Agreed, but they have hung onto Ed Miliband (it's one l in their name) who is Shadow Business and Energy Secretary. .

Since 2010 it's been Nick Clegg, Tim Farron, Jo Swinson and now Sir Ed Davey, the Lib Dems having caught the "Ed" disease. Like Labour with Ed Miliband and Ed Balls and the Tories with Ed Vaisey. .

That £514 an hour is actually incredibly low pay for a level 6 top barrister. A level 3 mid ranker will get at least the same per hour for each day in court, often more, and that includes for the pre-trial day when they are mostly on their backsides. .

Style over substance yet again. The front mudguard terminating so high that the front wheel will splatter the motor and the battery-holding down tube with rain and mud. The rear mudguard not much better: It never used to be this way, look at this Cyclemaster motor equipped Rudge bicycle...

. If those who first thought of adding an assist motor to a bicycle had known the scale of the can of worms they were opening, I'm sure they'd have instantly dropped the idea! .

I think Londons accidentally occurring secret was suffering each hit immediately, as I so often posted last year on this, "taking the hit". With the first hit in 2020, the second wave and Delta's arrival, we led every time and as a result our infection and death rates fell first and very...

Thanks for this. I'd also done some similar checking, hence my post, though the overall for the two years comparison isn't too bad. That's still disappointing though since with the vaccines and the other given advantages for 2021 there should have been a very real drop in the deaths in this...

That's as right as anything can be in Britain at present! .

And the biggest failure is that of the vaccines failing to protect us. Far more deaths in this second year of Covid, despite all the natural protection gained by 2020's infections, despite plenty of PPE this year, despite much better masks and despite the vaccines. The first three must have...

That's irrelevant since it's not the issue, which is about the effectiveness of the Covid vaccines. The rabies vaccine is to all intents 100% effective in preventing contracting the disease. The Covid vaccine doesn't remotely compare to that. .

I agree it's still valid, but you and others are stretching it way beyond credibility for the Covid vaccines, putting all the emphasis on how they reduce symptoms. The emphasis in your posts has been almost entirely that, completely reversing the emphasis of the original statement which is on...

Normally I'd agree, but I think the atmosphere surrounding sleaze and corruption is so hot at present they wouldn't get away with it. Labour is a point ahead in the latest poll so they have no slack to play with. .

It has been changed since Covid arrived. What do you think I've been protesting about? This is what it used to be: "Vaccines are designed to prevent disease, rather than treat a disease once you have caught it." as I posted to general agreement back on March 8th. Clearly that isn't...

Rishi Sunak. .

In part they could be, 80,000 isn't such a big deal in a 67 million population. A bad winter or a tough 'flu year can grow the number by that. Do like I've done a year ago and look at the excess deaths history and the huge variations year by year so you can post from that knowledge. Or...

The job of these newspapers is to protect the Tory Party. They'll sacrifice a Prime Minister who is damaging it. They've done it before, Anthony Eden over Suez, Margaret Thatcher when the cracks showed, Theresa May over her failures, now Boris Johnson if necessary. .

So what, as I said it depends what you compare it with. I can make their figure much higher or much lower. I've already long ago covered all this. Why don't you have a look at the annual official deaths over the last decade or so to see how wildly it changes year on year. Then you'll see how...

We appear to be very close to it in London. Looked again at the Lambeth latest, they were of course London's hardest hit with Delta: Only 50.9% now with two jabs. Infection rate at 104/100k, a quarter of the national rate. Death rate still zero, nationally 1.6 .

As I and others have previously shown, the annual numbers of deaths vary very widely so the excess depends on the period being compared with. When we have a decade pre covid and a decade post covid we'll have a better idea of the truth in this respect. However, since the context of the...

That is what it's like for 97%. As you've said, 2% die. Some 4.8% here inthe UK are over 80. Some 2.4% are over 85. Nearly 1% are over 90. They all in the common region of death. When the measure of the cause of death being Covid is any death within 28 days of a positive test, and 60...
