I'm yet to see what the end game is supposed to be for him trying to improve world health through vaccines. What are these "dodgy" vaccines supposed to do?

I was going to say brain washing the population but I don't actually know how that'd improve his situation at all. I mean if he's at the point where he can control all the world governments to do his evil bidding he's pretty much already won.

Bill Gates has done well to manage to continue drawing significant ire globally throughout the last 30 odd so years, it seems regardless of what he is actually doing he sees to be pissing some group of people off!

If you've been working from home this tax year (and any of last year) due to pandemic you can claim all of 20/21 tax relief now rather than waiting till the new one. Figured more people would see it here than the money thread.

Thanks for posting - this was very easy to do for the sake of a couple hundred extra quid.

Provide a wireless network connection to the human brain so that Windows Vista can be uploaded to our minds, ridding us of independent thought and the ability to connect USB hardware effectively.

Dont be daft, that's totally unachievable with Vista.

So, because we deal with hospitals and care homes (about 50% of our work), I've been deemed an essential worker. I will work half days during lockdown, collecting daughter after school and then working rest of day from home. Not too bad going really.

Ahead of this I have 2 weeks off starting Friday.

Tier 3 is basically a circuit breaker in those areas isn't it? I don't see why that wouldn't work, or what a local circuit breaker would achieve over tier 3?

Either the scientific advice has been ignored or the scientific advice has been wrong.

I don't know how we are so far into the pandemic and the scientific advice has not been published. It isn't classified data, I see no excuse why we don't have transparency on it. By not publishing it, there can be no "holding to account" of the government action.

A circuit breaker would be more extreme than what Tier 3 actually appears to be, which in reality is still relatively loose. Effectively going back to where we were in March (or possibly even further) is likely to be the only way to try and push the curve back down for a while.

who are these people looking about and thinking "Labour would be even worse!"
actually scratch that i dont believe theres any thinking going on...

PostRe: Coronavirus & stuff by **tomvek** » Wed Oct 21, 2020 5:51 pm

Unfortunately the whole "Can you imagine how much worse it'd be under Labour" mentality/message seems to be super effective

PostRe: Coronavirus & stuff by **OrangeRKN** » Wed Oct 21, 2020 5:59 pm

Any time I've tried calling people out on it (effectively) the response has always been some variation on "Labour would be just as bad/worse". It's infuriating.

It's a really dumb statement which could only be proved by travelling through the multiverse. Which isn't possible now. So they should shut the strawberry float up.

One thing we do know is that Corbyn would have rather resigned than hand track and trace over to the private sector. Privatising that alone could be one of the biggest domestic policy blunders of the last 70 years.
