"Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries. He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support."https://t.co/z7kdbXOmLZ
"We know how tough you are, we've seen it a hundred times." Tributes and prayers from fellow athletes and celebrities are pouring in for Tiger Woods, who was seriously injured in a crash on Tuesday morning in California. https://t.co/6nj65kO0I9

Unlikely that World War III will get as much coverage on @CNN & @MSNBC as Tiger Woods's car wreck.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS A THREAT, SAYS JOHNSON
"It is absolutely clear that #climatechange is a threat to our collective security and the security of our nations," #British Prime Minister #BorisJohnson told a virtual meeting of the UN Security Council, urging fellow leaders to take immediate action https://t.co/N2aafj0vTx pic.twitter.com/RB3nmJVpUt

Genuine question. When @BorisJohnson addresses a global audience, what do they make of his peculiarly English English?
— Peter Foster (@pmdfoster) February 23, 2021
Today he addressed the UN on climate change and spoke (ironically) of "tree-hugging tofu munchers".
What do the delegates make of that? And the translators? pic.twitter.com/G9JQPhYZYo
#Climate emergency is greatest threat to our security, so fact that Security Council is debating it is welcome

But PM would have more credibility if his own house was in order eg with policies to deliver our own targets, scrap plans for new coal mine etc https://t.co/d3niQL55iG
For the true believers, a good Brexit is one that keeps the grievance alive; makes foreigners the scapegoat for bad government; continues to indulge the national myths of victimhood & heroic defiance. For that, Johnson’s pointless Brexit is perfect. https://t.co/GicApKG8kP

It only places it in jeopardy if people decide to place it in jeopardy. Who would want to do that?

Put another way, that would be like me saying Brexit places it in jeopardy. I doubt you’d accept that. But it’s the logic of what you’ve just said.

You have to hold your head and say what politician in their right mind would say this to people who might be able to bring jobs and investment here.
