Lord Karan Bilimoria spoke on LBC with Nick Ferrari and insisted Boris Johnson must open the economy on June 21 as scheduled. He argued failing to do this would jeopardise industries like tourism, hospitality and aviation. He insisted the UK is much better prepared than it was a year ago to deal with coronavirus, even with the fears surrounding the Indian variant. Related articles. Lord Bilimoria said: "The key figures are the hospitalisations and the deaths. "Despite this Indian variant, and yes it is worrying that you have got 300,000 in certain areas but it is in under control, we can control this. "We have got to open up the economy at some stage. "This is because jobs and livelihoods are at stake.

"We need clarity about what is going to happen on the 21st of June. "We were hoping to have advanced notice and now we know we are not going to have that advanced notice until one week before the 21st of June."

Synopsis This book includes some of Lend Me Your Ears . In his own inimitable style, Boris Johnson turns his attention to the culture, manners and morals of British society, giving us a humorous, at times furious, but always entertaining read. A witty anthology of pieces comprising Boris Johnson’s thoughts on everything from the presidency of Tony Blair to the idiosyncrasies of modern British culture. Focusing on Diana, the age of self-expression, the end of culture, the moment of the Yuppies, and liberty versus freedom, Johnson takes us on a rollercoaster ride through contemporary Britain. He has also interviewed many of the key figures in the political and cultural worlds over the last sixteen years and addresses what these personalities tell of our age. Boris Johnson’s writings have appeared in a variety of British and American magazines and newspapers. Vigorous, idiosyncratic, always intelligent and informed, with a very interesting perspective on our times, “Have I Got Views For You” is a pleasure to read. Share this: 45 thoughts on “Have I Got Views For You” Don’t ever say I don’t listen to you – you big star. Ooh, want one so much it hurts! Melissa – how about another competition for the loyal readers to win a signed copy? I promise not to let our special relationship interfere with the judging. Melissa, don’t listen to that man. He has a “special relationship” with everyone online, including Tom. I’m glad to see that somebody reads the comments section, doling out generous compliments along the way. I would humbly accept the compliment directed my way, but cannot, as my ego won’t let me. I shall therefore arrogantly accept it; thank you. Now do I get a book? (think donkey in Shrek2) no pick me, pick me! I want a book and I’m broke, and apart from that my son’s lost my wallet so I can’t even go into debt for a book so.. Pick me, ooh pick me! I think the latest thing, if you really want to win, is to buy her a sweater. Pick it out yourself! Ok Jaq – I guarantee you will get one (and Vicus/raincoaster …of course)- now we must make sure you do something to deserve it! Will have a word with Boriswatch star Simon and find a system for giving away a few prizes….. Ooh joy and happiness!! (think roger rabbit leaping into the air flapping his feet) But Simon?? Can’t Boris think up a system for giving prizes? And in this heat too! I suppose kissing/licking him all over like he’s a jubbly is not a good thing? (hmn, think JESSICA rabbit – I’m not really bad, I’m just drawn that way…) so sorry, wrong thread. perhaps the excitement over the book has gone to my head. Hey, I was offered free drinks, I am a writer and therefore can neither afford my own drinks nor resist a comp, and I STILL didn’t go, because it’s too hot. jaq, I’m simply interpreting Melissa’s statement as meaning that we few, we happy few, are guaranteed books and it’s the hoi-polloi who will have to scramble like the human sacrifices on Weakest Link for a crumb of mercy and a paperback. Please, Melissa, don’t shatter my dreams. Boris – still blindly and relentlessly using the word ” British ” when you appear to mean English . So irritating . In case you hadn’t noticed ” British ” is in the process of disapearing – fast . To a large extent already has . The word British should only be used – and carefully – to refer to the joint activities , AS the joint activities , of the countries of the United Kingdom ( ie Wales , Ulster , Scotland and occupied England ) -ie mainly foreign policy and defence therefore . Otherwise use the word English when you refer to us . Not using this designation is becoming increasingly dated and revealing -a marker for those who are desperately trying to pretend that we are still a united British country – including Boris and many who contribute to these threads . I suppose we still are – just about – in military terms but there has been a most definite parting of the ways in just about everything else – with England being consistently and selectively discriminated against on a vast scale by your British state ( note : not a country ) raincoaster – I was indeed hoping that to be the case and took it as such, but the ‘Simon Says’ aspect rattled me. You see, I’ve no doubt Simon would come up with something intellectual and challenging – I can be intellectual and challenging, but not in this heat. The way I’m feeling at the moment (still a bit sore) I’ll be looking for a full moon and a dark night to do anything worthy of note. Sorry, you’re right, it’s the heat. Well anyway, thanks for the reassurance – I can bask in the warm snuggly glow of knowing a book is on it’s way. Pleease Melissa – don’t shatter our dreams. Have I Got Views For You by Boris Johnson.

Praise for `Have I Got Views for You': 'Johnson is a good-humoured, entertaining commentator, with an agreeably optimistic bent.' Observer. Praise for 'The Dream of Rome': 'As an introduction to the history of the Roman empire, this book is hugely stimulating. I read it in two sittings, completely gripped. If Ruth Kelly has an ounce of sense, she will make this book compulsory reading for every 16-year old in the country.' Toby Young, New Statesman.

'Johnson has not been intimidated by dry classics masters: his style is bright, breezy, populist and pacy' The Times.

  • Economic Issues for Class Room Discussion(FNU)
    1 Foreword 2 Preface In addition to teaching and research activities undertaken during my teaching career which began in 1998, I have been writing for the newspa- pers in Fiji for more than a decade. The present volume contains 50 se- lected articles, which appeared in The Fiji Times and The Fiji Sun during the past 14 years. Teachers in schools in Fiji have been using my articles for their tutorials. I was recently approached by some teachers who were also my students in the University of the South Pacific, to publish the selected articles in a single volume which can be readily used by them as teaching material. In response to their wishes, I sought permission from the editors and pub- lishers of both newspapers, for reproducing the articles. They welcomed the idea and readily gave permission. I am grateful to The Fiji Times and The Fiji Sun for their permission. I am also grateful to the Acting Vice Chancellor, Fiji National University, Prof. Ian Rouse, for the Foreword to this edited volume and for all support and encouragement in bringing out the volume as a Fiji National Univer- sity publication.
