    The next issue's a doozy. D ALMOST said a word in cross-examination, P asked 'were you going to say bullshit?', D said 'I don't swear', and then he left the witness box, tripped and supposedly said 'shit!', and P was all 'liar!' Actually, P waited 18 days to say that last bit.

    I live right next to a newly locked-down suburb in Melbourne. I have canceled all plans for my 50th birthday. I’ll lock down again if asked. Why? Cos when I left London in March, the UK had 140 deaths. They now have over 40,000. I’d rather be safe.
