Unicorn

This Unicorn is one of the many Royal Crown Derby paperweights I was packing up the other day. When I was editing the photo today the song below from my childhood was running through my brain.

A day of emptying the contents from 3 rooms (bar large furniture) ready for the carpets to be done tomorrow, then after a quick dinner it was our photo project group meeting on Zoom.

Day 255 / Day 21 of Lockdown 2 (for my record only)
UK deaths up 696 to 56,533 (revised basis), with 18,213 new cases, 16,570 patients in hospital and 1,489 on ventilation. Deaths are still rising and the number is at odds with statements that you're half as likely to die now due to treatments than you were in the first wave. I caught a bit of an item on R4 news about a variant of the virus since Spring being more infectious and significantly more likely to get into cells. Globally cases to date passed 60m last night, passing 13m in the US today. HMRC has received £849m in claims from Eat out to Help Out from over 50,000 restaurants - to me this was a waste of money and gave out the wrong message. Inadequate PPE stockpiles and price rises cost taxpayers £10bn per the NAO. The Chancellor in his Spending Review said that 'the economic emergency has only just begun'. Borrowing is forecast to be a mind blowing £394bn this year which is 19% of GDP, the highest ever amount in peace time. The OBR also forecast a contraction in the UK economy this year of 11.3%, the largest fall in output for over 300 years. To date the only savings announced are a cut in foreign aid and a pay freeze for public sector workers outside of the NHS (bar a min £250 pay rise if earning below the median wage of £24k). In fact, he said there'd be £100bn of capital spending next year. So watch this space for significant tax rises next Spring!
