Like me, but it's an annual with adjustments to suit, not every three months the same thing. .

I already know that the immunity from prior infection is superior, since London's dependency on it has resulted in far lower deaths for both the Alpha and Delta waves than the rest of the country who were far more dependent on the vaccines. This is what Professor Spiegelhalter also belatedly...

Thanks for this reference, but you are wrong in saying the kernel of my argument is that the vaccine rates for London were lower than elsewhere yet infection rates were not worse. Don't you remember that I was making the same argument of natural immunity by prior infection throughout 2020 when...

Confusing two different things? The protection from suffering given by the vaccines if Covid-19 caught, and protection against acquiring Omicron. .

Driver shortages again perhaps, UPS having to use a rival to maintain their service? .

Parcelforce really are useless, I've seen them doing the same repeated return trips here. I long ago boycotted them by refusing to buy from suppliers who use them. These days when many courier services, even some of the cheaper ones, give a precise delivery hour they keep to, there's no excuse...

The opposite here, Monday and today the car park and store absolutely packed near to capacity. My today shop was to complete for the whole Christmas period, next time probably in 2022. .

The whole of that area is a high vaccination rate one, but the far northern end is a council estate and on appearances I'd judge them to be from there. Maybe, like many who don't follow the subject, they believe the Covid vaccine actually works in preventing the disease. .

Latest visit to the supermarket showed why we aren't likely to stem Omicron infections. Two of the best preventative measures have been masking and asking people to shop alone, not bringing family or others with them, but both seem to be breaking down now. Despite the store having a large...

Guerney has got me on Ignore so doesn't see my original posts, so perhaps pretends he doesn't see them when they do appear to him as Quotes. .

True. The most recent was Alec Douglas-Home who was brought from the House of Lords to be Tory PM from 1963 to 1964, succeeding Harold Macmillan. There have been a number of others in earlier years. .

She left the Tory party to join Change UK and is now leader of the Independent Group for Change. While we'd all like change, they'll never win a GE so she'll not become PM anytime soon. .

Indeed, despite his age, his convictions for very serious fraud and sex offences, the outstanding court cases against him and goodness knows what else is hidden, Silvio Berlusconi is standing for President of Italy, and it looks very possible that he will be elected. If so, he will be 92 at the...

Not just Tory voters, I think the majority of the public. Huge numbers like me had a real struggle to even get a booster since the organisation was such a shambles compared to the previous jabs. No more for me and that is final until the pharma companies come up with something very much...

I didn't say it was, only that it could be, in high definition too as this photo I took of such a means shows:

I doubt it's possible to keep any such gatherings secret in this smartphone and advanced cameras age. The detailed Downing Street garden photo in your post could easily have been taken from a helicopter half a mile away.

As I've previously posted before it happened, the punishment is electoral as we saw in North Shropshire. There's no need for the police to intervene or to attempt any costly and failing legal actions. The public will deal out any punishment they think due, and that will hurt far more than...

He's wrong in one respect. Forget the suits, almost all work places are as a by product social gatherings and they are specifically exempt from the Covid regulations. The fact is that the Covid regulation are, like all hurriedly passed regulations, bad law, confused and impossible to apply...

I'd already seen that previously but it's not relevant. I was posting London data. .

For info. Seems our 2020/2021 London deaths have been no more than the norm for the previous 5 years for all but humps at the start of the pandemic and the start of this year:
