You should do, otherwise transparency disappears. Politicians allowing somebody else to pay for their home redecoration, school fees, holidays etc is just as corrupt as a pile of £50 notes in a paper bag.

The Wall Street Journal has been a hardline climate change denying mag for years since Murdoch's Newscorp - who also own Fox News bought it. The company's increasingly right wing drift is the main reason Murdoch's own son James left the company

Anyhow an average of 1 foot is only under a low emissions scenario, which we are currently exceeding. Under a worst case scenario it could be as much as 8 feet.

The rapid tests done in schools, airports etc are convenient and cheap but less accurate, especially when the swab is taken by untrained people. You really need to be forceful, which is uncomfortable, so there are a lot of false negatives but false positives are rare. They are a decent guide in conjunction with knowing if somebody has symptoms or not. The blood tests conducted at a lab are way more accurate.

Tell the truth big boy. The mods didnt see anything wrong with my innocuous post - which they didn't delete, its still there. What they did do was delete your irrational response to it where you called me a vile cunt. And when I called you a self righteous prick in return you went off on one which was comical, and also got deleted. I'm not responding again, but please have another meltdown if you wish

I'm here. All 6'2" of me. Not running and hiding, just not responding to pointless arguments and girly hissy fits.

..and covid. Probably on the stamp duty holiday too.

That's it a nutshell. You aren't bright enough or knowledgeable enough to understand many of the the points made, so you assume they're wrong and that you're right. In reality you're just out of your depth.

I read a couple of years ago that the number of people commuting daily from York to London had increased ten fold in 20 years. From York! about 2 hours 15 on average - plus say 20 minutes from home to station each way and 20 minutes station to office. Five hours 40 commute, every day

Why do you bang on about him being thick? There are only a couple of people here who are wrong time after time after time. You’re one of them. Since everybody apart from you knows that, pointing the finger at others really doesn’t help your situation

Which means everybody who buys after the introduction of the ‘affordability’ scheme had to pay more so is poorer than they would have otherwise been. People in the UK generally will pay the maximum if what they can afford for their housing, largely because the UK’s housing stock is so crap they will stretch themselves to get somewhere half decent. If you make the costs of buying lower then people will just aim a little bit higher, as does everybody else, which causes house price inflation. No one gains apart from the seller. You can even find prices drop back once incentivising schemes end - meaning the people you were trying to help actually end up in negative equity.

Actually, to be pedantic, it's passed from humans to mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are hatched without the parasite. Its the process of sucking blood from humans which infects them. Its only after a human has infected them that they can pass it it to others.

Yes if you are making some people pay the tax and not others. It was a stupid idea anyway because its been shown that all subsidising house purchase does is push up house prices - thereby still costing money but negating any benefit. Its exactly the reason Mortgage Interest Relief at Source was abolished in 1988. How come we keep making the same costly mistakes?

He’s weird. Whatever he thinks I’m on the opposite side 😃

Is that you Chauvin?

Of course. And police are probably more deferential to a black middle aged accountant in a pinstripe suit and old Etonian tie than a white 20 something with dreads and a nose ring. Everybody takes a first instinct judgement based on their experiences. It might explain it but doesn't excuse it. Prejudice is literally prejudging a situation based on what some other person who looked a bit like the guy in front of you did. That isnt even handed fair policing. And yep, some people do think non whites are inferior or sub human. Not many, even in the states but the trouble is that those people are often drawn to the military or police, so the numbers are disproportionately high.

Why would you guess it was predominantly black when only 20% of the population of Minneapolis is black? That is essentially the point FTF was making.

I don't know definitively if there was racial motivation to the Floyd killing. How would you prove it without the neon sign? I do know there was a history of 18 complaints against Chauvin and that he had previously shot people on three separate occasions. All of them black.

What were you hoping for? a " I did it because he was a nigger' neon sign? Why do think the death rate for every age group is so different for black people compared to white - even when socio economic factors like income and education are the same?

Its a combination of four things imo. 1. Being a police officer in the US is viewed lower and paid lower than British police, they also tend to be less educated and trained 2. Its very much a do as I say police force rather than a police service. Greenpeace for example do not use the civil disobedience tactics in the US that they use in many other countries because too many protestors get their heads broken. 3. The prevalence of guns breeds a tendency to overreaction. I had a traffic cop unclip her gun when I went to take my driving licence out from the glovebox as she told me to. 4. Racism Putting the four things together ends up in a lot dead people

I think you'll find that's DAN

Elephants can also tell when humans have been drinking. True story

Murder 2 means he meant to kill him. I doubt it was intentional given he was being filmed and watched for nine minutes. I would’ve have thought manslaughter due to gross negligence but then I didn’t hear what the jury did
