I doubt that the SAGE advisory committee biologists gave that advice. I suspect that the newer fanciful Social Scientists , behavioural analysts and economists were given more weight. As I reported a few times earlier, there was palpable anger and dispair with the decision to run Cheltenham, in...

Good on you. I also am a happy owner of a Raleigh Motus.., , virtually the same bike, but with a few minor extras. In 3500km, I have had no services, and two glitches. A puncture, after which I slimed the tubes and replaced a tyre with a Marathon ..walking the 6 miles back with a flat wheel...

Well thats a lot of people who won't make the New Years Honours Lists.

As I said its not a question which would be asked in Ireland,or the countries around the Persian gulf. And it is not about or solely about gambling .. Blackpool slot machines are there for that. For Arab Princes it is about prestige and social positioning and yes bragging rights. And No, I am...

This is not a question you ask in Ireland .. Yes it is a sport and a very lucrative business . The competitive nature of which is particularly important in the Arab world, where the don't do gambling as such.

I think it is wishful thinking on your behalf.. If only it were true. The progress in reducing rates in Western Europe has been the standard social distancing that has taken place. Even if flecc does not agree, I am convinced that the lack of larger social gathering, and the bit of...

Flecc.. their most densely populated zone has just 1 million people , contrast that with London or the Manchester regions . They are not doing well for a sparsely populated region.

My daughter has friends in a few of these places and lockdown means lockdown... No special cases.

Flecc, you are one person , probably of very sober habits ,living in one locality Croydon ,..and managing your local Risks well, you cannot know how the ladies in Chiswick are faring. ..Or my cousin near Barnet. Again the few images I see from central London shows a very reduced footfall.

London had a number of intrinsic difficulties... Tall buildings, the Tube, higher population density over greater area, and probably higher pollution levels, international airports and greater tourist traffic. .. Fortunately not coinciding with the peak of the tourist season. All these would...

..Now you understand the complexity of the NI EU border !. And its not just gardens but sheds and bedrooms.

Flecc, I do need to reiterate that the R is a mathematical construct, based on measuring the number of infections observed, not the deaths, ..that requires even more assumptions and abstractions. You asked previously whether I trusted the ONS and Cambridge .. my answer is not a lot. Without the...

Agree with you there about that and I think the police did respond to that breach. The Barnard castle event has historical precedence.. There is a Elizabethan folk song called Musgrave, or modified as Mattie Groves and song by a young Joan Baez , about a real character demise and the legality...

One of those yes but answers. Unless these antibody tests are done within 3 months, its all moot. Evidence suggests immunity is short lived.

You miss the point, all he had have is make the claim that he was convinced that his wife and or child was getting ill ,whether CV or any other acute illness, he was legal. He was not in law required to supply doctors certs . Sloppy law of course ,

I listened to a reasonable amount of this ,and it was pedantic . Cummings would have wanted to have been a complete eejit Not to have had legal assistance in drafting this statement. He knows it has to be watertight because he knows he is not popular.

Last week, Ireland moved to phase1 opening.. This included drive through restaurants . So the local KFC opened as did a drive through Starbucks .. in one point I was sorry fir tgat Starbucks as I think it originally opened 1st March 2020, and was forced to close 10 days later. Anyway both have...

Within my immediate family ..as in myself ,wife our family and our respective brothers and sisters. Using Age over 70, diabetes, cancers , heart complaints, serious asthma, Cystic fibrosis, ..I count 8 or 9 serious health risks .. some with multiples . So no we are not taking risks ..Well...

I don't for a moment doubt the veracity of your observations. A few points flecc..the first is that the Warwick professor was serving up Plamais..as we say in Ireland , a type of unearned, unsupportive praise, which is cheap to give and difficult to refute . I could see that the minute I read...

Perhaps they should
