Still a bank holiday. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. If we’re below 1k it’s looking very much like we’re peaking

I know him, his aunt is Ophelia Balls right?

I am not an electrician, but isn’t it just live to live, Earth to earth and neutral to neutral, seems like you’ve got all three on each picture. Hard to tell what’s connected on the first pic tho.

I left the party early 2000s over civil liberties and joined the Lib Dem’s until I left in 2010. Thing I realised is they’ll say anything to pick up disaffected Labour or Tory voters. Both sides need to stop. The right and the left. The left has been calling standard soft left people Blairites...

Honestly of all of that liking ITV is the least excusable.

My two main concerns with an insurance based system would be people getting denied treatment they’d currently get and the unemployed losing out. If they can be fixed then fine, but I don’t logically see a way you get more for the same per capita spend under any system. Any competition adds to...

Sorry I misspoke. I meant they wouldn’t have theirs over the NHS. Mostly going off my misuses experiences being Dutch and working in the NHS TBF. But met Yanks and Canadians who have said similar.

Perfect chance Pete! Just arrange Zoom meetings with both Joy and Nick Eastwood, then give them both the same Zoom ID. Check mate!

Talk about tweaks if you want, though I’ve yet to meet someone from a country with an insurance based model for example that would trade theirs for the NHS. Eventually everyone meets the issue of not being insured and having to raise money. I honesty think the “tweak” that’s needed is people...

There’s not enough good people to go around. Same as there’s not enough good teachers or anything else. Accountability and improvement is possible outside of private industry and I’d argue more likely with a public service ethos than cost cutting. Id want to see evidence that the profit motive...

Ive not seen any evidence academisation has any long term impact on performance TBH. Generally speaking trying to make public services run as competitive businesses doesn’t work. You need the system as a whole working for the benefit of everyone and don’t have the luxury of failure to root out...

What I’ve seen is there’s generally two “levels” of racism, one everyone agrees is racism (calling black people w*gs or Asians p**i for example), and one more subtle that people argue over and seems to expand and contract based on who committed it. Stuff like calling a black woman ugly for (a...

Yeah I couldn’t believe that Burnham was seen as too left wing. The reaction to Corbyn and the left in generally was hysterical.

Again, just looked up the pube head thing and pro Corbyn blogs are reporting it as about Katy Clark and not Dawn Butler. Very quickly we’re back to “colleagues shouldn’t be mean about other colleagues behind their back on private group chats”, are we seriously saying that if we leaked left wing...

There’s two versions I’ve seen, that’s the full one, this is the edited one that appears elsewhere in the report: Which is not a direct quote, but has been cut down and editorialised to make a point which having seen the full quote seems not generous to say the least. And if that level of...

Im just being lazy. I’ve seen lots of heat and little light. The one serious accusation I’ve seen backed by a screenshot of the report is the Watson thing which for me doesn’t stack up to how it’s being reported and how CVD describes it. This naturally makes me want to see the source for the...

OK mate. Decide for yourself, here’s the quote about Watson: She calls it a “crazy tale”, it’s not me calling it a conspiracy theory, it’s the person in the quote. Again, I haven’t read the report. What I’ve seen on Twitter is people getting upset at someone calling someone else a “fat...

I’ll have to read it. I will say I’ve seen the Tom Watson accusations and that’s not what’s actually in the quote I’ve seen. It’s someone saying that’s what they are accused of not that’s what they did. It’s shared as a ridiculous conspiracy theory. Will have a look for the ignoring left wing...

Strong correlation between time of lockdown and death count, same thread shows little relationship between population or population density (the more recent excuse from the right I’ve seen).
