    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Was watching the news reports of the protests in America last night and I happen to have been listening to a podcast about how much the Russians used social media to interfere with the American election and our referendum earlier in the day. Got me thinking, I wonder how much of the stuff on...

    It’s a complex topic but if you’re white and male you’ve objectively got an advantage in several respects.

    He’s right. You had to be growing up in the 80’s to be gen X rather than born in the 80’s. The millennials received such a bashing during the culture wars that nobody thinks they’re a millennial. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yup. Reward the people who have kept things going during the crises with better pay and that money starts moving around the economy doing things. Our power grid is now interconnected to Europe, invest in the huge potential for wind power and be a net exporter of electricity rather than...

    He makes some good points. Unfortunately Cummings is running a PR exercise and has no interest in parliamentary process or scrutiny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Book Writing

    I am a reader but by no means a big writer but did have an interest in it for a while and dabbled a bit. One of the often cited books about writing is 'On Writing' by Stephen King. Lots of lesson to be learnt from Orwell too, there's a great essay by him called 'Why I Write'. You can buy it as a...

    Clearly the government would have to mandate and pay for this. I don’t expect it to happen as they seem intent on leaving things to be up to the individual and business to sort out.

    Only option with young children going to school and nursery is going to be to keep the virus out by testing every member of staff and getting a result that day and having the place cleaned each evening. No way you can expect social distancing to be adhered to. The government are just pushing all...
