no connection. Just my usual rant - nothing works to my satisfaction: my street is full of holes and empty cans, crisp wrapping, rubbish bags left out on the wrong day etc. There is no more free parking anywhere in town, not even in public parks. The council is desparate to raise funds any way...

How are we going to pay everyone a universal income? Who is going to pay the taxes? This country can't even function without 10 million immigrants and my street (Queens Road) is still full of holes waiting to be filled.

I can't see the UK coming anywhere near that vision. Firstly, half the population currently needs help just to make ends meet. Most don't even save enough for their retirement leave alone supporting their children through higher education. Secondly, everyone needs an excellent level of...

are you saying pensioners making troubles for a tory government? They have the Daily Mail crosswords to keep them busy.

no income tax for those earning less than the national average wage may work.

I can agree with that.

that's a weak excuse.

totally absurd.

that can't be right.

the option of doing nothing/let nature take its course had to be ruled out because of the NHS. Everyone has the right to treatment. See what happens when you let care home residents die. Our hospitals couldn't cope with various mitigation strategies resulting in 3 lockdowns. My personal view is...

that strategy would rely on the element of luck. Imagine the Kent variant as dangerous as the Brazilian P1.

Mobile mechanic is a great idea. Most of the time, you wouldn't even need a van. All the tools you need for conversion work for example would fit into any car.

I think everybody needs a vision - if they are happy with the direction and progress of the business, they'll stick around.

What was that saying? A bad workman blames his tools. Joking aside, it's nigh impossible to find a good guy wanting to work on bike repairs, fast and competent. Never mind the money. Bike repair is unfortunately seen as non-specialist.

On BBC News: UK finds 30 cases of blood clots in people vaccinated with the AZ vaccine.

that's just ridiculous and you know it. 18 countries restricted the AZ vaccine. Are they anti-Oxford? Outside the UK, the AZ vaccine is not commonly associated with the word Oxford. They don't even think about it.

Does your comment apply to Switzerland too? Switzerland has not approved AZ.

If you can't choose which vaccine then you'll have to take whatever on offer, ranking would not be needed. If you are a woman under 50 and can choose, then why not avoid AZ? That's why the Germans have banned AZ for those under 60.

zlatan, you seem to ignore the scientific reason for Germany to suspend AZ for women under 60. The blood clot phenomenon albeit rare, still run more than 9 times the expected average and at the same time low platelet count. This (blood clot & low platelet count) remains a mystery. That's why it...

we have a free market economy. If governments decide to build publicly owned vaccine factories, then I am all for it but until then, we have to accept the consequences of worldwide integrated supply chain and free market. As for our government's ability to build anything, just look at HS2 and...
