    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I hope that a properly infected person will then on recovery have long term immunity. However it is very early days yet. We are only into 5 or 6 months of this in Western Europe, with any significant population exposure.

    Those exact same people have brothers and sisters and with a death rate still at 7000 a week, 0.25M deaths is a lot to shrug off.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well the differences are that nobody protected him. And what he did was seen as a sequence of arrogant actions. Very few were illegal..(using the mobile phone was )..and utterly unnecessary, since the kind of car, and presumably type of phone would have made blue tooth pairing childs play. He...

    Back to Brexit... Big Phil Hogan has resigned as EU Trade Commissioner. This is a serious let off for the UK side. Additional information came to light after my previous posting. Any single one of the errors might have been glossed over, but when it gets to 4 or 5 in a short while ... Eg...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't see why. We have already built the customs yards . We are already inspecting freight as do the French. If the added work is excessive, the EU will subvent. Unless lots of additional shipping comes to Ireland ..which is not realistic, and would be self financing with port dues, I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yep!. I find Mrs Brown's Boys usually inane..and will never deliberately watch it, yet there are occasionally very comic moments. Its the stuff of the music hall era. And I will not be deliberately watching the antiques roadshow, ..but again I kind of enjoy it when I do. The reverence for the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well one cracks open an oyster also. A hard border on the physical actual island of Ireland would now be against UK law..since they signed off an international agreement to that effect. A hard border in Liverpool , Holyhead etc is still legal and with any number of fast track concessions for...

    I agree. A range of 300km is exceptional. Moreover, the text suggested that the capacitors were for recovered energy, whereas the lithium was the primary source.

    He is a little big for the leprechaun market, his nickname was Big Phil the enforcer. At present he has a veneer of gentility .. don't be fooled.

    Maybe ..but in this case he is OUR Bullyboy. And he is tough.. But whether he is tougher than Ursula Van der Lean ,who has requested his dossier is another question.

    Unfortunately this is a theory without substance. There is No evidence of reduced mortality. What there is is evidence of a younger cohort and better outcomes when people are being treated in hospitals which are below capacity. Again I must refer to the Global figures and the 5% mortality...

    Well the Daily Express is having a field day. There is a potential Brexit connection. Phil Hogan the EU Trade Commissioner ,who will be in charge of any UK /EU deals post December, is implicated, was the most high profile guest and has been damaged .

    Nope. You measure, you infer, you can predict, you then construct an experiment, you measure again. , You ask yourself is this consistent with a previous measurement and present theory . If so you gain confidence ,if not you repeat until you can no longer deny it. Then you move on and repeat...
