    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We don't even have a professional full Coastguard force any more, whole large stretches of our coastlines are watched by volunteers, when they are available or not watched at all. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not coincidentally, the testing has always been suspect as many experts have complained. It's not more false positives now, they've always been present which is why our whole death rate is exaggerated, from even before 12th August. Re-read my post and look at the evidence, as said, it make...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the answer could be very simply that we carry all sorts of dangerous elements which we don't suffer from. Take salmonella bacteria which can kill us. It is everywhere around us and can and often does routinely live in our intestines without harming us in any way. In the same way I...

    You are obviously upset about this. Just as well I didn't mention that the flogged youth whose punishment brought it to an end was Irish. That would really have inflamed you ! .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think the figures are valid though, and the comparison with last May certainly isn't. On 12th August 2020 the ruling that deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test had to be recorded as due to Covid was introduced. This does not require a judgement to be made about cause of death...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Isle of Man were eventually shamed into stopping it after their high court had a youth flogged in 1976, resulting in a widespread outcry around the western world. Their last magistrate ordered flogging was in 1975. The flogging law was finally repealed in 1993, so it no longer exists there. .

    We've been closing the door after the horse has bolted since last Spring, but I think stricter border controls have a place anyway, to avoid topping up with still more variants as they appear. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed. As I posted in the Autumn, we are kidding ourselves if we think we can control this. All those who were praised for doing well in the early Covid days suffered often severe rebounds later. It's the virus that's still controlling us and vaccine or no vaccine, it will be doing so for...

    With our proven skill, we'll get the alternative anyway. It's what we do best. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The EU is suffering from a conspiracy. Because the UK has the hump at not getting the trade and fishing deal it wanted, it's gone all out to corner the market and manufacturing of as many vaccines and possible vaccines as it can. This government is squandering our money to buy up ten times...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Isle of Man has removed all lockdown rules at midnight last night, life there is completely back to normal. Their secret was the total virtual closure of their borders, key workers and those having genuine compassionate grounds have been the only exceptions. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's not a mistake, Valneva isn't yet a sufficiently working vaccine to commit to it. The EU is being sensible and cautious with their citizen's money. Our government is throwing around our peoples future incomes in diverse directions with complete abandon and it will end in tears. .

    There is only Valneva, a vaccine producer. A number of sources have made the mistake of publishing Valvena, in one case with both versions on the same page of a site. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolutely, with no evidence on so many important factors, it comes down to our own beliefs. Ultimately we each know our own circumstances: 1) Getting infected risk. 2) Risk of infecting others. 3) Age related risk of suffering worse if we do get infected. 4) Age related risk of...

    More dishonesty Zlatan ! You won't find me posting anywhere that the vaccine program is doing badly, I think it is going really well. Indeed I posted in praise of my personal perception of it and you acknowledged my post with a "Like" emoticon. Here's the link My criticisms have been of...

    I don't buy into anyone's conspiracy theory, I can create my own when necessary. Like Van Tan is a Mossad agent. .

    Perhaps this leopard will change his spots? The Daily Mail certainly appears to be doing so. Their new editor Geordie Greig is a staunch Remainer and has confirmed that on Radio 4 and that he is very much pro Europe and the EU. .
