Poika - stupid boy.

Spot on Cheshire, that's what the Brexiters love to do - control other peoples' lives. Not content to just live their own.

From what I hear, he certainly doesn't like stab-proof pants...

But that's just rumour, I know nothing.

Spot on Poikka, that's what the socialists love to do - control other peoples' lives. Not content to just live their own.

What about stab vests Poikka? Did he mention them?

Blue tomorrow..It's another round of buy and sell.

So the ultra-useless excuse for a Mayor of London says that wearing of masks should be compulsory, but that's socialism for you.

Do they work against coronavirus? Evidence says mostly no, their alleged benefits are probably outweighed by the negatives; add freedom of choice and need to avoid big state to that, and the answer is that they're not a good idea for Joe Public.

Here's the BBC take on it:

Cheers coburg1. Who is the strong sell idiot :-}. Either that or he knows something we don't

Alps - "Excell - Porton Down researches fragrances I suppose?"

If you're comparing the UK to China...I think it's time that you went into Room 101 along with M2.

Mike, where's minny gone?

In the head.

[poikka] 16/4/2020 19:37

excell1 - I'm not usually given to conspiracy theories, but if. for example, China had a ready cure.....

Whatever, I read that Dominic Raab is saying, this evening, that the matter of just how the virus was allowed to spread so readily will have to be addressed, and basically that things will never be the same again.

Probably, the least that can be said is that this is a massive own goal for China and does no end of harm to the one-party secretive state model, which is great news for Chinese people and the 'free world'.

Russia next?

Excell - Porton Down researches fragrances I suppose?

[poikka] 16/4/2020 19:31

I can, tricky, although I'd rather not, especially before dinner.

I was thinking more of Ursula....

Who's to say that the virus didn't come from Chinese bats but from a Chinese Lab.
They are not exactly going to tell us about their research into germ warfare.

Can u imagine Merkel's thong, it'd be the size of Westphalia!

[careful] 16/4/2020 18:40

Markets still too high.
A FTSE100 of about 4000 would seem right.
Maybe we will get theree.


Think of the surprise advantage of the virus lockdown.
As Brexit takes hold with the dire consequences of falling out with our largest trading partner effects peoples lives.
Brexiteers will be able to blame the virus for years to come.

[poikka] 16/4/2020 18:31

tricky - "...a reduction in size of the EU flag to about that of a ladies handkerchief?"

Very appropriate, or a thong - made in Germany, of course.

[maxidi] 16/4/2020 18:27

What a good idea!

[utrickytrees] 16/4/2020 18:18

I'm surprised Boris hasn't furloughed the entire labour party as non essential?

[maxidi] 16/4/2020 17:57

You mean Del Boy and Rodney! :o)

Always wondered about the relationship between Batman and Robin...

Batman was probably his Uncle...
