Born in 1957. And I think you’re spot on. This was a critical time for vaccines. They are a benevolence of scientific effort. We’re here because of it. Resistance to vaccines (or masks) is a deficit of memory, history, and sense.

The idea that a British PM doesn’t ‘trust’ Parliament is frankly sinister. He may disagree with Parliament. He may be frustrated by Parliament. But not to trust it is a very undemocratic instinct, and certainly unworthy of a PM allegedly committed to ‘sovereignty’.
Whatever the understandable logic of having another go at getting the Brexit legislation through, Parliament doesn't trust the PM, but nor does the PM trust Parliament not to keep trying to find ways to delay if an extension is agreed

And since this deal was clearly done while the UK is still in the EU, I’m not sure I understand the Conservatives point... It rather undermines the theory about leaving doesn’t it???
The car industry you're incompetently driving out of our country is 116 times more important than this deal, and it employs 800,000 people in the UK, not 4,000 in Australia. People are sick of the bullshit.

Bitterly sad news of the great Christopher Plummer. One of the most enduring privileges of my life was to have the great luck to work with him and witness his brilliance on a film set. Ferociously funny, smart, gracious. I learned so much from him. He was a marvel really.
Christopher Plummer won an Oscar for “Beginners” in 2011, after a six-decade career that included Tonys, Emmys and an indelible performance as Captain Von Trapp in “The Sound of Music.”
“What the hell is retirement?” he said in an interview that year.
