Masks are not worn everywhere, which reduces their overall effectiveness. Masks are to reduce the chance of you infecting somebody else, not to prevent you catching it, ( think about operating theatres ). 2 metre separation is not far enough to prevent the infection spreading aerially in areas where masks are not enforced.

No thankyou.

Do you think 606 will be worth listening to ?

Well said.

Ahead of the party conference many MPs have said they want an end to reliance on Dom, and want " the old Boris" back. The 'old Boris' was a fabrication, what we have now is the real thing. They fell for a lie.

What a peculiar World view you hold.

It all depends on whether the CS leaked the details because they are 'leftie remoaners', or the Ministerial aides leaked them at Dom's behest to undermine Priti. You pays your money, you takes your choice. I konow where I'm putting my stake.

Surely the first line gives away the truth of the matter ? "The Foreign Office has been accused by Priti Patel’s allies of leaking “bizarre and unworkable” asylum policies to discredit her in an intensifying Whitehall blame game." And then; "......and it subsequently emerged that Downing Street had commissioned the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to explore options for overseas processing of asylum seekers." So which "Leftie remoaner" is the problem, Priti or Dom ?

The Donald reckons that chemicals in McDonalds' french fries keep his hair healthy.

Wes, I agree with you. 🙂

And she wasn't driving.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the release of "What's the Story Morning Glory". Loud, brash, and arrogant. When Madchester ruled the World.

And if she infected anybody on her travels.

With the new local rules you can still go to the pub, but can't mix with other people !

Is it ? Given the influence of big money and industries looking for favourable legislative complicity.

It just shows the collective arrogance of those people who ask us to elect and trust them.

"I know it's true, I made it up myself".

It seems that it is OK to shop without a mask if your name is Stsnley Johnson and you are the father of the Prime Minister.

Which one do NATO use now when on joint operations ?

No, there is not going to be an EU army in the forseeable future, the EU constitution won't permit it, but no doubt it is on the wish list of some people who want to progress further, in the mid to long term, towards a federal Europe. ( Which may not be such a bad idea if implemented properly ). I suspect most of the selective quotes being bandied about are being deliberately taken out of context, but I haven't the time or inclination to go through each to debunk it in turn.

Let's assume the rhetoric is true. With the USA threatening to severely reduce it's commitment to NATO, why shouldn't 'closer integration' of defence capabilities across Europe be beneficial ? Where does the UK's isolationist/indepedent stance then leave it ? Acting under the delusion that we are still a World Power with the ability to independently 'project force', or clinging to the coat tails of a self interested USA ?

Tommy Flowers is the epitome of the 'unsung hero'.
