Welcome to Wednesday and shall we look at what's out there to rant about.
In America, on the back of Trump's meltdown on live TV again, today the headlines are all about how Trump's team of lawyers are trying to change the law making the president immune from any prosecution for past of future infractions. Mr Trump has refused to share documents that could shed light on his fortune and the work of his family company. Two congressional committees and New York prosecutors demand the release of his tax returns and other information. Mr Trump's private lawyers argue he enjoys total immunity while in office. A ruling is expected within weeks. Unlike other recent presidents, Mr Trump has refused to release his tax returns and a decision against him could result in his personal financial information becoming public in the campaign season. Experts say the ruling will have far-reaching implications for the ability of Congress to scrutinise the activities of sitting presidents and of prosecutors to investigate them. How can a person even be allowed to lead a country without oversight to make sure they are suitable for the position, it just dumbfounds me that a country or any country can allow a person to govern it without first doing it's due diligence. If this law is passed it will mean every president from now could be a dictator without been controlled by the rule of law.
So what's been happening in dear old Blighty. Today is the first day of the lockdown being eased, so what can we do today that we couldn't do yesterday? Two people from different households in England can meet in outdoor settings, such as parks, as long as they stay more than 2m (6ft) apart. The government has said it will impose higher fines for people who break social distancing rules. No Change except the government has found another way to tax people. The rules have also been relaxed so people in England can now spend more time outdoors "for leisure purposes". That includes sunbathing. There is no limit to the amount of exercise allowed. Activities such as golf, angling and tennis are permitted, but only alone, with members of your household or with one other person from another household. If you do exercise with someone you don't live with, remember social distancing rules still apply. Playgrounds and outdoor gyms, where there is a higher risk of close contact and touching surfaces, remain shut. Households are also able to drive to other destinations in England - such as parks and beaches. But they should not travel to Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, where people are still being told to avoid any travel which is not essential. All I can take from this rule is that as a family you can socially distance together outside more, but as a single person I am still outcast which really doesn't bother me as I am a loner anyway, but for other singles out there as far as the government is concerned "TUFF LUCK". Basically nothing has really changed as most people were probably doing most of this anyway.
Rant you tomorrow!
