    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    And because we hold all the cards and aren’t in the least bit desperate to get a trade deal to replace what we’ve lost due to Brexit we’re dangling a carrot of visas to India. A carrot we used to use our veto to scupper when the EU wanted a trade deal with the EU...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I wonder which papers will spin this as EU red tape not Brexit red tape.

    And for decades we’ve offered vulnerable people flu jabs. I myself have qualified for decades because I have asthma. The point is that covid 19 isn’t just killing the vulnerable in big numbers and the ring around vulnerable to covid 19 is bigger than the ring around seasonal flu because so many...

    The point of the booster is to boost the waning of the initial vaccine. Clue is in the word boost. A new variant makes the need more urgent. You’ve misunderstood the point of the booster. If another new variant comes to the fore today having already had your booster doesn’t mean you’ll...

    That is actually a reasonable point to make. The point not being that it’s pointless to give a healthy 18 year old a booster as ultimately it’s helpful, but to argue that it’s not as pressing of an issue as vaccinated the rest of the world, especially developing countries. We’ve possibly gotten...

    Because if you listen to the logical argument you would be vaccinated already. Only people listening to the unlogical arguments aren’t getting vaccinated.

    I think the NHS got the extra funding, for what it was worth. But other measures he mentioned at the time such as a watershed for fast food advertising never happened. They also put the onus on the individuals rather than look at the wider causes such as environment. A typical lack of joined up...

    Actually Boris after he “caught” covid singled out his weight as a factor and increased funding to the NHS to help fight obesity. Amongst other things.

    You’ve reached the point where you’re using your own argument to dismiss your own argument. Well done.

    Right said Fred are one of the conduits for the bollocks. Whether you’re specifically listening to them or not you’re clearly listening to the same bollocks and coming to the same ill informed conclusions.

    Wearing a seatbelt doesn’t mean you won’t die in a car crash, wearing a crash helmet doesn’t mean that you won’t die in a motorcycle accident. Both significantly increase your chance of survival and reduce your chance of serious injury though. You could literally do this all day.

    To put that into context the UK prison population is circa 85,000 at any given time. 6 million isn’t remotely a possibility, for that reason alone the locking up the unvaccinated conspiracy theory is complete bollocks.

    Yeah be we hold all the cards so they’ll be falling themselves to do it. Just like they made the french government ensure we had an oven ready deal in conjunction with the German car industry putting pressure on the German government to do the same.
