ReformUK | The Brexit Party WWW.THEBREXITPARTY.ORG It's time: From Brexit to Reform UK So I've just been hearing about Nigel Farage's latest vehicle;- the ReformUK Party. Guess what its main policy is? Says it all really.

You'll struggle to get a reasonable answer from either of that pair, The Chuckle Brothers, (without the chuckle!). You might get an answer, but it won't be to your questions and it'll more than likely be bellicose in nature.

We've been over this before I'm sure. There's nothing wrong with apologising for poor behaviour. It's just good manners and shows some humility. Something that's sadly missing on here all too often. Nothing to do with moral high ground. I had to look up the Hermes Birkin btw, probably the first and last time!

My missus, my mother, my uncle, my sister-in-law ....... have all had their first dose. Non of them had to sign anything as far as I'm aware. They may have and just not mentioned it, but I know for certain that my partner didn't sign a thing. She had the Oxford vaccine.

Sorry. It has all got a bit handbaggy hasn't it? [emoji849]

Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Google, Tesco's, Sainsbury's ........... Serco, Deloitte, G4S .................? They're the ones that have earnt the most from this pandemic.

There seems to be a change of stance going on here. I guess that's as close as we're ever going to get to seeing a drop of humility. Some of us have been highlighting the massive failings made by the English government for months now, only to be shouted down every time. Funny how things change .........

Too little, too late and poorly planned. Again. Like every single measure that our politicians have attempted to implement during this crisis. This should have been done a year ago, after proper consultation with all parties involved, the majority of whom have a far greater knowledge of what's required. Accounts like you've heard on the wireless today smack of arrogance on the part of Boris and his little chums to me, it's more than just gross incompetence.

Nope, still no answer. I too am starting to amass some unanswered questions. A pattern is beginning to emerge.

Thanks, I appreciate your attempt to clarify this for us. It maybe what was meant by the statement, but we'll never be sure unless we hear it straight from the horse's mouth. We have robustly exchanged views on the merits or otherwise of Lockdown a few times before, so for everyone's sanity there's no need for us to revisit it!

As one of the enlightened, (and yet with self-proclaimed respect for CV-19), could you tell the rest of us poor sheep what is really going on please? Tens of thousands of people are literally dying to know the real truth.
-
Sadly true.

Talking of shifting normals, the perception of what is a healthy body shape changing; I think media has a lot to answer for again. There's an advert been around for a few months now, in one scene there's an obviously fat kid jumping around on a bed. Not sure of the company but I think it's a mortgage or house moving type advert. It winds me up every time I see it! To me things like that just say "it's fine if you or your children look a bit fat, that's what people look like on TV so there's no problem".
-
Me too. Contrary to all the fake news it doesn't just affect the 0.00001% of the population who are old, vulnerable or indeed obese. As evidenced by your friends. I've also heard, from reliable medical data, that you are more likely to develop Long Covid if you only had a relatively mild initial infection so didn't need hospitalisation. Very scary indeed.
-
Agreed. I'd always like to know exactly how many of the supposedly "otherwise fit and healthy" younger people succumbing to C-19 are actually overweight. I hope and suspect that it's quite high , but I don't know as I've never seen any figures on it. It's never published. For whatever reason there seems to be a stigma attached to labelling people as overweight or obese. I think this is actually counterproductive in tackling the obesity epidemic in the long term and current pandemic in the short term. In my opinion obesity should be listed as an underlying health condition, especially if it's self-inflicted as is often the case, as you say.

Getting To Know Your Burner / Lockdown Bored.
sime42 replied to Witterings's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Old floor boards make ideal kindling. Mine split down lovely and burn like stink. Not sure what wood they used to use but it's way better than the soft white crap we get these days. -
And the punchline is that Big Boris asserts that he did everything he could to prevent this happening.
-
Maybe the one and only environmentally responsible action by this government so far. Hurray.

UK government backs birth control for grey squirrels WWW.BBC.CO.UK The government gives its support to a project to use oral contraceptives to control grey squirrels. About bloody time.

Yeah, airline meat could be anything really couldn't it?

Paying off Finance with bounce back loan?

So why the hell hadn't Boris stopped it then? -
Paying off Finance with bounce back loan?
sime42 replied to benedmonds's topic in Business Management
Fair enough, I share your outrage. Just think how much better it would have been if some of that wasted £22Bn had been spent on supporting people unable to work due to Covid 19, either due to having lost their jobs or having to take time off to self isolate. Have a look into HS2 when you get a minute. I'm sure you'll be equally appalled. To add insult to injury that one is also an environmental disaster as well as a waste of public money.
