    Got to be that hasn't it. Bookies limiting their exposure. Nobody who has watched England play recently can seriously call them favourites.

    Why is this such a big story? Obviously it tragic but sadly its not that uncommon.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Its a weird filtering process. SAGE report based on science, the press then pick out a small part of the report that will generate the most clicks. People then pick out a small part of the news reports and amplify on social media. Then it gets thrown back as 'proof' SAGE were wrong despite their...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    What do these events actually prove in terms of how things we be moving forwards? They all require a negative test for entry so aren't they just showing you can put a load of people without covid in a room together and they don't catch covid from each other? Or is this leading up to the...

    Its because they have people waiting on a 2nd dose of AZ but they've suspended its use due to the blood clotting issue. They're expected to imminently decide if they will go ahead and if not what happens to people who have already had one dose.

    All purpose cricket thread

    BCCI have requested changes to India tour schedule to allow the remainder of the IPL to be played. Which means there's a decent chance it will be played in England, the other option being the UAE.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This isn't the Labour, or Corbyn, nationalise the railways plan anyway is it? This seems more like the taxpayer foots the bill for decades of under investment by franchisees but private companies still pocket the money just that they're now under a GBR branding rather than their individual...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There was a discussion on moving to a 4 day week on Radio 4 - this was pre-pandemic. One of the economists on there was from a Nordic country, can't remember which one, and couldn't get his head round why people were against improving things for others if they didn't directly benefit. We had...

    That's fine but abolishing the traffic light system is a totally different argument. Personally I don't think allowing a free for all from places like India and any others in a similar situation is a good idea but everyone is entitled to their opinion. However at the moment we do have a traffic...

    This amber countries mess is ridiculous. Everytime someone from the government speaks they give a different answer. Now they've fallen back to leave it to people to use their own judgement and I think we all know how well that will work.
