BAME = most religious
Under-30s = biggest users of social media
Those in most deprived areas = most distrusting of authority.

Easy.

So you are saying that BAME Doctors having witnessed first hand and knowing the true risks and consequences of catching covid  are choosing not to take the vaccine for religious reasons  and whatever they see on social media. What question did I ask that I apparently answered 🙄.

now now Andy. let's keep it friendly. I am left of centre but do not read newspapers. Sky and BBC news for me

Did I come across as unfriendly? Which part of my post indicated that? 

 

Im offended at the way you types Sky and BBC, it came across as really aggressive.....

Im fine when news outlets stick to facts and figures and not opinion pieces. Its good to get a broad spectrum of left and right bias to form a balanced view. I assume you do the same?

I know you do love love love a question but I didn’t ask one I was merely putting up some evidence of what I’d heard on the radio this morning 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️Simples 

I apologise, my mistake, I misread your post. You didn't ask a question. However I'm sure you were trying to make some kind of point, and it probably wasn't in favour of vaccination, but I may be wrong .................. great news if you have finally seen the light.

Not really. Its hard to ascertain someone's personality over a such a small number of posts and fairly sporadic ones at that. 

 

Im certainly not conflict adverse but there's more to me that that.  (note emoji) As with a lot of things in life discussing the same issues in person would alleviate a lot of the toys out of the pram scenarios we have here today. Some would be resolved with a fist and others with a beer, then maybe a hug.

God you don’t like to be wrong do you but this time yep you are. 

No point to make just an interesting and surprising feature on the radio nothing more or less. Don’t keep apologising man.

i'm a sarky sod but always in good jest. this does get me into trouble even with face to face dialogue, never mind written.

I haven't punched anyone in 40 years, my last beer was...let me see, what time is it now?

i'm a Gemini, I like musical theatre, toy poodles, self grooming and my partner and I enjoy watching Dancing with the Stars and a good bottle of Blue Nun. There, you know all there is to know about me now
