Thats more urgent cancer and surgery sessions cancelled for known sick people so that we can try to reduce infections of a disease variant which so far appears to be mild.

It’s a conspiracy to upgrade average human intelligence. It works by spreading a nonsense, full of inconsistencies rumour through infowars about vaccinations being dangerous. The credulous and stupid won’t take it and die. Hey presto Darwinism updated for the Information age

True. Will try and 'get back to the important issues' and talk about covid

Cummings hinting about other parties he knows about - saying Carrie was obsessed by them (presumably better than spending time alone with the fat oaf) .

Johnson press conference at 6pm. Resignation or more bluster and evasion?

Corbyn Abbott were bad and Starmer isnt a lot better than 'okay' - but okay is so so much better than Johnson.

In Sweden the Christmas Goat comes and brings presents for the good kids and abducts the naughty ones. That kind of swift justice is what we need

Which one is going to get mad over some burnt toast and shoot the others?

I've seen new builds that size

According to the Guardian the Isle of Wight is only 380 million square metres and even if everybody only took up only 0.5sq metres you'd only get 10% of the global population in. Apparently you could fit 109 billion people in the Grand Canyon though. Should we vote on who we want to dam the river?

I’ll bite. If you vaccinate c300 million people, many of them in their 80s, how many would you expect to die within three months ? Would the death rate if 300 million unvaccinated if the same profile be higher or lower?

Or China! Lets have a third opium war!

Can’t help thinking that the days of left and right are coming to an end and we’re going back to a mediaeval era of a belief camp against facts and science camp

How? What easier route when you have deliberately left any ID or papers at home? If you cant see the problems associated with letting in large numbers of young single men who wont say where they are from, have demonstrated they are prepared to engage in high risk behaviour, break the law, deal with smugglers then you aren't thinking clearly. All those attributes are exactly what you don't want in selecting potential immigrants who will settle easily in the UK.

Sure you would, and so would I. That doesn't mean that I would expect whichever country I fancy to admit me freely or to not deport me if I enter illegally. Anyhow the idea that these guys are penniless is flawed. It can cost £20,000 to travel to the UK via people smugglers. With £20,000 you could set yourself up in business in Somalia. It is the epitome of an economic migrant

Tbf Whitney has a point. Genuine political refugees tend to be a mix of society - all ages and backgrounds, generally better educated because more often they are the people who get into positions of influence and attract the attention of repressive regimes. They also tend to flee with family and approach embassies or consulates in the country they are in. Economic migrants tend to be young single men. It’s not credible to claim your are a refugee fleeing persecution when you have travelled through five or six safe countries in order to get to the place you have unilaterally decided you want to live in

Basically this. Our only option is to be nice to France and get them to stem the flow for us. Why the fuck we are antagonising them like they are the enemy, God only knows.

On a Sunday? Are you a vicar?

I only found out the other day that the only reason it got the name 'Spanish flu' is that the press in all the countries involved in WW1 were order to not report and suppress news of the flu - in order supposedly to not undermine the war effort. Spanish press were under no such constraints so reported its existence. Thats how it became dubbed Spanish flu - even though it started and was far more prevalent elsewhere.

Odd isn’t it. The source of the story was a routine surveillance report which contained no drama no panic. The media sex it up into a click bait story, then those who click on it wail about scientists manipulating them. Spoiler alert. There will be new covid variants emerging for years if not perpetuity just like new flu virus variants are constantly emerging. That’s what viruses do. If thats too exciting, best focus on something else.

I'm waiting for the next time Hypo claims to be middle of the road and non aligned politically. Its simple, pure coincidence that every utterance here is diehard Alt Right defending the indefensible.

Shame Deutsche Banks went bust otherwise they'd be joining in.

That was the point of ridicule though. Not that the paper wasn't meaningful - but that the anti vaxxer had totally misunderstood what it was saying and instead thought it was somehow proof that vaccines were bad / a hoax.

Both failures were on Pirelli tyres - probably the same tyre brand used by members of Erikssens and Flecks families. Type Pirelli backwards and you get RIP. I'm sharing my original research with you guys so you can comment and that makes it peer reviewed.

Thats one event I'd let him take his rifle to
