Sub 30 inevitable. Loan defaults on mass a coming.

On population density, it's a little known fact that if the US could increase their population to 1B under Biden in a bid to check Chinas global influence The US would still only have less than half the population density of the UK. Plenty of easy options for the US to grow GDP, the UK must discourage low rent immigration and concentrate on maximizing the yield from the citizens it has.

Fishboy thinks he can lecture others on empathy. :)

Oi wobbly bottom, do you think your the only person Boris is addressing. In the grip of ADHD you are devoid of empathy I'm told. Perhaps if youd lost a family member you might think differently then again I expect they gave up on you long ago. Lool.

I missed picking these up under 30, so I'd like the chance. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of good news in store right now to rock the market... not unless someone comes up with a better vaccine. Right now news seems ripe for disappointment.

Top of the world in science and at the absolute bottom in the world for Covid response.
We are literally the worst country in the developed world at 1,471 deaths/1mill- the highest CV mortality in the world!
How shameful, how disgraceful, how utterly criminally negligent. Any corporation behaving in this manner would have had the entire Board in prison by now
The Tories are entirely to blame :
Herd immunity
Keeping Cheltenham open (speak to the medics about the Midlands clusters thereafter)
PPE scandal
Care homes - off-balance sheet dumping of the poor old dears to die quietly in their decrepitude
Tiering & Lockdown mismanaged by the regions
Unlocking/Relocking - iterations of ineptitude

At every turn you arrive back at incompetence. That’s 100,000 dead because of the mophos - weasels and charlatans.
Gove, Farage, IDS, BJ, JRM and the crony-capitalists who backed them Odey, Ratcliffe, Dyson & their bigoted ilke where it all kicked off. Blood on their hands.
Lastly, Nightingale Hospitals - not a word right? Zero, zilch - why? All the Philipinnas, French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese nurses who used to look after us all legged it due to Brexit. We don’t have enough nurses to run these white elephants.
It really is manslaughter. Raging, tearful disdain.
This is so bad and we are so much better than this....(edit: or at least we should be)

What's the use of saying sorry and taking responsibility? As with most of his utterances, they're just empty statements or untruths. He's obviously insincere, or else he'd be offering his resignation now or by the end of the year. Prime Ministers have resigned over far less serious issues than this one.

[minerve 2] 27/1/2021 10:34

Absolutely the wrong PM at this time. Distracted by family troubles, Brexit, and the rabid loons on the far right of the Tory party. Surrounded by third rate ministers. Indecisiveness compounded by narcissistic need to be loved. Passing commitment to the truth and very comfortable with untruths. The nation, and especially the 100,000+ and their families and friends deserve so much better.

Stephen Jackson27 Jan 2021 7:46AMI have a treatment for this virus. It existed inside me long before this pandemic. It's called my immune system. I keep it fit by having a healthy lifestyle, getting plenty of sunshine, good sleep, reducing stress and not being too hygienic.My wife caught covid (relatively mild) in the spring but I had no bother, extremely mild symptoms. Thank you T cells!However, since Lockdowns came in I've been shut in, stressed out, socially isolated and have seen my mental and physical health slide. I'm not sleeping well, drinking to much, putting on weight, getting chest pains and losing motivation for life.In short, this pandemic has been extremely bad for my health but it was not the virus that has done that.

"A legacy of poor decisions" by the UK before and during the pandemic led to one of the worst death rates in the world, scientists have said.


Oh yes, swallow that Boris lovers.

How about when people turn up for their jab asking them if they voted Brexit. If they voted remain they could be told to apply to Ursula vL for a jab lol.

I have been a Covid statistic, one of around 60,000 people who tested positive on January 9. The first question that went through my head was: how? I had been working from home, rarely going out other than for a walk or, occasionally, to the shops.

The second question was: what now...an inevitable response, especially if you are, like me, over 60 and therefore entering the most vulnerable category.

Yet apart from a few days in bed with a high temperature and a relatively low oxygen level (an oximeter is worth having even if checking it does become obsessive), followed by a period of post-viral torpor where I felt as if I had been in a fight with Mike Tyson in his prime, my recovery has been total, aside from a lingering cough.

I heard someone recently say that Covid needed to be wiped out like smallpox. But this was endemic in Britain until 1935, some 150 years after Edward Jenner invented the vaccine. Extirpation is not an option.



The above is just extracts - the whole article's worth a read.

Maybe an improvement in infection/death rates may change the mood before that point.
Things are beginning to look up a tad - aren't they???
