    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I don’t recall many people saying there would be some kind of jobs boost or Brexit would save jobs from failing plants. The general commentary was that if we voted Brexit hundreds of thousands of jobs would be lost (if people believed government forecasts - I didn’t). I did see/hear people say...

    fair point, he might’ve said it ! (he’s a bullshitting twat though)

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Nobody said Brexit would ensure plants losing 100m in 10 years wouldn’t close ?! As I said, the articles saying it’s nothing to do with Brexit (or certainly isn’t a major factor)

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I was talking about Ian Charles applauding ‘leave voting erdington’, how does he know who at the plant voted for what ?! Even though the article suggests it’s nothing to do with Brexit Ps I’ve given my reasons for voting the way I did and the concerns I had (and still have) thanks shmmeee.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I always find it bizarre that Remainers appear to revel in people losing their jobs especially if there is any potential tie to Brexit. It took one google to find this article https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/business/2021/feb/25/melrose-plans-close-gkn-factory-birmingham...

    Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua

    So far he’s saying flat ‘no’. Which surprises me after the pasting he got in the last fight. Whether that’s all part of the negotiation, who knows

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Agree, it’s obviously more transmissible (and by all accounts will become dominant strain here and the rest of the world...until another new variant probably comes along). The question is how much more transmissible and was the increased spread due to other factors as well as transmissibility...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Ive reading something similar which would be great news. Although everyone (in particular the media !) needs to appreciate/accept that the virus will continue to mutate, with the more transmissible variants likely to become the dominate strain in most countries. From my limited scientific...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Yep ! Basically suggesting that whilst there’s a bit of panic and modellers (media) predicting 6k-10k hospitalisation a day, at present there’s little change. Fingers crossed it stays that way ! Edit - cant see overall latest hospitalisations but PHE (England only) still showing daily net...

    Double jabbed a decent number at least. Hopefully that same hesitancy won’t be shown here....maybe the Indian variant might be the kick up the arse some needed (always like to take at least a small positive out of a potentially shitty situation !)

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    many on here (and elsewhere) raised issues with government following that advice and wanted a different strategy. As I say, if the roll out had fucked up would people be blaming the NHS/JVCI ?! Of course they wouldn’t, and nor should they. The government made the final decisions

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Hmmmmm, I don’t accept the vaccine roll out has little to do with the government. Nor do most fair minded people in the population. Funding the development of Oxford vaccine and ensuring it was delivered through AZ at not for profit (not just good for us but rest of the world). Also ensuring...

    Basically nobody knows yet...how much more transmissible the variant is and whether vaccinations will help break the chain of transmission and/or hospitalisations etc

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I always think she comes across as a bit condescending (think it’s just her manner/way she is rather than necessarily intentional) but should be front bench when looking at some of the alternatives
