    the irony that yesterday you retweeted something from Andy Ngo.

    Up to three million extra UK residents

    Yes, but if it was open to younger residents I think there'd be a bigger uptake. Many of those eligible will have family there who can't come to the UK so I'd imagine they wouldn't want to leave them. Many of those eligible will also have the option of going to other countries. I don't think...

    George Floyd

    no, but politics govern our lives, it's inescapable. Racism in on the rise, I'm not responsible but I can't influence the whole of society, politicians can. I haven't been to an illegal rave but I can't stop people, politicians can. They put enough effort into stopping them in the 80s.

    George Floyd

    but the way forward has to be political. You can say people should look at their own actions but it has to be political. BLM was formed after the death of Treyvon Martins, he wasn't the first black person killed in those circumstances. Do you think BLM would have been formed if after a couple of...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I still think we should have jst held off with the pubs for a couple more weeks especially since things seem to have plateaued slightly recently but as I said in another post, this decision was taken weeks ago, it has nothing to do with numbers or science.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I've heard examples like the one you've given and I've also heard examples of it happening the other way round where someone with an underlying illness has had that put down as the cause of death when they had covid so I think it works both ways but we will probably never get a truly accurate...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    you're wrong, it is down to to government. Look an the example of a country that's handled it well, New Zealand, health minister breaks lock down, he resigns. What happens here? Pubs opening tomorrow, a political decision, taken when we were at level 4, not 3 or transitioning between the two...

    The irony been that gammons are generally the most easily offended people you could ever meet.

    George Floyd

    Who is saying you can't ask questions? I'm certainly not. And I've asked you several times now, why aren't you calling out the agenda of those jumping on the defund the police thing given they haven't bothered for ten years when it's actually been happening? And how do you get a solution to...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Australia has had 8,000 cases and just over 100 deaths. I'm not sure why you keep comparing us to countries who have handled this successfully. Finding a way to carry on when you've had just over 100 deaths is a different proposition to when you've had over 40,000.

    George Floyd

    no not everybody does things based on politics but almost everything that happens involves politics. Try discussing the disproportionate amount of black men killed by the police in the States or the UKs handling of corona without bringing politics into it. It's not possible because both are...

    George Floyd

    why do you think that a political system which allows police to kill black men without prosecution or how we handle a pandemic is nothing to do with politics? And if we do find a solutions, they will be political. I keep saying it but how you can't grasp that almost everything we do is political...

    I'm more concerned by your definition of fruit and veg Otis! Sausage, Pitta bread, Mayonnaise, Hot Dog, Custard!!

    George Floyd

    Proving my point. I'm not saying that BLM protests or coverage by the media shouldn't be discussed. But the fact that another black man was murdered in cold blood by the police has been forgotten. Same thing was happening on the corona thread, 40 plus thousand dead but lets moan about people...

    Up to three million extra UK residents

    i thought that when I heard! That's the consequences of going to war with a country because they won't let you sell their population heroin! It only applies to people who were born before 1997 so many of them will be knocking on and have families in HK that aren't eligible so 3 million eligible...

    George Floyd

    it's the way things get deflected from the main issue that's done me. Same with the corona virus thread. You'd almost think it was done on purpose.
