Not sure what went wrong with the site there, I've deleted that weird entry and replied again. .

The huge fonts in this post. I'm not going to grace your wild ramblings in the rest of the post with an answer, they are too irrational. .

Nonsense. The civil service cannot sack him. Parliament who he also has to answer to cannot sack him. Only the government who engaged him can do that. His employment starts and ends with the government. Because he works for them. One day you may learn that a very large type face doesn't...

The UK Statistics Authority is a non-ministerial government department of the Government of the United Kingdom He works for the government. .

Don't you read replies? Didn't I just post that I agreed with his criticism of the government's presentation of the figures? And I've never made any mention of corruption, indeed in one reply I said the support they give for each other is natural in the circumstances. We'd all probably do...

That's a posh way of saying two faced. ;) .

I called all the integral failings of the vaccine rollout chaotic and Zlatan had kittens. .

No, it's one for Spiegelhalter's statistics to work out. .

You got that right. .

"On 27 May 2020 he joined the board of the UK Statistics Authority as a non-executive director for a period of three years." The UK Statistics Authority is a non-ministerial government department of the Government of the United Kingdom responsible for oversight of the Office for National...

Yet another sign of our future. .

I achieved that too. I'd allowed for some queue time and that worked out perfectly since I stepped into the registration cabin at the precise minute of the appointed time. They weren't quite up to it though, I had to wait several minutes for the pre-jab interview. I suppose I could call that...

As I posted: "I was just reflecting the quantity of and number of sources for the promotion of delayed second doses, techniques which are the very definition of propaganda." That was not a comment specifically about Spiegelhalter but about the multiplicity. Some within that will of course be...

I agree, the US firms pressure and the government's desire for a US trade deal have been behind this all along. Biden instead of Trump might upset that apple cart though. If the scooters are legalised it will present many problems for a while. The government wants to adopt the European...

Immaterial, the source was Spiegelhalter, who incidentally is a government employed statistician, not a virologist. .

Thanks for the information, yes that makes sense for the 12 months of the trial. .

Not prejudice, that's your speciality. I was just reflecting the quantity of and number of sources for the promotion of delayed second doses, techniques which are the very definition of propaganda. .

Like scooters still being illegal outside of the official trial areas. .

Could probably have turned up when they liked within reason. When I was having mine a woman ahead of me in the queue was boasting to another that she was one and a half hours late, but they accepted her without batting an eyelid. The timings are probably just to try to keep order and make the...

The trouble with all this pro government propaganda on how wonderful the first dose is with mentions of up to 92% efficient is that many will refuse or not turn up for the second dose. Especially all those who had side effects from the first one. The result of that inadequate cover could be a...
