Hoping it will stay dry this weekend so I can test out the new summer bike now that it is built 😁

Isn't it more accurate to say that social media is more of a problem when it comes to racism than football - given your statement regarding incidents and tolerance at football being low? Granted, football is the catalyst in this instance, however, SM is the conduit that allows the racism to flourish. Edit : just seen your later post with the same conclusion

Nobody has asked the most important question yet. What colour will the vaccine passports be?

Jesus wept! You asked (hopefully you'll remember this bit) : I then wrote a number of sentences outlining what had actually happened and that he didn't, in fact, hand a large contract to one of his mates - at that point I asked how has Hancock acted unlawfully there. I then pointed out that you appear to have confused that with the actual court case which had absolutely nothing to do with him or anyone else handing out contracts, but everything to do with not reporting what was handed out in the prescribed time limit. As Benji has already pointed out, this is NOT criminal law. So far, all the court has done is pass a judgement that a law has not been adhered to, but has acknowledged that the information that was required to be published, has been published, albeit later than it should have been. You may be struggling with the concept of law but unless it is a criminal case even a Managing Director wouldn't end up in court unless someone takes out a civil suit against them - usually this will happen in order for the injured party to receive recompense for the wrong doing. In this case, the 'civil litigation' was started by the Good Law Project. The case has been heard and the judge has stated that the law wasn't followed to the letter, but that he also understood the reason for the delay. That's it, end of case, end of judicial review, slap on the wrist for the Health Department. No-one is going to be hung, drawn and quartered.

Step 3 - apparently allows for 10,000 at Wembley. Even they should be able to muster up 5,000 to fill their allocation

I've never disagreed that the department he is in charge of acted unlawfully. I've disagreed with the accusation you made about how the law was broken, but not that it was. In fact I even said this in my first post :

Ah, I see, so you are combining two seperate events and coming up with your own answers. The Department of Health / Government was judged to have broken the law by failing to publish contract awards within 30 days, not because Matt Hancock 'handed a contract to his mate'. https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-governments-failure-to-publish-covid-contracts-details-was-unlawful-high-court-rules-12222826 Although as the Senior Minister, Matt Hancock will have accountability for that error. Still, why let the truth get in the way of a bit of mud slinging eh? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/26/matt-hancock-former-neighbour-won-covid-test-kit-contract-after-whatsapp-message You have managed to get one thing right though. Hinpack is indeed the subject of an investigation by the MHRA, although it would be way too early to draw any conclusions yet.... https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/matt-hancock-alex-bourne-nhs-covid-probe-test-tubes-b920674.html

I don't think he 'handed the contract to one of his mates'. From what I've read, the person in question sent him a whatsapp, Hancock then pointed him in the direction of the website that every company was freely able to submit their details on. I seem to recall a TV advert asking business owners to do just that. Not sure what the 'no experience' is meant to mean. The guy owns a packaging firm that was making plastic packaging for caterers. They changed their processes and now make plastic medical vials (used in covid testing) and plastic funnels, it doesn't seem like advanced rocketry. How has Hancock acted unlawfully there - or are you getting that mixed up with the fact that his department did not produce the required 'transparency' paperwork within the timescale but were about 2 weeks late, focussing on other things as a priotity during a global pandemic? If it's the latter, then he's banged to rights and should be serving 20 years at least for such an heinous crime!

I wouldn't worry too much. They will only 'all' be back for a couple of days. As soon as a kid in a year group tests positive, they'll send the whole year out for two weeks like they did the last time. Not sure what the reasoning will be this time though. Last time it was to protect the grand parents, but they've all been jabbed now...

Were they not able to ask for better insulation?

Class is not a requirement in order to consider that vulgar

Depends on your definition of 'class'. Dubai is predominantly 'new' money. Those that enjoy Dubai the most want to see the latest gadgets, supercars, yachts etc. To them, that is what they consider to be 'class'.

To be fair, that wasn't the claim. It is being reported by more than one news outlet. Case closed.

haha, you absolute cretin. You never fail to disappoint. First you claim that it was only reported as a 'super' variant in the Mail. Now your claiming he couldn't possibly have read it in either of the papers I linked to - there are more, I just couldn't be arsed to copy and paste! This seems to be very much like your 'principles', ever changing to suit your current whim! You're all over the place, can you make your mind up, which argument you're going with?

That's the spirit, double down! UNFold times TW News

good old timmy, always gets it wrong! Also reported in : AA.com Helsinki Times Daily Sabah Standard ExpressYorkshire Evening Post I could go on, but you get the point (timmy won't).

It's fascinating that we always hear about these new variants when people start demanding an end to lockdown - or previously to convince everyone that the lockdown was needed.

Outrageous

I feel I must throw myself upon the apology altar as it appears that I have also missed out the 'I' community. Hopefully these flags will make up for my temporary lapse.

You've missed out the Q's. There's enough hatred and prejudice in the world without you ostracising the entire Q community!

I just wish the OP had managed to get the thread title right, so disrepectful

Whoosh? Perhaps I should have concluded my post with /sarcasm...

Yeah, me too. I like my principles to be on the flexible side so I can decide whether or not I should bother to follow them. Especially when it comes to price. I mean if something seems a little bit pricey I'm happy to chuck those principles out of the window to save a few quid I consider my principles to be elastic, that way I can sleep soundly at night knowing that sometimes I follow them, sometimes I don't. I've also researched all the companies I will ever deal with to figure out which ones are tax 'avoiders' - wait, hang on a minute, which one is the illegal one again, oh it's so confusing isn't it, maybe timmy will know?

Lol. So if something has absolutely no effect on you, then you shouldn't have an opinion on it? Like who should play in goal or up front? What about children's education, not going to make a single difference to pretty much everyone on here (except teachers), so no-one should have an opinion on it right?
