The vaccine IS the NHS treatment. Refusing one treatment and then demanding another is different to simply being at risk because of an unhealthy lifestyle. It’s a moot point anyway as it’s neither legal nor ethical for the NHS not to treat anybody.

The bizarre mantra of the conspiracy theorist, projecting your own gullibility onto the general population. YOU are the one being spoon fed nonsense, WE are the ones thinking critically. If a politician says something dubious, we all have our doubts. We are sceptical of the effects of the vaccine and even something as simple as wearing a mask drew endless critical discussion. However, if an online blog written by a complete stranger says Bill Gates wants to inject the world’s population with microchip vaccines and control us remotely using 5G towers, you swallow the whole lot. It would be humourous if this bullsh*t wasn’t convincing thousands of idiots not to vaccinate their children. The more this gets plastered around the internet, the more people believe it and the more people have to die as a consequence.

Abysmal marking and closing down from the Blades there. Looked nothing like the hard working, well drilled team of last season.

It’s not relevant, no way this Fulham team are staying up.

He’ll play for England one day, he’s only 24.

Fine by me. Whilst I can certainly see people’s objections to it being compulsory by law, if it’s conditional for wanting to travel and gather publicly, that’s entirely the choice of the individual.

I think if we made it compulsory to be vaccinated in order travel and go to work, most people would probably sell out their anti-vax principles. If it's proven to be safe beyond reasonable doubt, it should be compulsory. What the legal mechanisms for that are I haven't a Scooby.

Assuming it passes the necessary trials, the only thing putting me off is a phobia of needles. If I get a letter from my GP, I’ll probably just man up and deal with it.

Fair enough, I’d just assumed they’d get it eventually.

Hence they’re last, I’d imagine they’ll get it at some point in summer.

My personal priority would be: Key workers and those at risk and under 75 Over 75s Over 60s All other adults Children I can see the argument for BAME but I'm not sure on the morality of it and it'll never happen anyway. It'd cause an absolute stink with the voters; only takes a couple of elderly veterans to pop their clogs whilst 'the foreigners' get the jabs and the Mail/Express brigade will be fuming. I certainly wouldn't prioritise the overweight either. Why should I be a lower priority than someone because they could never be bothered to follow a basic diet and exercise plan? As far as I'm concerned, if you've never cared about heart disease, liver disease, bowel cancer, hypertension, stroke, diabetes or osteoarthritis, don't suddenly pretend you care about Covid.

I’m no good at drawing but perhaps the outline of the spire of St. Mary’s church, with a large may flower at the bottom. Would look a bit less gimmicky.

Weirdly, I was reading a travel review yesterday implying the same thing. I guess I’d always though of it as far away, exotic and cultural but others have said it’s just the Ozzy Benidorm.

Juve has got to be the worst one out there. Someone probably got half a million Euros to come up with a J but with another line next to it.

Looks like a logo in some 8-bit 90s video game.

Tattooed arseholes on bleached opera singers?

Used to be that if you had a big bushy beard and full sleeve tattoos, you were hard as f*ck. These days it means you went to art college. Girls with loads of tats aren’t my thing but to each their own. What I really don’t get are the lips which look like they’ve had an allergic reaction or bee sting.

Homes with high ceilings. I keep hearing/reading people say how wonderfully spacious they are but to me it’s just a waste of space you can’t use. Plus in winter it’s just more air to heat, the warmest of which you don’t feel. 🤷‍♂️

This thread’s getting a bit too abstract for me now, I’m out.

If you wash a toupee over 60 degrees the colour tends to wash out.

So give him diversity training. This goes well beyond anything to do with equality and diversity, it’s a 21st century witch-hunt.

The way I read his comments, these were more observations. Have we reached a stage where simply pointing out imbalances and stereotypes has become frowned upon? How can we address any of these issues if they can't even be referred to in conversation? The problem with saying 'young girls don't like a football being kicked in their face,' is that the only responses you get are from female footballers who disagree. I can only provided anecdotal evidence from my own childhood but that was largely true of the girls in my year. Girls played football in PE but not with any real enthusiasm and I can't remember any of them choosing to play it in their own free time or lunch break.

Would seem an odd one. We don’t need an attacker and he struggled to get into a pretty ropey Sunderland team. Can only assume he’s improved a lot since then if we’re having a serious look.

Standard clickbait headline. I'm surprised there wasn't a stock photo of a random hot (but photoshopped) woman who turns out to have nothing to do with the actual article. My favourite is 'Top 20 hilarious wedding fails, number 4 will shock you. Can this be real!?' With a photo of a 'bride' who's tits could do with their own wheelbarrow.

I can enjoy that because the characters actually have personality. I just can’t stand the laziness of pulling a random animal and accent out of a hat and calling it a character. Scouse owl, Swedish octopus... there you go now talk about the new Mercedes something or other. The travelators themselves are useful but I agree on the f**kwits who stand on them and therefore end up moving slower than if they were actually walking. Lazy pricks.
