Very sad scenes. To paraphrase an old saying: “Never underestimate the power of a democratically elected lunatic with access to Twitter”.

Not for at least next twelve hours....

Twitter finally taking steps.

How will the gov know the figures of those carrying the virus if they can not be tested due to having to stay at home with lockdown, will it be on a case study of the figures of those admitted to hospital and tested there? because surely they can not know the figures for the Whole of the UK - just ...

Does anyone know why there were 80,000 cases reported on the 29th Dec? I assume that this was an anomaly from a Christmas backlog of non reporting days? At that rate they will run out of people in the country to test, me thinks they are telling "tiny weeny little porkies" or shall we say getting in...

Not going to disagree with your point Tommy but it did also remind me of what seemed like a contradictory view from Keir Starmer yesterday that he wanted a national lockdown within 24hrs but he was explicitly not calling for schools to close today as well.

As for the UK, and partly for the sake of argument, I think there is a case to suggest that the four countries should be looked at separately; the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland administrations all run their own health services and have very demonstrably taken their own routes, often for poli...

If the correct public health response to this is to entirely close the French borders why does that not also apply to the Republic of Ireland? They have. The Irish Government is set to impose travel restrictions on flights and ferries from Britain to Ireland. It is understood the restrictions will ...

I mean, I think that’s ludicrous, and no one has any evidence to support their “definitely” claims. I’m wary of straying off topic, too, but it sort of undermines many Brexit arguments, too, such as EU member states acting with sovereignty to close their borders individually. That was said time and...

Perhaps the other counties jut don't Fancy sharing some of the UKs new Strain. I am amazed that this did not happen earlier. I heard Expats on Irish Radio cribbing about how their adult offspring can't come over here. Just flabbergasted at this attitude that people who feel like going elsewhere don...

I think the arguments of “health discrimination” (no such thing; presumably one means “disability discrimination”, but even for that to apply, it has a certain threshold) are a bit of a red herring, tbh. We don’t know what will happen or who has said anything yet. As far as I can tell, vaccination ...

Why on earth under the current crisis hasn't this been delayed or even put to a referendum as I am sure a lot of peoples minds would be different now. the same reason there was a referendum in the first place, maintaining power. if johnson delayed he'd be seen as going back on his word to "get brex...

The point is that ItR has a tendency to take something that may have some small contact with reality behind it and then proceed to bend it so out of shape that it loses even that credibility. A few pages back he referenced that his GP had told him not to have the vaccine (presumably PFIZER) which h...

Oh trust me,I wasn't having a dig at you Tomahawk!

I kind of guessed that, I had been hoping to see a reply to your "What Anti-Vaxxers sound like...." post but that one, whilst being to the point as you noted, undoubtedly sailed straight over the relevant head(s).

So what if RIAT say,no proof of vaccine, No Entry? Then surely that is Health Discrimination, stopping someone from doing something like entry that is not thier fault. OK, lets clarify something first, you have a GP's instruction/letter stating that you should not receive any form of COVID vaccine?...

Do you ever read your messages before you hit send because the one above, like most of them, is the most inane drivel; As was pointed out to you previously Michael Yeadon was NOT the head of Pfizer and he left the company almost a decade ago. His various theories and statements over the course of t...

I will say this again - they have not had the vaccine out long enough (months is not long enough they need years to find out all the long term side effects and any serious dangers) its simplt too soon to say its the answer and perfectly safe long term - They/us/we just dont know - thats the problem...

I have just been reading up on how vaccines work for both covid and influenza - they incubate the virus and grow it, then they kill it and inject it as the vaccine, our immune system then detects this as a threat and our anti-bodies kill off the alien predator (virus) isn't that the same thing our ...

So - even politicians can be conspiracy theorists.

And in other news, it transpires members of the Ursidae family are known to defecate in forested areas.....

This argument of the "cushy job" public sector versus the "shoulder to the wheel, nose to the grindstone" private sector comes up time after time. My answer to those who glorify the private sector whilst decrying the "easy jobs for life" public sector is very simple; If the work in the public secto...

The bigger picture is though that again, an unelected individual (Symonds) may well be having an influence on decisions that should be strictly for Government. Doctors, Police, Lawyers etc are not going to go home at night & discuss confidential matters with their partners & then allow what they sa...

How can anyone believe a virus can be transmitted by 5g? I simply don't get what they think happens. seems far fetched how radiation from 5G masts can hurt people, but perhaps because a small amount of people might believe stories like this - An international study shared on the National Institute ...

This is IMO absolutely disgusting and distasteful; not least because those who would normally be at the Cenotaph were attending a service to mark 100 years of the tomb of the unknown soldier in Westminster Abbey at the time Before the scheduled events, an Extinction Rebellion activist staged a prot...

The story of what happened makes sense but have to admit when you are trying to make a new 'friend' this might not be the best way of doing it...

I read something about Trump having secuity seals on his voting slips so he could check if they had been tamered with - how true that is who knows probably just rubbish. For the love of all that's holy please, please stop making comments that rely on information you have read or seen without saying...

Lots of rumours going around regarding the vaccines - Vaccines will be made mandatory / the gov have pushed through a motion removing themselves from any accountability if the vaccine's cause problems to peoples healths or deaths / the gov will make it Impossible for anyone to do anything unless th...
