  1. You are making stuff up again. India comes in at 57 in the list of least racist countries out of 78 , and Palestine is not mentioned at all......but Israel and USA do feature in the top ten racist countries . UK comes in at 16. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/least-racist-countries
  2. When the emergency phone alert goes off on Sunday at 3pm I wonder how many drivers will end up in a ditch.
  3. Endangered creature at play : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8e1agz9od8
  4. Much of the problems of the NHS could be fixed by fixing instead what goes on outside hospitals and GP surgeries. On any day there are 14,000 mostly elderly people occupying acute and general hospital beds who don't need to be there as they can't be discharged due to the lack of community care .And with an increasingly elderly population things will get worse. Last year there were 165,000 vacant social care jobs . A&E departments are clogged because there are no vacant beds to move people on to. Boris Johnson remember said outside no 10 when he was elected he had a plan to fix social care but of course did nothing. The burden is instead pushed onto local councils who don't have the funds to provide home care or the staff. What is needed is a massive investment in community care . It is one problem that can be solved by throwing money at it. But no government wants to commit the funds. You can't have all encompassing community care and tax cuts. A party that goes into an election with a manifesto of no tax cuts but increases in NI to fund the long term care of the elderly is not going to win. I see things getting worse.
  5. Plenty of damming comments from posters about the intellect of Norfolk people underneath that story. Including: " Do they favour the banjo and fiddle combo around there? "
  6. Anyone remember Trevor Baylis and his wind up radio ? Has anyone got one and were they any good ?
  7. All questions answered here : https://www.sciencefocus.com/space/how-to-argue-with-a-moon-landing-denier/
  8. According to a YouGov poll of 2019: One in six Britons (16%) say the moon landing was ‘probably’ (12%) or definitely (4%) staged. Interestingly, older respondents are considerably more likely to say this statement is definitely false than younger respondents (62% of those aged 55 or older, 48% of 45 to 54 year olds and 50% of 18 to 24 year olds). and, The theory that the Earth is flat rather than round was the least popular on the survey: just 3% of Britons say it’s ‘probably’ or ‘definitely’ true. Just over nine out of ten (93%) believe it’s false, while 4% claim that they don’t know. That's an awful lot of crazy Britons about. https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2019/04/25/which-science-based-conspiracy-theories-do-britons
  9. " CPTPP.....provides a platform where like-minded liberal nations...." Brunei has imposed Sharia law on it's people .
  10. Not a fan of the Conservative Party : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkqKbBVC09M
  11. Johnny Winter live in 1984: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGEUFq7jYGI&ab_channel=kajiyahn

  13. A very misleading statement. In 2019 average life expectancy for a male was 79.9 years . But if you reach that age your life expectancy is 88 years. So someone who died of covid at the average age of life expectancy for a male was robbed of 8 years of life.
  14. Labour chancellor Hugh Dalton resigned in 1947 after details of his budget were published in an evening newspaper before his speech. They don't make them like that anymore.
  15. Not many locals involved in these demos : https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/23331990.neo-nazi-group-patriotic-alternative-joins-anti-ltn-march-oxford/
  16. The full download https://www.nature.com/articles/S41591-020-0820-9 makes it clear that the genetics of the virus make human intervention very unlikely.
  17. A stakeholder in public health is clearly someone who has an intellectual interest in promoting good practice and not a financial one, as I would have thought was bleeding obvious if you had bothered to read the whole article .
  18. The speed of your reply ( about 30 secs after I posted ) shows you did not bother to read the article.
  19. Much of the scientific community takes a different view to the FBI: " Despite much noise to the contrary, there is no credible evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was ever known to virologists before it emerged in December 2019, and all indications suggest that, like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, this virus probably evolved in a bat host until an unknown spillover event into humans occurred." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-01205-5
  20. Never watched it .......was it something like this :
  21. Sunak vs Johnson ? When does it start. Johnson has an enormous weight advantage and will probably just sit on him.
  22. Speaking of which , I was very surprised to read he got a 4 year prison sentence for mail order fraud as a young man which he spent in Strangeways Prison.
  23. The Italians don't mess about : https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64355497
