HOW did you muddle through the longest weekend in world history? Here's how my other half and I botched the whole flipping thing up over at Feltz Towers. Following excellent advice, we were determined to have a structure, a schedule and stick to it.

WE DON'T usually think of the Queen as the "mother of the nation".

REMEMBER the phrase: "He had a good war"? When we heard it at school it seemed an oxymoron. I recall our history teacher, sensing our confusion, elaborating thus: "For some war was deadly.

IF IT wasn't so serious, it would make you roar with laughter. That we were unable to boot out of the country a "brutal" killer, a "devious" rapist, a child rapist, other sex offenders, and drug and gun dealers due to a faulty mobile phone mast is the stuff of comedy writers.

HE'D BEEN a military hero. Serving with the 1st battalion of the Royal Highland Fusiliers, he'd survived being blown up at least once by the IRA and also served in Iraq.

IT WAS the moment a nation came together to show its appreciation to an unbelievably brave group of people faced with an unenviable challenge.

ON COUNTLESS occasions on this page I've argued forcefully for, and supported journalists in, pursuing the truth with a rigorous and forensic determination. That's what we're put on Earth to do: to sit at the back of the room staring quizzically and sometimes snorting derisively as those in power tell us the truth as they see fit to present it. Our role is straightforward: holding to account those in power, however uncomfortable or ugly the consequences might be.

THE CORONAVIRUS pandemic is forcing the political elite to finally acknowledge what the general public have known for some time; as a nation we have allowed ourselves to become far too dependent on importing essential goods and cheap labour from across the globe. The financial crisis of 2008 exposed as a myth the claim that globalisation would lead to ever greater prosperity for all. The current crisis has made it crystal clear that globalisation, as well as being bad news for our economy, puts lives at risk.

IT IS impossible to watch footage of the VE Day celebrations in 1945 and not be swept up by the sheer joy of it all - people clambering up lampposts, doing the Lambeth Walk and jumping in the fountains in Trafalgar Square.

IN A long lifetime I have never seen our old country in such a comprehensive mess. Health issues apart, our entire economy is being systematically dismantled. The damage being done will take a minimum 10 years to repair and parts of it will never return.

THE GREAT majority of us like it when the things we are being told actually make sense. I certainly do. So when the scary bulletins and instructions pouring out of government do not do that, I experience "red light" syndrome.

AMONG the many foolish vanities to which Mankind subscribes is the belief he can foretell the future. He has been trying since time immemorial. First there were chicken entrails, then animal bones, progressing to the stars, palms, crystal balls, tarot cards and tea leaves. All methods were consistent to 90 per cent - they were all bunkum and remain so. Now overtaking them all is the pseudo-scientist/boffin.

THERE is a fact of life that permits no rebuttal.

THERE is a steadily growing groundswell of opinion in this country that refuses to diminish or be silenced. I hope I may claim to have been a pioneer.

THIS is a story of two businesses and of two very different approaches to our current exigencies.The first concerns my local laundry CleanCall, which devised a means to keep going and contributing to the economy.

I'M QUITE enjoying this lockdown but I know just how blessed I am. I actively like solitude. I have the moors on my doorstep, a large garden, a job which I can do from home, a dependable pension, good health and a keyworker neighbour who can drop off fresh milk, bread and veg.

BY AND large I resist the temptation to roar at my TV screen but a few days ago, I did just that, when the tearful sister of twins who had died from the virus commented that she could not even be with her parents. Why the hell not? I shouted, feeling close to tears myself.
