Can’t believe that pair of grifters were involved. Well I can, but you know.

He’s 100% throwing Hancock under the bus.

Again, it would be voluntary. This is a basic trolley problem but you can only ask people to step in front of the trolley instead of pulling a lever.

I do wish you wouldn’t do the riddle me this shite. Just say what your point is. I’m guessing it’s that new virus vaccines are significantly higher risk at outset than medical trials are. And yes, I know, that’s why I said the risk reward profile changes. Stopping millions of deaths is possible...

? I’ve only had it on in the background while I’m working so might have misheard but I thought he was talking about finding people who would volunteer and get huge payments if things went wrong. Where’s the human rights issue? Yes poor people would be attracted to it, but that’s true about...

He’s right though. If you’re going to kill thousands or even millions indiscriminately while you go through a slower process, you’d be mad not to try and get an order of magnitude fewer volunteers to speed it up.

Boris Johnson dreams of being half the politician Blair was. Say what you like about his decisions but Blair was always across the detail of his brief. Thatcher was the Tory Blair, there are Thatcherites and Blairites in both parties still, there’ll never be Johnsonites.

A lot of it is backed by evidence and what we already knew anyway. Maybe not the “and then everyone clapped because Dom is awesome” stuff, but the general thrust.

Noted: don’t vote for Tony Blair next election.

Ian Dunt (sorry for triggering a few) made a nice observation that there’s a certain poetry about Cummings weaponising falsehoods and now being unable to hurt his opponent because he weaponised falsehoods.

Because like quantum physics and space time macroeconomics doesn’t make intuitive sense. You’re used to thinking in human lifetime timescales and not being able to create your own money.

As someone who would very much like to move to Canada later in life I really hope it happens. Just can’t see it as a serious possibility.

Also it always makes me think of disgraced Labour politician Simon Danczuk

But that’s how we save the economy! By making sure no one has any money to spend! It’s genius i tells ya! I think Mucca may have been a medieval doctor in a previous life.

Neeeeever going to happen. We are way down the list of trade priorities for these countries. I’d love it, but it is just an idea by weirdos and white nationalists online not a serious proposal.

The winning side always gets a bounce post election. People also claim they voted for them when they didn’t in polls. People like to be winners basically.

We are on topic. You keep going on about how the government “needs to pay for” the deficit and I’ve repeatedly asked you to prove this wild assertion and presented numerous data points and economic theory explaining why it’s a ridiculous idea. Again, feel free to fly in the face of mainstream...

Further to the above, we’re paying record lows right now to service our debt. Cutting the recovery off at the knees in service of that is just nuts.
