Has anyone’s life gone back to normal? Everyone was hyping up ‘freedom day’ but nothing’s really changed. The BBC are giving cummings a lot of air time for his expose on the government. Amazing that he thinks that we don’t all know that Boris is a d**k head…

Here’s my critical analysis. The Italians didn’t play any better than England in that match but they have been better overall. Now let’s look out the fall out.

This is bittersweet for me.
