    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've already lost count of the number of these demographic change claims by Sage types and others. They are just trying to stir up alarm to get their recommendations accepted, and in the process confusing themselves with conflicted data. .

    I don't, it will sort itself out. The likelyhood is a developed immunity of sorts over time. Whether that will be for the many or the few is que sera sera. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But they are the great majority. We've always lived (and died) with epidemics, later with modern travel converted to pandemics. We should just be calmly resigned to the illness and death since they are perfectly normal. If long ago we'd decided to be an isolated rural country, staying small...

    I'm quite sure you are right and the advertising backs you: "Kills 99% of all known germs" is what is always claimed, and germs are bacteria. Tough if one meets the 1% or any of the unknown ones. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That reply didn't begin to address what I posted. We cannot impose like China, we do not have New Zealands isolation or immigration control. And as for us being an island, how does that equate with rubber dinghies turning up on our coast, stowaways on the convoys of thousands of trucks...

    In their circumstances. They are not by any stretch of the imagination our circumstances. As already posted, China can control in way we simply can't. New Zealand has an enviable isolation and immigration controls far easier to impose than here. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hardly any countries have sorted Covid, we are isolated from the very few because they are very far away. There are none in our region, the whole of Europe is in difficulties with rising infection rates, including those prematurely praised like Germany. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    During this Covid year there is no comparison, they've been relatively isolated and with the strictest immigration controls in nearly all the world. As you've implied with testing, if it doesn't enter it doesn't spread. They don't have rubber dinghies turning up on their coasts. The larger...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But we are not those countries. It worked in China since they can enforce there in a way impossible here. It worked in New Zealand and Australia due to their isolation from the rest of the world combined with their very strict immigration control. How could it possibly work here while flying...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly as I forecast and demonstrated the other day with its total failure here in London from day one of its introduction. It can't be made to work because it cannot be policed without completely paralysing the country and finally destroying the economy. Freedom of movement of people and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Excellent post Danidl, as you posted, British fishing is an export industry. The British don't want to eat most of what is fished in our waters, the Continentals do, so the attitude of Brexiters is simply a "dog in the manger" one. To threaten the chance of a trade deal for something worth...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In the matters I quoted I agree. I'm not so happy with those parts of the party who put the economy before solving the Covid crisis, making it worse in the process, since it's not one thing or the other. I say either get Covid over with quickly by taking the hit full on without wrecking the...

    Labour doesn't need to be in office now the Tories are following all their policies. Nationalising more rail, investing billions in the economy and the health service, policies favouring the North. Doesn't leave anything for Labour to do, now you've got their hard left policies anyway. .

    Neither, individually they mean little. Once names with a very specific association are paired or tripled in naming someone, there often follows specific associated behaviours,] There are numerous examples, but in the present context, quoting them leads to false accusations of anti-semitism. .

    Labour doesn't need any excuses for things they are not guilty of, the EHRC charges are not just wrong, they are an obscenity. It is precisely because Labour rank human rights and equality at the forefront that led to this whole issue, their refusal to accept any criticism of Israel as being...
