Not just here though. Many countries have that same nationalism. The US is the prime example, although places like China and Russia are good examples too.. Being a patriot seems to be someone who just blindly accepts that whatever their country does it the way it should be done. If it's not a...

By letting it develop naturally in terms of antibodies in the general population as it spreads. Only minor downside to that is it'd kill a huge number of people :emoji_thinking:

I agree but there's no probably about it. Planning for a massive global health crisis that could kill hundreds of thousands or potentially millions of people should not be approached in the same way as building a car. It needs to be there ready to go from the off - there won't be time to produce...

At a social level I'm hopeful it will. But at other levels it won't lead to a fairer society at all. If anything it'll make them worse. They'll feel vulnerable and hoard even more to protect themselves where possible. JRM's investment company is playing up the opportunities to make large...

Assuming we have the raw materials readily available to do so. But if there was any doubt before this on not to trust the Americans in a trade agreement it must surely have disappeared now. Seized a load of ventilators destined for export that had been ordered and paid for but when India...

Isn't Shanghai the financial capital?

Also withholding funds and equipment from certain states that have said his response hasn't been great. He's literally letting people die because he's a snowflake that can't accept criticism. He should be on trial for that in due course. Also the reason why I don't want a president here.

Althoough this lockdown is making time distort it does seem like they've been talking about ramping up testing and PPE for weeks. When do we stop talking about it and actually do it?

I was told that as well after an infected insect bite. Middle of bloody summer too!

By the end of that the voice in my head had morphed into Marvin the Paranoid Android. Music? Don't talk to me about music. Ghastly.

I don't believe the conspiracy theory at all but the fact some are seeing it as plausible tells you everything you need to know about the regime. Do I believe they'd do something like that to their own people? Without a doubt. People will just disappear if there's even an inkling you're not...

IMMAC! I though it was i-Mac. Or at least that's what I said when I was caught rubbing my genitals against the screen.

Yep. Like those fawning over Obama when he got in and saying how great he was days into the job. Why? He hadn't done anything at that point. So when they say he managed to win the election you have to point out W had won two so why wasn't he amazing? Trump won the next one but he sure as hell...

They're barely into the new government (which typically is the high point and gets lower) with a landslide and have managed to get a withdrawal agreement done. Meanwhile their main opposition was going alone with a lame duck leader waiting to be replaced. Now with this crisis and Johnson being...

He lived next door to me for 24 years with his daughter, Alice. They moved for some unknown reason, but I don't where. Guess I'm just going to have to get used to them not being there any more.

Might go over a few people's heads. Esp if they've had them chopped off!

I can't claim I made it up. Heard it years ago and assumed it was a bit old school/corny. But it's a good joke.

Yep. Look likes it's based on the cats that left RD in the first episode in search of Fuchal, the Promised Land.

Yes the figures are everywhere. Half the time it feels like it's replaced final score with the footy results. But the thing is Dom seemingly gets really excited or depressed every day depending on those numbers and it isn't good for him. Getting very upbeat when the figures go down just leads...

Surely you must have those in revolutionary Paris?
