600k is some going. I'm still expecting to see a slow down when the time comes to start the round of 2nd jabs but hopefully it won't be too bad.

pretty much the same problems as the UK though their GINI coefficient is better it has been rising for years, as has the UKs. These problems really need fixing. Strong economies shouldn't be seeing ever increasing rises in poverty or homelessness. We should be able to fix these issues.

he's not claiming to be a 'comrade'. Weird comment.

let's hope so, god knows we need it to.

British environmentalist Jonathan Porritt has written about this. A lot of his peers believe capitalism cannot solve the human races environmental issues. He believes capitalism is the only answer but it needs tweeking, he refers to it as compassionate capitalism or sustainable capitalism.

another Scottish writer I would recommend if you haven't already read him is John Niven.

I was thinking today I wonder when away fans will be let back in, I can see some sort of return for home support next season but it wouldn't surprise me if away support is the season after next.

New Zealand does have almost identical wealth distribution as the UK but the Scandinavian countries you mention don't. Sweden particularly has an far more even distribution. But you're right to say they are capitalists countries which is what I said earlier, it isn't capitalism but a certain...

really fancy trying a chocolate stout though not sure if I'd like it. I'll see if I can pick a can or bottle to try. My local co-op has just been refurbed and got a decent craft beer section in there now so I'll see if they've got anything.

Baller. What the fuck is that about. Any historical stat that only covers the premier league period, football existed before. To flip the conversation what about new expressions people like? I quite like game management, sounds professional.

Let's hope 5hey deliver another fuck you if it doesn't deliver a fair proportion of what was promised

Was cited as one of the reasons for growing UK poverty in the IFS report. However it's done now and Johnson has said he's going to level up the country. Let's hope he does or that he's held to account if he doesn't.

Thanks Pete. Far less verbose than my try above and explained the point I was trying to get at far better!

I have absolutely no.idea about Bernstein and Marx but your assertion that the poorest are getting wealthier isn't true currently. It has been the case for many years bit it isn't now which is why I didn't say the pandemic shows deep flaws in capitalism, I said it shows flaws in the current...

As much as I think she's useless I agree with her on this If they set arbitrary dates then people will expect hospitality to reopen even if it starts a 3rd wave. I really hope there is some sort of reopening by summer because I'm getting fucking sick of this now but I don't want another short...

I think the pandemic has shown deep flaws in the current capitalist model. Despite being thought of as a socialist on here I agree with capitalism but the current model is too rampant. The wealth transfer to the world's richest in the last year should be a concern to any right thinking person...

He's a great writer. Love his books.

But Corbyns gone. Yet so many people have a weird obsession with him. When questioning that obsession you have to bring the Tories into it because you have to question why they're not equally obsessed with politicians from that party who have shown high levels of incompetencey? It's very strange.

I read somewhere and think I posted link in here that some off the pressure on icu is patients taking up beds who 6 months ago would have died so perversely the high occupancy rate does have a silver lining.

Corbyn could have probably pushed on from 2017 in 2019 but his campaign and manifesto was a text book lesson in how not to win an election. Running a better campaign than Corbyn isn't going to be enough for Starmer, he needs to beat the election winning machine that is the tories.
