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

Peter Lilley, Edward Leigh, same old same old right wing dinosaurs. -
Surely if it were part of a co-ordinated plan every jail and every lottery would be doing it globally? The fact that it’s just random ideas in random places proves the opposite of what you want

Millionaires worry about paying poor people to much
buctootim replied to Mystic Force's topic in The Lounge
Semantics. The UK minimum wage raised wages (who knew?) and it didn't cause inflation - contrary to the point you made. -

Thats pretty odd since the post you responded too was all about minimum wages being raised. -

That was trotted out by rich people and stock holders when Blair proposed a minimum wage back in the last century. It didn't happen. The minimum wage is still rising. It still doesnt happen -
I worked for Brighton Health Authority yonks ago and was involved in emergency planning. We had contingencies for 1, 5, 20 and 50% of the population becoming incapacitated or killed. Its just normal practice. The only thing which has changed is the advent of clickbait journalism - which you seem to love.

Are you insinuating prosthetic arms are poorly designed?

There isnt scaremongering over all of them. On average viruses replicate every 24 hours give or take and mutate about once every 10,000 generations. So if your'e infected with 100,000 virus particles you're creating 10 mutations a day. So there are billions of mutations but only a few are flagged up for concern and closer examination. There is a reason that India was only lightly affected in the first outbreak and hard hit in the second.

It was in his head. Gotta manufacture that outrage somehow

Just plain extortionate as opposed to ludicrous Interestingly I saw a couple of days ago a billionaire businessman is planning to build 11,000 homes for permanent rent in Scotland . He reckons he can build a 1,500 square foot 4 bed house to a high standard and still cover costs at £700 pm.
-
Exactly. In 1997 I thought about buying a big 1 bed flat in Dover street Mayfair for £81,000 when I was earning £34,000, so about 2.5 times income. Now £34,000 income inflation adjusted is about £63,000pa and that exact same flat is on the market for £1.9 million, about 30 times income

You can have international travel by vaccinated Brits and still be tight on quarantining non vaccinated international arrivals from other countries.

Eisner in tribute to Catlin said that he had returned a profit every year he had been CEO. Would suggest that 1. They aren't paying huge wages and 2. Eisner isn't putting any money in.

You'd need an awful lot of unlikely mutations to occur at the same time for it to get really nasty - for example it becomes very transmissable, has a long period where the infected person is viraemic but has no symptoms (therefore takes no action to prevent infection of others) and then suddenly causes some kind of major illness which quickly causes death. So yes very highly unlikely but not impossible. Much much less likely than it simply becoming a mild illness
-
It'll be like the annual flu vaccination. Every year there is an updated vaccine which is designed to tackle the most prevalent or dangerous strains. Agree in principle though - the less virus you have circulating means less chance of really nasty mutations occurring.
-
Have you considered the vague possibility that only a small minority like you take it seriously and most people just dismiss it as clickbait?

There were TWO worlds wars? 🤯

Nope, another erm, inaccuracy. Both bullets hit him from almost directly behind and above. That is shown by the autopsy photographs. Your claim is backed by nothing.
-
Doh. Bullets change trajectory just from passing through human flesh, let alone hitting bone or car seat frames. Conspiracists rarely talk about General Walker who Oswald tried to assassinate for being an anti communist right winger only the week before shooting Kennedy. The only position which linked Walker and JFK was a hard line on Cuba and Oswald was part of a pro Castro and Cuba group. The reason conspiros never mention Walker is because it undermines most of the whacko theories. Oswald most likely acted alone but if it were an organised assassination Cuba was probably behind it. 50 years of hardline sanctions probably answers that question.
-
Yes. Hitting a target twice from three shots when only 50-80m away with a military issue rifle equipped with a telescopic sight is not a big deal. The weird thing is why you would think there were two shooters - much harder to co-ordinate and cover-up
-
Nope. It makes the case against domination of the majority by the minority.
-
Yep, they are why I qualified the statement. Theirs is even more unfit for purpose than ours!
