The United Kingdom and the Death of Boris Johnson as we know it.

Did he use the word 'could'? If so, then the National Lottery should also be accused of lying -

I'll wager that 95% of those on the beach in Bournemouth yesterday and today wouldn't have the faintest idea who Cummings is....

Again, depends how long he has been employed. Less than 2 years the company can do what they want. Who knows, he may have been due to work when he was pissing around with planes. There are a number of reasons a company can use to 'get rid' of someone and they only have to do it properly if the employee has over 2 years service. -

Ssshhhh! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53165938 Not sure I agree with the sentiment here that 'white' criminals are free to roam their respective cities in possession of illegal drugs. There seem to be a number of allegations against the police which will presumably be investigated thoroughly and lead to the appropriate actions being taken... -

Your original quote was people not knowing the origin. The ancient Greeks did not invent a racist saying. Even the article you linked to does not state that it is a racist slogan - it finishes by suggesting that some people may take offence and even defines the proverb as 'innocuous'. Not exactly conclusive proof of racism. -

His employer can claim he is 'bringing the company into disrepute' - however, I suspect a tribunal would look dimly on that (if he is illegible to start procedings) as the police have decided not to prosecute. They would need to put forward a strong argument for 'morality'. I suspect they made the decision in haste before the police decided not to prosecute. Still, if he has less than 2 year's service it won't matter a jot! -

Those damn racist ancient Greeks have a lot to answer for! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_a_spade_a_spade Not sure that people know the origin as you've demonstrated.... -

It'll probably turn out to be a United or Scouse fan trying to wind the Citeh fans (or Sterling) up -
Worth thinking about. The current claim is that only 5% of the UK have been infected with the virus - based on a rough estimate of 60 million, that equates to 3 million infections. Source : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53113785 From the 3 million infections we have 64,533 excess deaths. Source : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-53073046 Therefore 2.15% of infections lead to deaths. Extrapolating that out - worst case scenario everyone gets infected - and we will see around 1.3 million deaths. However, given that 'herd immunity' is expected if 60% of the population get infected, then we should only see 36 million infections and therefore 774,000 deaths - only another 709, 500 to come - in the absence of a credible, working vaccine and program. Not particularly good reading - unless you own several funeral parlours or have shares in them!
