globe (Don’t get me started on germ warfare, but think where we are currently. I blame Obama and Blair). Sorry rant over… I’ll keep you posted with any news, tittle-tattle or gossip. Christine Batley. Deputy Chief Political Correspondent.

Calming Words From The Mayor About Lockdown Part Two

Hello Beckworth. This is your “wartime” leader speaking. I use the term war because we are battling an invisible enemy, Covid, and we need to kill it once and for all. Last night our beloved leader Boris cautiously announced we should enter another period of lock down as he’s having a few issues with track and trace not working. I wanted to share with you my pearls of wisdom… It seems like only yesterday when, due to lockdown part one, I was ordering my PA to make me ermine trimmed mayoral face-masks… And here we are again. At least we are better prepared this time and can look forward to time relaxing with family watching netflix and posting about our wonderful lives on social media… I say to people, look at the month ahead as a holiday. Enjoy it. Fill it with (housebound) adventures, take up a hobby or learn a new skill (i’m going to start investing in bit coins myself. Now’s the time to be making money). It’s also a chance to reflect, and plan an expensive holiday for next year or what new car to buy… Lockdown is really just a state of mind. As my hero Churchill said, when like me he was leading and inspiring his people, “We will fight them (Covid) on the beaches, in the streets, in the pubs and car parks, on the late running trains and in the discos…” We must not let this pandemic defeat us, or interfere with our daily lives… Anyway, i’m off to get a hair cut followed by a slap up feast at my favourite expensive restaurant (its a big family get together) … Keep safe, keep well, Aashif Ackworth.
