I don't think the schools will be a particular problem, due to the precautions like routine testing, mask wearing by all and other measures. Most head teachers very sensibly phased in the return over three days with a pair of well age separated years each day. They wouldn't cross communicate...

Well he did flip his jam-jar in Norfolk. .

I think they are doing everything possible to get him past 100, as they did with the Queen Mother and hope to with the present Queen. Taking away his driving licence was a good start! Having three royals living to over 100 would be great publicity for tourism. I actually feel sorry for him...

Sad though that we aren't good at keeping promises, cut's in promised overseas aid and a prime minister who wouldn't know what keeping a promise meant. .

That's good, I'm group O, the most common. I'm sure you are common enough to be group O. ;) .

I think we have to be careful not to over expect from the vaccines and over praise them. I warned about this a couple of weeks ago and have also pointed out that they are more effective as antigens than vaccines. All these people prematurely booking holidays and those crazy demonstrating women...

Indeed, and made worse by tight fisted companies re-using American TV ads dubbed with English voices. The Gaviscon ads are the most blatant for this, even showing a cartoon American fireman alongside the two very obviously American men in the ad but with English voice over. .

Exhaustion and tiredness for a few days have been reported by some as side effects of their first vaccination and it's early days for you. Better to judge afresh next Monday when the system has had time to absorb the vaccine effects fully and your body has adjusted to an antibody production...

Oyster has posted sound reasons why the MHRA can't be trusted. LINK The government is shutting down PHE so they aren't any help. And why are you trusting EMA, I thought you believed everything European was rubbish? .

The countries stopping the vaccine use aren't banning it, they are just taking a sensible precaution for a short period until it's more certain there's no complications. A pity our experts didn't do that with Thalidomide and the processing that led to BSE. .

Indeed, even the frequent appearances of the medical experts on the daily Covid shows came with the risk of boredom and irritation for millions. .

That article contains a blatant error in this text: "It’s a common human tendency to attribute a causal effect between different events, even when there isn’t one present: we wash the car and the next day a bird relieves itself all over the bonnet. Typical." The two are connected by the well...

Of course. Seeing any police officer with a firearm was extremely rare back then when our police were internationally famous for never being routinely armed. Those little pistols were all I ever saw back then, working in the area in some of the premises concerned. The whole point of my post...

Regents Park, 1960s. .

Not in this case. The victim was shot into the brain at point blank range from the side of the car. I dont even agree on what would happen to a bullet aimed down into an offside tyre from alongside. The weapon was the small belt-holstered pistol the diplomatic protection officers used at that...

Morons, the Police should lob in tear gas canisters to force them to disperse. .

There's a strange precedent. Many years ago a Police diplomatic squad officer in London armed as usual at the time with a pistol spotted a man they wanted for questioning on a non-diplomatic matter trying to manouvre a car out back and forth of a narrow space. That suspected offender had no...

Not a trick in this case, I personally watched it on TV and saw it for myself. I'm betting many of them there were the same people who held the covid denial demonstrations and were using this demonstration for the same purpose. I'm all for the right to demonstrate for genuine grievances, but...

There is no sacred democratic right to place others at risk of death from Covid-19 infection. That demonstration had been rightly banned since we are under level 4 restriction, yet a huge number of very misguided women plus some troublemaking men had gathered tightly packed together for no...

The Mafia are probably reserving it for those who pay their protection money on time. The vaccine is protection, so that's not inappropriate. .
