Morning all.

Good morning everyone

Just to remind people to go back and look at Sky's contribution last night - hope you are keeping well Sky as this has clearly been a difficult few days but there are some lovely anecdotes about Adrian which are comforting to read. I know it cannot be easy to write about him but they are very nice to read.

Keep well everybody

Its a terrific shame he has made himself so poisonous to so many.

If this shows PM at his best, last night's news about Harry&Meghan reminds us of what he is like at his worst.

If Richard Branson's companies paid tax, and didn't go round suing the NHS, I might have some symp, actually no, sod it, I'd still have absolutely no sympathy for him or his BS.

(cJA edit)

In the UK, NO2 has been at illegal levels in most urban areas for the last decade. A key policy to reduce NO2 levels is the introduction of clean air zones, where charges are imposed to deter the most polluting vehicles from city centres. But the introduction of some CAZs has been postponed because of the coronavirus crisis.

Very interesting

How are Germany on meeting air pollution targets?.....

NO2 air pollution levels in some German municipalities are at illegal levels too.

The latest data from the German environment agency confirmed nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations are exceeding legal limits in nearly 60 German cities.30 Jul 2019

I'm not convinced this improves on the original but it's still a nice thing. It's a lot better than the 'gangnam style' one on the playlist to the right.
