Newbank - "The UK still make great cars, ie, Noble"

Do they??? Made in South Africa with assembly by a VERY small workforce in UK.

Updated data from the Office for National Statistics show the UK economy performed marginally less badly than thought in the second quarter. It shrank 19.8 per cent — revised down from a first reading of 20.4 per cent — compared with the first quarter. That’s still the largest fall in output on record and the worst contraction of any major advanced economy.

"Flu Kills 646,000 People Worldwide Each Year: Study"


Seasonal flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year, according to a new estimate that's higher than the previous one of 250,000 to 500,000 deaths a year.


"Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year"





Covid-19 deaths 1 million and counting ..................
We still have October/November/December to come.


How have more died from flu this year than Coronavirus?

[chavitravi2] 30/9/2020 11:32

Geck, more died of flu this year already than covid.

....I suspect he is serious, mainly because he is correct.

Boris negotiated the 'oven ready' deal
He signed off the deal
He refused scrutiny time in parliament
He won an election on the back of it

Where is it?





He is a liar but the apes still believe the sick pig.

The scientists don't agree grahamite and they're the first to admit that they are still learning about the virus. Bit like 10 economists in a room, 10 different views.

As for his zeal, what if he were to sound wishy washy, weak willed and unclear? He has to sound positive and confident even though everyone knows the knowledge is changing daily.

Boris could get serious man points by having a phased abolishment of all lockdown restrictions for everyone say under 65 & in good health & see how it goes. Start with the south west, no pub restrictions, masks social distancing just fk the lot off & leave it up to individuals to make their own covid provisions. Assuming that goes ok open up other regions. Untill people are allowed to live with the consequences of their actions were going to be stuck in this rediculous loop.

Boris is PM he should know exactly what the situation is with COVID.

You don't ignore the failings of a car mechanic if he did a good oil change but forgot to put a wheel back on.

Also, ERG are very concerned ATM that your beloved Boris will capitulate and get a poor deal done and then sell it as a success to the numpties - just like he did with the WA.

"walking out of a foreign dictatorship and into a home-grown one"

Southern Rhodesia/Zimbabwe knows all about that among others. At least they were 'free' - but were they? G2 sums it up.

[geckotheglorious] 30/9/2020 11:03

Chavi
" it is part of our life now the same as flu but with a lesser death toll"

A lesser death toll than flu?

Are you serious?

[geckotheglorious] 30/9/2020 11:01

Graham,

What about the contrasting treatment of protests..
BLM given a free hand to deface/tear down statues, counter protesters to such outrage stamped on hard..

Tories doing themselves no favours in the eyes of many of the indigenous populace.

Civil war is coming I worry.

[maxk] 30/9/2020 10:59

Well summed up graham!

Mitchy,

Post 12401: A No Deal would sow the seeds for the U.K
car industry to be reborn. We are great innovators and could challenge even Tesla given time.

The UK still make great cars, ie, Noble, started by Lee Noble in Leeds, now head office in Leicester

As long as Boris extricates us from the EU without fudging, obfuscation or delay voters won't give a fig about any number of mistakes made during a pandemic that was not of his making.

You couldn't be more wrong, in my opinion. It's because I value liberty that I want to leave the EU; there's not much point walking out of a foreign dictatorship and into a home-grown one.

Boris has got nearly everything right: leaving the EU and really leaving, not in name only; attacking the grotesque waste that is foreign aid; dealing with the left wing quangos such as the BBC; etc etc.

But what he's doing with the COVID situation is demented. He's taking advice from seriously discredited scientists; it's one thing this week, the opposite next; he's following policies that CAN'T make any sense, like forcing shoppers to wear masks but not the people serving them - and all this is being carried out with Stalinist zeal. I pointed out yesterday why laws that are "confusing and difficult to explain" are bad laws.

He has got to be stopped in his tracks this afternoon.

Ah but then Gecko, they could hardly have come out and said we're going to have lockdowns but most of them will be in areas with high immigrant populations, for 'obvious reasons'.

It took some time before the reasons for the hotspot in the West Midlands in the first wave were stated publicly and then if I recall it was the Guardian lol who pointed out 'cultural factors'.
