I just know I have to stay in, this afternoon, as I’m due my annual gas safety check, this afternoon!

There’s been a bit of talk, recently: after Andy Burnham, the UK’s current PM, announced that Labour were thinking about a second Brexit referendum into their next election manifesto.
Having voted Remain, back in 2016?
I’d welcome the chance to correct something I view as a massive cock-up.
But any options on the ballot would need to be carefully thought out, and not the Leave/Remain options in 2016.
I’m no economist, no expert: but I’m aware that the pound — along with the US dollar, the Euro, and the Japanese Yen, amongst others — is a reserve currency, acceptable in international trade.
Whilst it may not give us much clout?
It gives us some.
So, given those three options?
I’d want to go for the third: re-joining the EU and keeping Sterling.
There’s only so much of Funky Billy Chin I can put up with.
I might just change the record … !

A few days ago, intruders were spotted outside RAF Fairford, in Gloucestershire: in vans containing lots of petrol, rather than the originally reported explosives.
The RAF base is leased out to the US Air Force: and used by the USAF in their current action against Iran.
Understandably, security is heavy in and around the base.
I have questions.
One?
Why were the suspects bailed?
Apparently, this was in what police called an “investigative decision”, one that was “grounded in experience and strategy”.
Hmmm …
OK … but I suspect keeping a group of terrorists off the street would be a good idea, but I’m not wearing the uniform.
Two … ?
Apparently, and according to The Times, one of the five suspects phoned an alert to the police, himself.
Why … ?
I have no idea!
But I’m wondering if the event — stunt? — was either some sort of training exercise: by, I don’t know, MI5, or the SAS.
