    Brexit Benefits

    Given currently events, both stock shortages and the climate issue, how is scaling back on our own self sufficiency and importing from the other side of the world a good idea?

    Has there been another rule change I've missed and you no longer take free kicks from anywhere near where the foul was?

    The current 7 day rate for deaths equates to nearly 50K a year. Is that an acceptable number? That's a genuine question, is there a cut off point at which deaths are too high? It was only a few weeks people were talking about it being acceptable if it was similar to an average flu year, then it...

    Sounds the same as what's happening in Canada, or at least Ontario, according to my mate who went to his first hockey game post-covid a few days ago. Proof of vaccination which matches the name on any government issued photo-id. Then masks unless eating or drinking and he said that was being...

    Its baffling why people keep talking about lockdowns, not being able to see family & friends, events being cancelled etc. All that's being spoken about is mask wearing in public, vaccine checks for venues & events and working from home where possible. The same things that are being done in...

    Presume that's not people saying they won't get it and more the fact they haven't been offered it yet. My parents come into that category and are just waiting for the call. Given the vaccination rate in that age group was over 90% would be odd for the booster to drop to 50%, even the annual...

    Denmark ended restrictions on 10th September, Norway 26th September and Sweden 29th September. Compare their numbers on those dates to 'freedom day', 19th July. They have removed their restrictions when they have things under control to a much greater extent than we did and if and when their...

    Haven't the Scandinavian countries only removed restrictions recently having got their numbers for hospitalisations and deaths down to a fraction of what ours currently are? Living with it doesn't mean just letting the numbers continually increase and doing absolutely nothing to mitigate the...

    Cases doesn't really show you anything apart from trends. IMO the better figures to watch are hospitalisations & deaths, sadly compared to much of Europe our figures for both of those don't look good.

    Gay Footballers

    Similarly there must be homophobic footballers who would happily have 'accidentally' let slip to the press that a current or former teammate was gay. That would lead me to believe that players who are gay are so concerned that its not even known to their teammates.

    Brexit Benefits

    She may be a plant but it takes a matter of seconds of searching online to find that this isn't her first appearance on TV or radio and that she's been campaigning for Brexit for years and claiming it would be brilliant for farmers. So yes should could be a plant and its some PR long game but...

    Not sure what the argument is here. If you believe Frances figures or not, and not really sure why you wouldn't, surely 'there's one other country as bad as us' isn't what we should be aspiring to.
