Well, we've made it onto the plane to Mallorca. According to the boarding pass given to us by the lady at check-in, I'm going on holiday with 2 kids and a bloke called Adam Wall. Which may come as something of a surprise to my husband. #HisNameIsNotAdamOrWall
Good grief. I've just had to hold up our plane when we spotted TWO of our bags being offloaded because a passenger didn't board - in the name of Adam Wall. The useless check-in lady had checked in TWO of our 4 bags in his name despite being told repeatedly that we weren't him...
Another TWO couples say they'd also been given the wrong boarding cards as well and don't know where their bags are heading. And our third bag has a tag in the name of another man entirely who is sitting near us on the plane but says he didn't check in a bag at all. WTAF?! 😳
I had to insist they reopen the plane door and get the steps back so I could get off to verify the 2 offloaded bags were ours and get them back on the plane. All sorted now (who knows if the 2 other bags get there) but I'm pretty sure a check-in lady is about to lose her job...😬
I think I must have said "None of us is called Adam Wall" at least a hundred times already this morning.

Adam Wall, if you're on Twitter and were supposed to be on a plane to Mallorca this morning, you owe me a very large drink. 😉
Imagine our surprise when all four of our bags actually turned up on the carousel in Mallorca.
And we've found the mystery man Adam Wall @MallorcaAdam. Now we know why he didn't need to use his own luggage allowance...

A message to all those who think that people wanting an end to lockdown is selfish and don't care about their fellow citizens. Please share this thread... 1/
You can clap for carers, put a blue heart in your Twitter bio & a kid's rainbow drawing in your front window all you like, but if you support an extension to this lockdown, YOU ARE SELFISH. 2/
If you think it's right to be "cautious" and wait "just a few more weeks" just to be "safe" because, hey, you're not that bothered about having 7 people in your home or ordering drinks at a pub bar, YOU ARE SELFISH. 3/

Just like they predicted that sending millions of kids back to school would cause Covid cases and deaths to go up after March 8? Uh huh.
Let's have a look at what actuallt happened after the "experts" predicted that millions of children returning to school on 8 March would lead to a surge in cases and deaths...

This first graph shows cases from 1 March. Where's that big surge in cases? 2/
Yes, that first graph shows a slowing down in the fall in cases but (a) plateaus have also happened in other countries without any obvious explanation and (b) look at the boom in tests at the same time. If you test millions of kids every week, you'll find more positive cases. 3/

What an extraordinary exchange on @skynews this afternoon between the presenter and Fatima Ibrahim of Green New Deal UK.
Do you remember agreeing to radically change how you live your life to tackle the "climate crisis"?
I don't. 1/
Sky presenter: "In terms of what we need to do as individuals... everyday things, how we heat our homes, what food we eat, that all needs to change radically as well." 2/
Fatima Ibrahim of Green New Deal UK replies: "That will radically need to change. The opportunity this pandemic has given us is to think about new ways of living... We won't be able to combat the climate crisis if it's one of just choice."

What’s going on @GavinWilliamson @BorisJohnson? You promised pupils would only wear face masks in classrooms for this term before a review over Easter. So why does new guidance say masks will be reviewed AND that they “will continue to be in place AFTER Easter”. Which is it?
Ok, re masks in classroom... a Govt source tells me that they don’t get the data until next week and will do the review then, adding: "I don’t think the wording had changed on the guidance from last time." We shall see...
And now the Govt website on masks in classrooms has been changed in the past hour tonight to say the measures "will continue to be in place UNTIL Easter." 👀

A helpful message for Remoaners and #FBPE folk:

One of the strangest things about our Brexit battles is the willingness of those on your Remoan side (ie. not the vast majority of Remainers who accepted the 2016 democratic vote) to dismiss the views of Brexiteers because...

1/
You claim we are stupid, poorly educated & ignorant of the facts.
Not a day goes by when you Remoaners don't tweet about how stupid & ill-informed I am.
You're entitled to think whatever they want, of course, but I'm not sure it's the winning argument they seem to think it is.
2/
I happen to have 3 grade A A-levels (from non-selective state schools, before you ask), a 2:1 from Oxford University, but I also know plenty of people who left school at 16 who are brilliantly clever and well-informed. Yet you think every Brexiteer is stupid regardless.

It is absolutely terrifying how many people in this country think France has somehow brought these Islamist extremists & their beheadings on themselves by refusing to condemn the Charlie Hebdo magazine cartoons of Mohamed. 1/
If you think people in western democracies should not do anything that might offend Islamist extremists, please answer these questions:

When the Islamist extremists start demanding we execute people who want to leave the religion of Islam, what are you going to do then? 2/
When the Islamist extremists start demanding we imprison gay people, what are you going to do then?

When the Islamist extremists start killing their daughters who want to marry a man of a different or no faith, what are you going to do then? 3/
