About a month ago I saw somebody online claiming they had a private appointment to get the vaccine and it was costing £300. No idea if true

The vaccine will have a measurable effect almosr from day 1, won’t need to wait till summer. An R rate of 1.2 is quite agrressive expansion. Six weeks at 2millioncvacinbations a week would bring the rate down to below 1 with no other measures

Its not just specialist classrooms, its also streaming by ability in different subjects. The kids aren't with the same group of people all day.

I read about 150 pages of the deal and skim read a few hundred more. Got to say it doesn't read like any good commercial contract. A lot (most?) of the detail and specifics is missing. It's more like a half formed principles paper - "this is what we want, not sure how we're going to do that yet, so we both retain the right to punish each other in the meantime if we don't like something". Seems as though the language is deliberately vague so that it can be read different ways for different audiences. Cameron said negotiations would take ten years and they will need all of the five years left and more to resolve all the further can kicking and get a real deal.

The whole reason this disease spread so much. This is like a reading comprehension test for 10 year olds

That’s what I want you to believe. We know what you do... 👀

Turns out it was a local guy who blew up AT&T facility because he believed the 5g 'conspiracy' ffs.

Yep. If we aren't careful in we are going end up with a spike in deaths of younger people because their conditions weren't picked up as promptly as normal

The NHS is of the size necessary to deal with normal health demands. There is very little reserve capacity because it is cash limited service - we don't want to pay for services which wont regularly be used or are too expensive. The new covid related care is at the expense of other patients who have had appointments and screenings cancelled. Given over half of covid deaths are amongst the over 80s, there is an argument that the care of people with fewer remaining years is being prioritised over the rest, on average younger, population. Without advocating euthanasia, it is worth considering at what point you stop fighting for the life of someone and who you are prepared to sacrifice in that fight.

Seems to be

I think the point he is making is that the EU have retained the benefits they got as Britain being a member ie a market for where their products are strong but we have lost access to our biggest market for our biggest earner - services

Weird one. 6am in the morning opposite Hooters, which was closed. Just three injuries

Ah interesting, I'll check it out. People see the bogeyman in many different guises I guess

According to this its less to do with intelligence per se and more linked to specific psychological traits. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00205/full As an aside a high proportion of people with Aspergers seem to believe in conspiracies. Probably related to difficulty in understanding the world and rationalising it. Correlations to belief in NWO, anti globalisation and Brexit imo - but thats a while different story...

The EU has already accused the UK of abusing the data by using it for purposes it was not collected and breaking the agreements it undertook when getting access. I have no ideas of the details of who did what.

Where did I put that GM quote about Trump playing an absolute blinder with his election legal challenge....

Equally rambling tedious answer though too

Yep fair points. The EU has been used for decades as a convenient whipping boy for unpopular decisions by UK politicians - mostly but not exclusively the Tory Party to avoid confronting the divisions in the party. You could create a worthwhile Brexit by substantially improving the lot of working people on low wages. Skills training, halving the cost of housing and raising wages by restricting labour flows. But the Tories would never do that - it would upset too many elderly property owners and people who benefit from low costs staff in pubs, coffee shops and garages. The biggest regret for me is that I feel UK Governments primary interest is companies and they see my role is as a consumer - a wallet to buy stuff. The EU's actions generally made me feel more like a citizen with rights.

Anybody else somewhat disturbed by the fact that a supposedly terrible failed German Defence minister is such a better communicator and inspires more confidence than any of our current PM and ministers, Sunak aside?

Ha I'm sure . My point was actually more about not trusting Johnson to tell me its raining than any view on the deal.

Maybe not for you but for a lot of Brexit voters it was also about economics - a steady flow of Eastern Europeans keeping unskilled labour wages low by increasing supply.

It's 2,000 pages you haven't even seen yet. You have absolutely no basis to make that statement apart from what the No10 spin doctor wanted you to think.

Maybe we should name steaming heaps of of animal by-product the 'West End Argument'
