As I've said before, that isn't relevant. They've done extremely well in economic terms of disease control, and in terms of not upsetting their population with oppressive rules and fines. Far, far better then we've done on all those with no more deaths than us. With Covid passing, their far...

Just like Sweden, who've been more successful than us since they didn't waste £400 billions in failing to control Covid-19. .

That's a disgraceful answer to OG. You objected to the NZ example on the basis of population density, so OG replied appropriately with Japan and its high population density and also on islands in the Pacific. There was nothing to criticise there, except in your crazed imagination. .

Can we start by having a correct reading of who is involved? The UK isn't in any way involved in the individual nations vaccine rollout or even the control of Covid-19. The three countries within Great Britain are individually doing both of those. The government of Great Britain and N.I. is...

Not cranky at all. I just have consideration for all others, not just one's clones. I very much doubt you'll even understand what I meant by that. Where Covid and vaccines are concerned I don't have an axe to grind. I'm accepting the vaccines because they are a good thing, albeit more for...

Zlatan never really replies to anyone, he invariably replies to his imagination. At length. .

Great for everyone else too, given how dangerous you are. We only need half the population to think as you do for us to unwittingly arrive at an oppressive police state. You might mean well, but it's clear you have no idea how far the loss of freedom has long gone, all by a combination of...

Some pubs and restaurants. With vaccine passports it will no doubt be all those premises, as it is with mask wearing. So as I said, no choice and thus in no way a silly answer. .

I don't see anything intrinsically wrong either, but they have unfortunately become associated with oppressive police states since the early 20th century which leads to many like those MPs objecting to them. Personally I don't want them since I travel light and don't want the hassle of having...

Very true, the only source is usually mechanically minded keen bike riders who've gained lots of experience over time. But the low levels of cycling in Britain makes them scarce. I bet there's no problem with finding someone suitable in The Netherlands where 70% of the population cycle daily. .

Yours is the nonsense, as I said, back door, getting people used to the idea, the usual slippery slope. And there is no choice when admission will often be refused without producing one. It's a bit like the freedom of choice to wear a face mask, but unable to enter almost all premises and...

Since there's no British Empire any more, perhaps he thought OBE stood for Offering Blowtorch Executions. .

Nothing to do with discrimination, everything to do with freedom from oppressive state control. It's a back door identity card of the sort police states have. The government failed to get ID cards by law so are trying it again with vaccines as the excuse. .

And those vaccinateed if killed on the roads within 28 days of the jab are by law on the death certificate as Covid-19 cause of death. That's how daft the numbers often are. An interesting defence for the driver who kills, "I didn't kill them, it was Covid-19!". .

Amended link for my original post: This original link to the 168/2013 integrated law on two and three wheel type approval including the pedelec exemption: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2013:060:0052:0128:EN:pDF is now dead. The new link is as follows...

There are two problems in this matter. First is that they are taught to take command of any situation encountered and not let those they are dealing with gain the upper hand. The second is that everyone claims they are innocent. Ask the over 80,000 in prison and they'll almost all tell you...

Aw, gee, shucks, cringing, red faced. .

Indeed. If this entire thread were condensed to actual content without repetition, the over 94,000 posts would be down to under a thousand. And if all the off topic posts were also eliminated, condensed to well under 100. .

We rushed into injecting as many as possible with Pfizer first doses, using almost all before the end of February, while knowing that our next delivery from Pfizer was scheduled for April. With inevitable consequences. Things don't seem to be much better with AZ in my area though. I'm now at...

If you don't mind typing the same answer twice pointlessly. .
