The need for an permanent British naval presence in the Indo-Pacific

Limiting the ability of an empowered and emboldened CCP to rewrite the existing maritime order to better suit its own interests will be the greatest challenge to British foreign policy for decades. It will take a great deal of concerted effort over a long period of time to effectively safeguard British interests against the actionsContinue reading “The need for an permanent British naval presence in the Indo-Pacific”

Let’s redefine the town centre and revitalise our nation

So, we have a problem: shops are closing down at record rates during the pandemic. When we can return to our high streets, more shops than ever before will be boarded up. This seems to be very bad for employment, our economy, and what passes for community in Britain’s 21st Century towns and cities. ButContinue reading “Let’s redefine the town centre and revitalise our nation”

Create an app that enables charities and government organisations to capture data from everyone

There are four critical steps to capitalise on this opportunity: 1. Make it easy to opt in and report – The user experience of the app will be critical. Regular self-reporting should be completely flexible with as many questions available as the individual wants to answer. The questions will change frequently so simplicity is veryContinue reading “Create an app that enables charities and government organisations to capture data from everyone”

Be transparent, logical and bold

I will cover this as a specific COVID example and then in a more generic policy manner. At the outset of the COVID pandemic there was significant concern that there would be significant mortality in all ages groups, including those without underlying health conditions. Comparisons were made to the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic and thereContinue reading “Be transparent, logical and bold”

Tidying up the Garden of England

The pandemic has highlighted our need and reliance on the transport of goods around the country. A large proportion of that transport is on HGVs, and a lot of those HGVs travel through Kent. Those HGVs have to stop, and it is where they stop and overnight that the problems arise. Litter, litter and moreContinue reading “Tidying up the Garden of England”

What kind of world we would like to live in after Covid 19?

It would be a grave mistake to believe that the effects of Covid 19 could be analysed in isolation. Life in Britain would be affected not only by this single factor but by three factors which are: the consequences of the pandemic, Brexit and the misguided belief that populism is a true manifestation of democracy.Continue reading “What kind of world we would like to live in after Covid 19?”

Change Champions (Support for staff after COVID-19)

As discussed above, as the risk of the pandemic is controlled, organisations will face a challenge: there will be a continued need to provide support around remote working; however, the provision of this support will become more challenging because teams and staff will use this new way of working differently. The solution to this problemContinue reading “Change Champions (Support for staff after COVID-19)”

Provide a brief health check for all via the COVID-19 immunisation programme

EVERYONE in Britain will be invited to have the vaccine injection, plus a 2nd one some time in the future. I suggest that everyone should be invited to fill out a brief, tick-box style health check before immunisation, preferably online. Those who do not, or cannot, fill in the form online will be able toContinue reading “Provide a brief health check for all via the COVID-19 immunisation programme”
