Excellent @frontlinepbs programme on the US public broadcasting channel @PBS showing this morning on the US response to #Coronavirus. If you missed it and have access to this channel, tune in at 11.40am UK time.

Interesting analysis by @EvanHD on @BBCr4today highlighting VAT as one of the reasons Europe has a higher tax burden than US. Another important factor is payroll taxes like National Insurance - which raises about 7 percent of GDP in the U.K.

Sobering chart: top 25 countries by #Coronavirus death rates per million population - totals since the #pandemic started. Apart from US and Armenia all are in Eastern Europe/Balkans (9), Western Europe (7) and Latin America (7). Any thoughts/observations? https://t.co/5wFS93OUs8

Watching “Fall of Eagles”, a 1970s BBC series about the collapse of autocratic gov’t in Austria/Hungary, Russia and Germany from the mid-19th century and culminating in WW1. Many distinguished actors in the series, including Patrick Stewart playing Lenin! Well worth viewing.

Merry Christmas to all my Twitter followers. Despite all that has happened in 2020, hope you can enjoy the Christmas celebrations and can look forward positively to 2021. Festive greetings!

Next year, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, David Crosby and Chick Corea should be sharing the same celebration. What might it be?

Massive evidence that many people are flouting new restrictions - even when interviewed on TV. There is no hope unless we have stronger enforcement of regulations imposed.

A UK/EU trade deal will be done. Every time Boris says there are massive sticking points, that is the signal for progress to be made. Both sides would be foolish not to conclude a deal now.

Today’s magic number here in Broxbourne, Herts? 556 - number of new #Coronavirus cases per 100,000 in past week. National average is 165. A massive surge in the past 2 months. No explanation from @BroxbourneBC. No local discussion of how we can cut the virus spread. Shocking!

Why is gov’t trying to force schools to remain open when a lot of evidence suggests secondary schools are helping to spread the virus? While new restrictions are being imposed in London, local authorities are being prevented from taking sensible precautionary health measures.
