Ridiculous. You’re obsessing over the love life of the lead of a project as some kind of proof of the quality of his model. What? Do you hear yourself? Put the tabloids down and have a cup of tea.

You clearly don’t understand the purpose of models. All the assumptions are clearly stated in the paper. And the people involved aren’t saying that, he’s Neil Ferguson two days ago: Professor Ferguson said: "The roadmap is robust to a certain level of increase in transmissibility of the virus...

No they can’t. Just people, especially journalists struggle with nuance and statistics. Theres a reason you see these headlines in the Express but not in the BMJ.

100% a sky blue legend. Longest serving member of the squad.

A 300% increase during a pandemic where exponentials often apply is significant.

Eh? It’s a paper released before we knew any of this stuff, it’s not a living document you update though they’ll probably have live models they use. Sorry this is just more anti-intellectual expert bashing. You’re arguing the toss about a model that’s from what I can tell on that graph 95%...

Not really. Just that people still don’t understand how to read models, i assume that’s from this paper: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/963445/S1117_Unlocking_roadmap_scenarios_for_England.pdf It’s pretty clear that both the...

What do people think about a CBS Arena friendly? I kinda feel we should be away all pre season and have the first match back be the season opener.

I’m sure with antisemitism being of such a concern to Tories he’ll be spending most of the meeting bringing him to task on being arguably one of the most prominent antisemites in the world.

People setting the bar way too high here. Legends are any player who becomes part of the fan folk memory for me. Doyle and Konic definitely, Ndlovu, Huckerby, Whelan too. All the players the old fellas talk about like Hutch, Curtis, etc. Keane, Dublin, even Richard Shaw. It’s not about how good...

Well you have to be in education until 18 I believe, but that doesn’t have to be school past 16.

Humans gonna human 🤷 The impact of individual action is a drop in the ocean compared to government investment and legislation TBF.

Health is a proxy for Corona right now and the govt are smashing vaccinations 🤷 Polling pretty much tracks the vaccine rollout recently.

Lots of people on the left need to read some applied psychology IMO. The theory on persuasion is two step: - Step one “pacing”: mimic the existing behaviours of your target to build trust and rapport. - Step two “leading”: slowly deviate from some behaviours to make them follow. The Sun and...

Blairism wouldn’t work in 2021, the approach of listening to voters not party members is timeless, but the results of the approach would be very different today. Likely along cultural rather than economic lines. I suspect something like Blue Labour actually.

Yeah same, was a member when I taught for the legal protection that’s essential as a teacher, but since leaving I wouldn’t bother. Socialism unsurprisingly has really suffered from the destruction of mass socialisation. No mass employment, people more mobile, no church or similar. Hard to put...

Policy platform is unchanged since Corbyn. He’s a lemon.

That was the case since 2019, in fact even Blair’s swing wouldn’t do it. Corbyn really battered the party. But no losing Batley won’t mean much, just like winning in Oxfordshire or whatever would mean he’s the messiah, he can’t impact demographic change for good or bad. Most of these seats were...
