Ideally send the affected patients to a transfusion clinic to give blood, passing Covid protection to the blood recipients. .

Indeed, my Nissan Leaf running at 4 miles per kWh on a 5p per kWh tariff is the equivalent of 400 mpg with a petrol car. What's not to like of that in preference to a petrol car. In Denmark this is done through the car owners electricity bill. They charge overnight at the very low night rate...

Not so, this is a common mistake. E-cars predominantly get charged overnight, using some of the huge and embarrassing surplus of electricity we have then, since we can't just switch off generation at will. Since most cars don't get used much of the time, that stored charge is then available...

No it's genuine, the blood clots are not just in Denmark. Ever since Boris and half the cabinet contracted Covid-19 we've had at least one clot in 10 Downing Street. .

Brazil's health mismanagement is so bad that they are still having babies born with terrible deformities due to thalidomide still being inappropriately prescribed, over half a century since that should have ceased. .

Agreed, and why i said on a lighthearted note, just teasing about experts. Coincidentally though I've just been listening to a dumb expert boasting about how consumers were fooled into accepting less sugar and salt in their favourite foods. Silly twerp, we weren't fooled and tasted the...

Another Labour politician slaughtered by the Tory press, ceaselessly attacking him without justification for everything they could dream up. .

I'm very happy and cheerful as my humour in here shows and equally happy with most things in my life. But of course I'm not married so that's not surprising. :) .

Not as simple as that I'm afraid. My heart and circulation problems plus Raynauds syndrome mean I cannot maintain adequate warmth and heat circulation around my body, regardless of what I'm wearing. I onky need to sense cold at any exposed surface like the face to have full circulation start...

They are obsessed with this latest silly anti-men vendetta. it's becoming far beyond a joke. I'm sure I'm not the only man sick of hearing their interminable shrieking on this subject. Although unintentional, it's women who have created the situation, such as it is. The great majority of...

I have a lot of faith in their expertise too, but it's not blind faith in everything they do since experts, however good, do make terrible mistakes. The almost miraculous production of Covid vaccines in so short a time has been subject to many gambles along the way in the foreshortened trials...

Not true, they are commonly the same thing. One gambles on race horses based on past and relevant experience of their performance. The same with many sports. If the bookies weren't able to fix the odds against us based on the same past and relevant experience we could win almost all the...

No, no, no. My post was replying to JHC's certainty. Nothing to do with EU/UK authorisations. Nothing to do with waiting years as I'd only just told you. And I'd already posted vaccines are good so far, but risks are risks for anyone as Rossi's broken leg showed. .

I was referring to the perceived theory of Tory/Labour positions, not the actual. I'd argue that many, maybe most people vote on those theoretical positions. .

Without this last line I was agreeing with you. Every risk taken is a gamble against unknown true odds. .

My post wasn't proposing any wait, once again you read what wasn't posted. I simply warned against stating emphatically that the vaccines are a great success. No-one knows that yet for many years, though meanwhile they may be achieving much, just as thalidomide did for a while and still does. .

You are describing the LibDems, that is exactly their core policy. Both Labour and the Tories also claim the same, as did Blair with his fake Labour party The LibDems have failed to get separately elected to govern and later failed when governing in coalition. So what is the point in another...

They were lucky that their gamble has paid off, so far that is. But no-one, including you, should be counting chickens yet, there's a long way to go. Very long ago I had access to the documents on a defence case about a drug that had caused appalling damage long after it was first used. The...

Yes, a price of our defective system that for many decades has relied on the party in power messing up to get change, rather than any party actually appealing to voters. Either Labour will get in again when the public finally get sick enough of the Tories and SNP, just as it's happened several...

As you well know, I'm speaking of political principles, not morality. Anyway what has McClusky got to do with what I posted, he isn't an MP or standing as one? The popular policies with the small "c" majority are not socialist and as said, there's no point in duplicating the Tory party...
