    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Yeah, Pfizer couldnt/wouldn’t confirm but Ox/AZ said longer wait was probably beneficial. I might be wrong but I got the impression all senior PHE inc Whitty bought into decision ie weighing up risk v benefit of approach

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Also almost 55% in England have antibodies (and that figure was from two weeks ago !). It’s says people rather than adults (if it is, thats stunning, even if not, it’s still very good news) www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/health-56576094

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Agree mate, from memory we did the 12 week dose gap because (or at least one of the main reasons*) we were in the midst of a massive wave, like mainland Europe is now. From my limited scientific knowledge surely they should be getting those at higher risk at least partially protected asap ?! *...

    England World Cup Qualifying Thread

    Haven’t got an issue with a couple of DMs (I’d imagine these will be Rice and Henderson in the summer) if we’re four at the back....two DMs when we were playing five at the back was ridiculous ! Ps more importantly, how the fuck is Boothroyd still ‘nurturing’ our best young talent ?!!

    We really are almost there Evo. The vaccine roll outs going well, various figures are dropping/looking a lot better, restrictions are being released, clocks forward, suns shining and City...actually lets leave that one for now. seriously though after a year of worry and uncertainty it does feel...

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

    a) I mentioned previously that you might be correct on a legal basis Tony but there is no way we would’ve been allowed to have gone our own away on vaccines and delivered a successful roll out whilst other member states struggled. They are trying to stop this even though we’ve left FFS ! See the...

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

    haha, I know you’re just poking a bit. My point has never been ‘just wait and see the economic benefits roll in’. It’s more ‘to compare trade (imports and exports) now a couple of months into a totally new trading relationship and in the middle of a pandemic is crazy’ (and disingenuous). There...

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

    Ive explained the reasons why I’ve voted leave shmmeee, also that it was a toss up right up to the week of the vote. It ended up being more of an emotional decision after reading about previous referenda where countries had been forced to vote again or treaties were pushed through under a...

    School Protests

    As the chat is still going I thought this might be an interesting read (sorry about the crumple, dug it out the recycling !). Whether people agree with Syed or not it’s a reasonably balanced article , highlighting that of course it’s important to respect people’s beliefs, however, in return...

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

    To repeat again, I’m explaining what polling said were the main reasons why people voted leave. But in that answer (and video) you have just explained why many other people probably did. No understanding or appreciation as to people’s (who have a different life to you) genuine concerns. The...

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

    Im not talking about who people listened to, I’m talking about the main reasons why people voted Leave. If by ‘racism’ you mean the UK having better control of their own immigration policy, yes, that was one of the top three reasons. so was believing that in remaining we would have little...

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

    Feel free to hold them to account. However, you voted remain so ignored Davis, Fox etc. Im just saying for most people who voted leave it was pretty irrelevant what they said as well. A lot of leave voters recognised that there was likely to be at least a short term negative economic impact, the...

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

    Its hard to disagree with this in theory but it wasn’t how the vote was proposed or happened. Also, in practice does it mean that all of UK vote on individual nations independence referenda ? or what happens if an individual nation (ie Scotland) voted for independence a year or two after a...

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

    Maybe our recollections differ a bit (I sound like the queen !) but either way only a small minority voted leave for beneficial economic/trade reasons. While this was the main reason why people voted remain (quite rightly, concerns about the economic risks of leaving) it wasn’t the reason why...

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

    It would be a shame (you know I’m a unionist) but ultimately we live in a democracy so if thats what countries want then whilst I don’t, so be it. Ireland was predicted to eventually become one due to birth rates and Scotland’s a 50/50. I’m not sure I could confidently say the EU will remain in...

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

    Within a couple of months, come on mate. As I said it works both ways. House prices were due to drop by 25%, stock market collapse, food shortages etc etc. Now I’m not saying longer term that there won’t be economic impacts but it’s way too early to judge. I just think people seem to apply...

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

    Bit soon to judge though Clint. If I was being argumentative (it’s Friday so the little grenade above is probably enough) Id say that the immediate project fear collapse of everything hasn’t happened either....however I also appreciate, it’s early days !

    All purpose cricket thread

    Great win. Didn’t expect that with bowling line up. Amazing innings from stokes (and Bairstow). Great to see Roy back on form this winter as well

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

    Think the Jan figures were discussed a couple of pages back and most agreed that as it was the first month of trading with new paperwork (which caused both delays and led to many importers/exporters not risking getting stuck at port), the fact that companies had stockpiled in autumn/winter not...
