Maybe I'm being exposed to so much media it's adjusting my perception.We’ve had thousands on beaches, thousands meeting in town centres and smashing the place up. I see zero social distancing in shops, feels like I’m pissing in the wind
Makes us a viable centre for all the vaccine studies.If you go to the shops or the park over the last couple of weeks its like nothing had ever happened. I suppose at least between the VE Day parties, crowded parks & beaches and now the protests it will give the scientists some data to work with depending on how big the spike is, should help with working out how quickly other restrictions can be safely removed.
But Dom said I was talking shit yesterday
Sort of a merge with the BLM/George Floyd and this there is the evidence that BAME groups are more susceptible to the virus being lethal and I've seen quite a few saying this is further proof of racism.
Is that actually accurate? Do we know it's due to racism rather than just genetic differences? After all they've also found that men are also more likely to die than women, so is it therefore due to some form of sexism?
It may well have some part to play, but surely this is something that will need a lot of research and data crunching to ascertain if it's due to a genetic difference, cultural behaviour or societal inequality etc.
IIRC once you control for socioeconomic factors the difference is a lot smaller.
If there is no spike after the mass ignore of restrictions today and last week then it’s time to open the country again.
Interesting if true, but it does makes it a grey area.
If the socioeconomic factor is more important BUT black people are very heavily held back from improving this situation with jobs etc compared to even poor white folks, racism does also play a part in it.
Fully agree. People said it would spike after V.E day parties. Then after the bank holiday.
Fuck all happened cases wise
I’m very aware of the eyes of hill83 on me here, but I honestly believe economic factors are mostly a class issue here. Our social mobility is very poor, white British boys are our worst educational performers for example. Racism definitely exists in the job market and those experiments with black sounding names prove it, but I think class is to Britain what race is to the States. It’s why I don’t think you should mix the politics.
I think both white and black working class communities have issues around attitudes to education that Asian communities for example don’t, whereas what I see in the states is almost segregation and a definite black movement to value education as a route out. Also the police seem to harbour far more outright racists than here.
I don’t want to trivialise anything and definitely would defer to black people who disagree though.
I dont think there’s any evidence of large gatherings for either is there? I mean other than the odd video online. Nothing of the scale of Cheltenham which we know did cause a spike. These protests probably on that level but then again lockdowns basically lifted last week if you look outside so would be hard to pin on any event.
End of next week we should start to see the impacts if they’re there.

Is Keir Starmer a crazy commie?
Not as bad as commie Corbyn
I agree entirely on the class thing. Social mobility is extremely difficult and those in the upper classes will strongly resist anyone trying to attain it as on the whole many of them see it as their birthright. But there are almost no black people in those classes and so they will be resisted just as much so it's a double whammy for them and even harder to achieve.

Facebook told him.Can you explain why you think Corbyn is a 'commie?
Spicy
Now Brexit is settled let’s hope we can build on this.

Tbh, it's a small minority of our population involved in such things anyway. You need to look for a localised spike really.Takes 2 weeks
