    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There's just a lot of weirdos in this world unfortunately ! (Also I did see some psychology behind it, it’s a large item so gets cleared off shelves quicker leading to more panic....I’m still working through my 120 rolls from first lockdown so no panic here !)

    such a fine balance though mate. Everyone hears what they want to anyway. My mate was saying earlier he didn’t like Johnson’s vagueness/flakiness with the timeframes (yet Dom and others mayve heard mid Feb as a set deadline when everything will start to get back to normal). Theyre right to build...

    They never said stuff would be lifted by then though Dom. The aim is to get high risk vaccinated (offered vaccine was the loose wording used) by mid Feb, then 2-3 weeks for those last lot to have immunity kick in. Then some ifs and buts ! edit - that’s what I heard anyway

    Shmmeee, Ian and those others with kids at home, I’m not sure if you’ve seen Duo Lingo, the language learning app. I’ve been using it. It’s free for basic offering, not sure of cost for unlimited access. Decent though even for 15 mins a day

    You and BSB are both kind of right. The mid Feb sounded like an aim to offer everyone in risk groups the vaccine. How and when restrictions are lifted was then heavily caveated. The governments ability to manage expectations has been poor throughout this, but to get people’s buy in you need to...

    Agree with you and BSB. They appear to have forgotten the behaviour science bit in all this, which is massive. All you hear is just about tighter restrictions which as a few on here have said,you can’t really get much tighter (just stricter/harsher penalties). They need to get the ‘buy in’ back

    Spot on. If (appreciate it could be a big IF !) its going ok it will hopefully give the country a boost as well....instead of just seeing the case/death figures

    It was always true to an extent Dave but the decision was made rightly or wrongly to keep schools open. I believe rightly (WTF would parents have done if they’d been closed since March ?!! and that’s not to mention the impact on kids eduction). I would have closed them as soon as it became...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Thats what I don't quite get...talk of more restrictions ?! T4 is pretty much everything locked down and cases are still rising rapidly. Are they taking any behaviour science advice anymore ?! They need people to buy into the restrictions already in place as well as close schools (T3), tell...

    Uncomfortable last 20-25 but well deserved win. Should’ve scored 4 or 5 and unfortunately we’ve always got a f*ck up in us...as it proved with the pen. Big three points and should give us a bit confidence away from home ps fair play to Shippers (I thought Allen’s been playing well and...

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

    Who knows... I think Lionel is probably right though, the City is a big enough beast to look after themselves. I was reading the other day that whilst a fair few banks have set up additional operations in Europe and ridiculous amount of assets under management have been moved (percentage wise...

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

    Yeah, 100% agree. Unfortunately it’s such a polarising subject that the here will no doubt be a slant on whatever is written about the deal. I also think it will probably take time to see a number of the pros and cons of the deal, for example level playing field, we will only know when either...

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

    I’ll say it again though Fernando, it depends why you voted and how it plays out. Purely trade, you might be right, was it all worth it. I’ve got to be honest as well, I didn’t expect it all to take 4.5 years, I doubt many/any did !!! I’m guessing on divergences of key standards there would be...

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

    Yeah, I felt it a was bit strange voting stance as a sector. Supply of cheap labour, decent subsidies etc. I don’t know enough about farming/prices/competition but can only think they thought the French farmers were getting a better deal ? (when I’m guessing it’s the supermarkets that are...

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

    A lot of farmers voted for Brexit but would’ve benefited from CAP. By all accounts (again only what I’ve read) but we’re planning on a far more environmentally friendly agri subsidy policy. Bet many farmers won’t like it and wish they’d voted to remain !!!

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

    It was a crazy sticking point really as the other main EU nations use far more state aid than us (check out France !). Hopefully what’s agreed is a two way punishment if either the EU of ourselves excessively assist certain sectors which then gives us/them unfair competitive advantage (could be...
