I’ve seen no evidence Johnson is smart. His academic performance has generally been poor considering his background and he’s got where he is because he’s charismatic rather than through talent. He’s also failed in pretty much every job he’s had and in politics has always relied on the team...

Tried that and it was good, but was told at the time due to cost if it doesn’t work then I can’t have it on the NHS again. Just looked online and a full course is £209.25!

I do think this is what you get when you elect someone intelligent who is clearly across the detail. We must’ve had the two stupidest candidates for PM in history to choose from last election. I hope it never happens again.

Im the left wing atheist. Merkel is a right wing Christian.

On the blank cheque thing I wouldn’t be so sure. I was watching some stuff with local council leaders the other day who were saying they’d been told at the start “spend what you need and we’ll sort it” but in recent meetings with the government they were trying to row back from that. Like...

This crisis I’ve started respecting Piers Morgan and wishing we had Christian Democrat Merkel in charge as a left wing atheist. It’s all a little disturbing.

TBH I’d vape if I wanted to keep using nicotine but the point is I don’t. I like smoking, I like the feel of it, the taste of it, the ritual around rolling up, how it’s habit after sex, food and coffee. So if I keep being addicted to nicotine I will eventually start smoking again.

How does that work with SCMP/FFP? Is it loopholes in the accounting? It shouldn’t be possible for wages to be so far above income. The EFL need to tighten up and put everyone on a level playing field.

Interesting. I really got on with CBT in therapy. I’ll have a look for that.

Anyone started Devs? Watched a bit before bed of the first episode last night and looks quite good. I’m a sucker for techy sci-fi though.

So, after my run in with bronchitis and a deadly respiratory disease running rampant I thought now would be a good time to quit smoking. Tried and failed many times over the years with: - Champix - Vapes - Patches - Gum - Cutting down - That Alan Carr book I don’t believe in hypnosis so...

I see the world bank are cancelling debt to the most debt ridden countries to enable them to spend on fighting coronavirus. Nice move, though this, like the NHS debt, makes me wonder why it couldn’t have been done anyway. Most of these countries are fighting poverty full time anyway. It’s a...

Do you watch anything that isn’t produced by right wing cranks?

I voted finish the season, but to be honest if it’s like September and players have moved on or whatever I’d probably say call it as it is, it all starts to get a bit messy once you get past summer.

What’s that got to do with the number of tests per capita they’ve done?

I may be being stupid here, but we live in a world of global trade, couldn’t we just buy them in? IIRC Germany were doing tests for Italy at one point. Looking at the country by country rates were below places like Equador and Turkey, do these places have large in vitro diagnostics industries...

Jesus.

Just saw Hancock saying it’s down to demand not capacity. I do have to question why countries that have stated testing is part of their plan can get the tests and those that have gone a different route have problems.

Yep. The virus is SARS-Cov-2 after SARS which was SARS-Cov-1.

What is old frog face doing these days? Last I saw was a picture of him sat in his pants on the sofa looking like his wife left him and won’t let him see the kids.
