I hope Boris clamps down on the, 'black lives matter' copycat mob.

[bobdiamond1] 07/6/2020 14:49

But you have to look at the history of the countries you mentioned...

sikhthetech. I am aware that we aren't angels, but we stood by those people.

alphorn. There is no doubt in my mind that ''no deal'' would be a bad thing, but the chances of it happening are fairly remote. The fundamental reason being, both sides need a deal and neither side is crazy.

It will go to the wire, but it will happen.

[jacko07] 07/6/2020 14:41

sikh..yes we did rule those countries, and we are reminded every day that goes by.

However, far from it being a bad thing as preached by some, the commonwealth and others had great benefits from our rule.

To be politically incorrect, not too many of those who came to the UK never wanted to go back, so many did well by the UK and got into trades, business, professions and politics.

I think the UK have been a force for mainly good.

"a good deal will get done, it is vital to both sides".

Likely IMO too.

So question for you - those who are promoting No Deal are misinformed, idiots, nutcases?

You choose the descriptor.

Good Sunday,

Trade between the UK and EU is EASY! We’ve been told its all about trade, its not; its about power, to be expressed on the international stage. Without the UK, the most militarily potent nation in Europe, the EU has about 50% of what it hoped to have.

Those who like these things think they can affect the world order and make the United States of Europe a force to be respected, this will not now happen, because we’ve left. The modus vivendi of the EU is gone and it’ll dissolve when it realizes it cannot achieve it’s purpose.

No proof Britain will be hit by a second Covid-19 wave and 'misleading models based on Spanish flu' should not guide UK policy on lifting the lockdown, says leading expert Professor Hugh Pennington


•Professor Hugh Pennington said the evidence of a second wave is 'weak'

•He said the notion is based almost entirely on the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic

•However the flu is biologically completely different to the coronavirus

•It comes after the Government has been forced to defend easing the lockdown

•Experts have warned the latest steps are a huge 'gamble' that will lead to a spike

•Other experts say there will be a second wave, it's just a case of when


There is no evidence Britain will be struck by a second wave of Covid-19 - despite the widespread fears, according to a leading expert.

Professor Hugh Pennington, an emeritus microbiologist at University of Aberdeen, said the notion of a second wave is based on outdated flu models.

Scientists have repeatedly referred to the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic as a sign the world is heading towards a devastating relapse in cases.

The flu is biologically completely different from the coronavirus and should not be comparable, Professor Pennington added.

I like Chester, got lots, great roman wall/river/canal/race course and of course Chester Zoo.

Daft that they can't open.

[cheshire pete] 07/6/2020 09:55

Bob, we'll be going to Chester Zoo as soon as the restrictions have been lifted. Have also donated to help. Don't think it will be allowed to go under.

John Redwood loves both the sound of his own spouting and the 'raffish' cut of his own jib.

[utrickytrees] 07/6/2020 09:42

The concept is simple. Get the rest of the UK to cover the loan we need to give everyone in Scotland £5000 pa for the rest of their lives in return for their vote for Scottish Independence. 10 -15 yrs after independence Scotland becomes the next Venezuela.

[bbalanjones] 07/6/2020 09:41

ah. . . at last some good news . . .

According to an analysis by Politico's Jeff Greenfield, recent voting trends combined with Donald Trump's unpopularity with the electorate will likely see Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) lose his power following the November election.

First proposing, "It's a question as obvious as it is critical: How will the trio of crises—the pandemic, the economy, the demands for racial justice—affect the 2020 race for the White House," the columnist said it will be a major factor this election cycle and that is not good news for Republicans.

UBIS should buy enough votes to secure indy ref 2. How disappointing it's been scaled back!

[alphorn] 07/6/2020 09:32

John Redwood and others who keep spouting 'Remain' just highlight how they are still locked in years gone bye and have not realised that the sole issue today is what the trade agreements post 01/01/2021 will look like.
He needs to stop writing from his lockdown hibernation and focus his mind on the future.
