The Sky’s the limit: well, it could have been if I had got there. What happened was that I heard that somebody called Sky, only thirteen years old, had won a gold medal for skateboarding in Tokyo. Accordingly, I thought that if she can do it I can have a try at the other end of the age range. Accordingly, I reached to the bottom of my bed and pulled out several wadges of well-masticated chewing gum (stored just as Lonny Donnegan taught me) and smeared it at both ends of the skateboard. I then jumped from my bed, expecting to surge ahead. However I flipped over and am now hanging from the ceiling. Can/will Lord Coe help me?

Whilst I wait, I am reflecting upon The Archbishop of York’s comment that the London elite are looking down upon people in general in Britain. It’s not just that one tends to do that when hanging from the ceiling it is really that one is reacting to truth. It is a few years since I sped through the land in a train but when I last did I pointed out to my neighbour that we were speeding past dims – and this is where it gets poignant – dims breeding dims. One of whom is of course the Archbishop of York.

I can nonetheless watch Nigel Farage on GB News. He is good and, further, I see that he is achieving audiences that exceed the BBC and Sky combined. Britain does not lightly forgive Remainer folk for their patronising stance.

In Saturday’s Daily Mail, John Humphreys, of all allegedly sensible people, pointed out that Alok Sharma, alokated to preparation for the Glasgow Climate Change Conference, should be compulsorily quarantined for attending to HMG’s business in thirty countries on each occasion that he returned to the UK over the last seven months. One wonders what he should have done if we were in a shooting war.

Finally, Capita (LON:CPI) is fixed and on the mend. CPI is surely a screaming buy at 40p. Hurry now…
