I promised you a shortie and I deliver! Feeling rough, I zip through the big news stories and leave you with a mind-blowing Paranormal Blip after the outro. *Swearing*

The foundation stone upon which this episode is built is my brother Phil's audio detailing a difficult year of dealing with his children's school. We also look at the tragic situation in India, Tory sleaze and Biden's success leading up to his first 100 days in office. In Paranormal Blip after the outro I run down another busy week of UFO/UAP stories and play a snippet of Lue Elizondo's press call.

Sophie Hill's brilliant My Little Crony project is here: https://www.sophie-e-hill.com/post/my-little-crony/

Noel sends a brilliant report from New York, giving us the opportunity to look at the Covid year in the US. I look forward to getting my 2nd vaccine jab on Saturday. Plus, Cameron is up to his neck in a lobbying scandal. In Paranormal Blip three US Senators discuss their UAP/UFO concerns. Also, I'm still fighting back a cold. The backing track Noel uses is Half Mystery by Kevin Macleod: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5026-half-mystery

The foundation stone upon which this episode is built is Catherine's brilliant report from Ireland, looking back on the Covid year. Johnson rewards the dangerously incompetent Jenny Harries by putting her in charge of preventing future outbreaks. Plus flag jingoism and Israel's vaccine success. After the outro music, in Paranormal Blip I praise a brilliant new documentary - buy or rent here: thephenomenonfilm.com - and look at a bumper week of UFO stories in the media. *Swearing*

Happy Anniversary!! The foundation stone upon which this episode is built is Emily's brilliant report from Tokyo. I compare Japan's Covid response to Britain's, talk about how the Covid year has affected me and look at the latest vaccine news. Plus, in Paranormal Blip Porchoice asks a question! *Swearing*

The shocking murder of Sarah Everard has led to women sharing their experiences of abuse by men on social media. I also examine the pitiful response to Meghan and Harry calling the UK media racist. Plus, £37 billion for Test and Trace and Biden signs the Covid Rescue Bill. *Swearing*

I jump into the start of the show for a quick anti-royal rant. Also, Biden announces a hugely ambitious plan and Dolly Parton takes on the cowards. In the UK at least 147,000 people have died of Covid 19, while cases and vaccines are affected by deprivation. In Paranormal Blip I outline a unified theory of all things paranormal! *Swearing*

Biden gives a moving speech to mark a terrible milestone. Alex Salmond accuses Sturgeon's government of obstructing justice. Plus, the decline in UK Covid cases slows and in Paranormal Blip we look at George Knapp, the reporter whose Bob Lazar interviews made Area 51 famous. *Swearing*

** Updated at 35.08 to cover Monday's roadmap, where finally the Sausage announced masks in classrooms (for three weeks!).** We bump into old friends on Dartmoor, a strange coincidence with a tiny mathematical probability; maybe it's the many worlds theory in operation! Plus, Cruz flees frozen Texas, I preview the Sausage's plans to end lockdown and Paranormal Blip looks at the Washington Flap and Robert Bigelow. *Swearing*
