Whitby harbour February 2020
* A recent trip to Whitby allowed me to take yet another set of shots of its harbour walls . Not a new subject for me but then the light is never quite the same whenever you visit. It was very windy on that particular February afternoon and sand was really blowing about
Some of you will be surprised by the following comments. I was very impressed by the press conference held last night by PM Boris Johnson flanked by the UK’s chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, and the governments chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance. Throughout it was serious and I thought level headed . Johnson avoided making any cheap political points and there was not boasting about how well we are doing. You got the sense that it was the scientists who were making the important decisions and they were doing this with rigour and thought . I am no expert on Epidemiology so I clearly have no idea if they are making the right decisions. Vallance and Whitty clarity and thoughtful answers to press questions made me believe that what they are saying is based on sound research and rational thinking not gut instinct . They are also involving behavioural scientists in the planning models. Politicians might like to believe they have all the answers and do not need experts but it is scientists and medical practitioners who will get us through this difficult situation . Hope none of my close friends read this , praising a Tory is a flogging offence
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
