model and he has come out and said i am an olympic champion and am openly homosexual and this is who i am and thatis homosexual and this is who i am and that is a really inspiring message and i think that will resonate for many of people or in the country as well. he many of people or in the country as well. . . many of people or in the country as well. . , . ,., many of people or in the country as well. ., ., ,., _ well. he was also saying in that extended interview _ well. he was also saying in that extended interview that - well. he was also saying in that extended interview that this - well. he was also saying in that l extended interview that this was well. he was also saying in that - extended interview that this was the first olympics where so many other people were of a similar sexuality and it was openly discussed. it is strange for people perhaps our age who have just seen that change in what 25 or 30 years but none of this really would have been discussed openly. really would have been discussed oenl . ., . , really would have been discussed oenl. ., . , ~' . really would have been discussed oenl. ., ., , ,, openly. totally. i think is a wonderful— openly. totally. i think is a wonderful progression - openly. totally. i think is a wonderful progression in i openly. totally. i think is a i wonderful progression in our society. _ wonderful progression in our society, and i wholeheartedly applaud — society, and i wholeheartedly applaud it. ithought society, and i wholeheartedly applaud it. i thought his speech was pitiful— applaud it. i thought his speech was pitiful and _ applaud it. i thought his speech was pitiful and powerful and i'm sure will he _ pitiful and powerful and i'm sure will be used in years to come as an exampte _ will be used in years to come as an exampte of— will be used in years to come as an example of how to give an eloquent political— example of how to give an eloquent political speech which is still infused _ political speech which is still infused with emotion. what i think was particularly telling was he gave at the _ was particularly telling was he gave at the press conference in between

a country because i think we have been to this pandemic for so many months that is and as we think we are over something, something else comes from the corner so i think we are right to be looking at the statistics and not drawing any conclusions. {lit statistics and not drawing any conclusions.— conclusions. of course with conditions _ conclusions. of course with conditions perfect - conclusions. of course with conditions perfect for - conclusions. of course with - conditions perfect for combating this because the higher temperatures and everything else, schools breaking up, if not, when in terms of easing the lock down in terms of trying to get the county back up and running? trying to get the county back up and runnina ? ~ ., ,., ~ running? without sounding like ee ore, a running? without sounding like eeyore, a rather— running? without sounding like eeyore, a rather large - running? without sounding like| eeyore, a rather large journalist surrounded by clouds the whole time, what i _ surrounded by clouds the whole time, what i would say is that we do want to strike _ what i would say is that we do want to strike a — what i would say is that we do want to strike a note of caution here in that we _ to strike a note of caution here in that we have not seen the true effects — that we have not seen the true effects of— that we have not seen the true effects of the dreadful phrase freedom date yet. it takes two weeks for any— freedom date yet. it takes two weeks for any infections to show up in the stats. _ for any infections to show up in the stats. and — for any infections to show up in the stats, and we have not had that long since _ stats, and we have not had that long since the _ stats, and we have not had that long since the grand unlocking in england certainly _ since the grand unlocking in england certainly. and so i think i agree we must _ certainly. and so i think i agree we must he _ certainly. and so i think i agree we must be very cautious about this because —
