Champions Full Gallop is trying too hard to be Drive to Survive.
It feels a little inauthentic as a result.
It’s a shame. The sport can be so dramatic. So spectacular. So full of intrigue and mystery.
Unlike F1, it doesn’t need to be manufactured.

The ‘tsunami of flu cases’ in hospital beds last week amounts to:
0.0037% of the UK population.

There are 67 MILLION PEOPLE in the UK.
If 5000 people in hospital beds with flu is an issue, we do not have enough hospital beds.
Have we learned nothing from Covid?
Not a single thing?

Every day. Thousands of tourists queue for their archetypal ‘shot with London telephone box’. Could we at least paint the damn things?
Or is that faded look more appropriate for where we are now on the world stage?

A man who told us we could buy English cars during the Brexit campaign.
With total ignorance that Jaguars and Range Roverd contained components from across Europe.
Is of course made a life peer.
For services to what?
Fucking over the UK economy?

Glioblastoma claims Sophie Kinsella at 55. It took an account manager from me in her 40s. It took two good friends - one at 60. One at 62.
3200 people a year are diagnosed. Of whom less than 200 will live for 5 years.
It’s horrific.
Yet my friend’s charity has to fundraise…

What’s great about Lando and the lads from Woking winning is it’s a double British win.
Along with Max coming second - another British win.
Because in reality:
McLaren
Red Bull
And even Mercedes
All British teams. Based in Britain.

Maybe the red cars should move here… 😉

Earlier today my wife was writing copy.
Tonight she’s plucked and cooking a brace of pheasant.
I am never not impressed by my wife.
I am hopelessly talentless by comparison.

Well done Australia on banning social media for under 16s.
Truth is it should all be banned.
The companies know exactly what they’re doing. Targeting dopamine hits, causing feelings of insecurity and worthlessness among the most vulnerable, monetising hate and division.
Scum of the earth.
