Snow day!

So Jeremy Corbyn has declared that Labour would seek to remain in "a" Customs Union, finally putting some clear blue water between the Brexit policy of the two main political parties. Boris, who has accused him of selling snake oil and deceiving the will of the people (despite doing exactly that on the side of a red bus) is still barking on about the use of technology to avoid a hard Irish border. This morning on Radio 4 he even compared it to the Congestion Charge technology used when passing between Camden and Westminster. Well time is running out for the Government to come clean and reveal exactly what the technological solution would look like exactly. The whole thing is ridiculous. If Corbyn is being truthful then I might well vote for him should there be another General Election. Forcing this path would almost certainly bring down the May government, that's for sure.

Other news this week I had my operation for the catheter insertion. A couple of nights at Guys and now I am back home recuperating.  The NHS is truly an amazing organisation of people. It is the people that make it so special. Operationally I was lying in my bed on the ward, comparing how it could be improved if it took a few patterns from the airline industry: checkin, upgrades, ancillaries, seat/bed map. I could definitely provide a few ideas.

Now I'm not working right now I am spending a lot of time in my flat, staring out of the window. I've stopped my painkillers and am looking at the snowflakes drifting down onto the rooftops across the road. Thursday is supposed to bring a blizzard. Finally, the Daily Express can be proud that their headline has some degree of accuracy.
