I like a strawberry jam and mild cheddar sandwich, always gets a comment but it’s bloody lovely.

What’s your excuse for the bra and panties?

Our governments obsession with China and outsourcing really need reigning in. Haven’t we now handed them our nuclear power and our telecoms? May as well just hoist the red flag now TBH, we’re their bitch.

Almost like oppressive but efficient authoritarian regimes are better suited to mass population control and large projects than liberal regimes run by idiots in their first proper job... Nah, must be a conspiracy.

My worry is we’ve done neither one thing nor the other, we haven’t tried to squash the virus like some countries have managed to do and we haven’t properly adapted to life with it by thinking properly about how we can have a working economy and slow the spread.

What happened to the Blitz spirit?

I think there’s two things here. Doms right that starting manufacturing ahead of time is probably a good idea *if that vaccine is showing promise*. Others are right that we have to be careful to pick a winner because of the cost. I’m not sure any of us aside maybe BSB know enough to know if this...

Bump and reminder this is serving as the official SBT POTS vote. Not sure when @Skybluefaz has the vote to close but others close Sunday and Monday so I’ll take the state of play Monday morning if it’s not closed by then.

Fuck it. Never buy kit, but this season needs commemorating and the third kit is the best in my lifetime. Just got one (only available in L so hopefully I stick to my diet) and one for each of the kids.

Depends how many you have to do it with. Opening up the economy fully six months earlier will be worth trillions, as long as you don’t waste much before you hit a vaccine you’re up. Of course if there is no vaccine you throw billions away for nothing. Or if it goes away anyway.

Can not wrap my head around the Coronavirus thruthers. Is it because there aren’t bodies in the streets and it’s all lonely old people hidden in care homes and hospital wards? We go mental over a few hundred killed in a terrorist attack, but go full Comical Ali when it’s tens of thousands dead...

It’s one of those phrases though, like “white privilege” that is hard for people to understand what’s meant. And I think there is a lot of class inequality mixed up that’s hard to disentangle. My missus can’t get over the fact that at nearly 40 people still give a shit about the secondary...

Apparently it’s quite common for Chinese people to pick an English name because we can’t pronounce theirs. This according to “Wendy” and “Sherry” that did a placement at our work. TBH I was kinda offended at the idea Chinese names are too hard for me.

Yeah but that doesn’t mean up front. Don’t most transfers get paid over instalments? Anyway it’s a silly question, all money comes from Sisu, it’s just a question of how long the loan is. Edit: do you have a link to that article? Got the missus to translate a couple I found, one just said...

Who says we paid up front?

Stringer is well known to be Outstanding because it has a huge amount of support staff paid for by masses of EAL funding. The other is Finham Id guess and has high Asian middle class population in the area because they move there. We don’t really have a “black” area in Cov do we? But look at...

abahahahahahahahahahaha “Look at you, doing good like some kind of chump. Not like me the do shitter” WTF even is that?

It is. The question is is structural racism part of the issue of economic injustice?

It’s really not. The press ignore it because it’s silly bollocks. Excess deaths shows the impact of corona, what exactly is written as cause of death is irrelevant. Unless you’ve got a hypothesis that explains a concurrent spike in deaths for unrelated reasons.

Yeah but he was forced to become a lawyer by leftie SJWs, when really he wanted to be a watermelon salesman no doubt.
