Looks like another brainwashed nutter is trying to disrupt the British way of life. Would not be surprised if it turns out to be some radical fundamentalist that we let in to our country. No wonder they are queuing up to get here.

G2 - those numbers are on the ONS website.

I will post them if you don't find them.

Here is the site. For some reason the Excel spreadsheet is not opening for me.

Off topic, sorry..




Lloyds Bank is handing £10m to 40,000 frontline staff for their efforts during the coronavirus crisis — but has sparked frustration by overlooking managers.

Chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio, 56, said in an internal memo that he was “proud” of employees for working tirelessly in branches, offices, and at home, during the lockdown. The bank will pay £250 to individuals in the lower ranks in recognition, he said.

But some branch managers, who have been among the most exposed during the coronavirus, missed out on the payment. They took to internal message boards to complain.

“It does feel like a real kick in the teeth not to be recognised,” said one. “I think this should have been a reward for any colleague that has had to

Just Wanttosay21 Jun 2020 7:13AMThere aren't more people dying from this virus than any other flu. The death toll has been inflated by adding any sorts of deaths to the list of Covid-19 deaths. Changing the rule to 1 m+ is only an excuse to make us wear the mask, succumbing us to the NWO which is being pushed by globalists and their puppets.3LikeReplyHoward Copestake21 Jun 2020 7:14AM@Just Wanttosay Man hit by steam roller dies of Coronavirus!!!!!5LikeReplyJaded Citizen21 Jun 2020 7:14AM??1LikeReplyAm Be21 Jun 2020 7:18AMProbably did....

Freedom brings opportunityBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 21, 2020The civil service seems ever keen to implement every last rule and regulation from the EU before we leave properly at the end of the year. For many years now there has been a large official legislative programme routed from Brussels by eager officials. Some of it may even have been encouraged by UK officials with doubtless some Ministerial sign off. Some officials realised a long time ago they could legislate through Brussels without any effective UK Parliamentary scrutiny, or without objections from any major political party or from most of the media. There was a conspiracy of silence about most wide ranging EU legislation, with successive oppositions unwilling to oppose it.  For officials it was a much more comfortable way of legislating. Some Ministers went along with or welcomed it. Any critical Ministers of either the process or of particular bits of legislation were usually told they had to accept as the UK was unable to stop it.Some of the lengths they have gone to are absurd. The EU cumbersome data laws were incorporated into UK law by the general legislation continuing all such laws as good UK laws once we left. Nonetheless officials were so keen to keep exactly the same bureaucracy they got Ministers to legislate directly into UK law as well. As someone who values data privacy and sensible controls over data, it seems odd that this particular version should be so revered, with an obvious effort to try to prevent us seeking something  better .This government was elected to get Brexit done. It was returned with a large Parliamentary majority to take back control of our laws, our borders and our money. Ministers now need to get the civil service working on how we, the UK voters and MPs, wish to use the new freedoms we will gain on 1 January 2021.We have wasted 5 years putting off enjoying the benefits thanks to undemocratic political forces.We need to revise our tax policy to get rid of some of the VAT and other EU impositions we do not agree with. We need a new fishing policy that is kinder to both our fish and our fishermen and women. We want a new energy policy that ensures national resilience and lower prices.  We want proper control of our borders, so we decide who to welcome here, and how to keep ourselves safe. We want our own trade policy, with lower and fewer tariffs on trade with the rest of the world than the EU makes us impose. We want more local and home grown and reared food, with fewer food miles. We want to cut the huge import bill from the rest of the EU, restoring some of the market share in our own market that we lost under EU rules and tariffs.Leaving the EU is full of opportunity. It is vital the government gives no more ground. The French and others are threatening us with tariffs and the EU Commission is telling us we will suffer if we leave without a deal. It shows how worried they are that we will do better once we have our freedom back. With the huge surplus on trade they enjoy, they would  be unwise to impose tariffs on us as it could jump start more domestic production in  the affected areas if they do. We could impose tariffs on them, and cut tariffs for the rest of the world through a series of trade deals , offering better terms to those many countries who want to improve their trade with us and who do not threaten us.

The figs are there graham, or were, but a little harder to find.

The true additional cases are very small once you discount the "with coro" catch all.

A very high proportion of old men are found to have been suffering from prostate cancer when they died. However it was not the prostate cancer that killed them in most cases.

Similarly the 42,589 figure for deaths of people who have had a positive test result for COVID does not necessarily mean a lot.

The figure for deaths this year as against deaths in a normal year would be much more strongly indicative but no-one has quoted this, anyway not that I have seen.

maxk: From a number series with limits between 1 and 45k - give any number that is insignificant.

Breakthrough As Nigerian Scientists Unveil COVID-19 Vaccine



Scientists in Nigerian universities under the aegis of COVID-19 Research Group yesterday announced the discovery of a vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19.

Addressing a news conference at Adeleke University in Ede, Osun State, Dr Oladipo Kolawole, leader of the team, said the vaccine was being developed locally in Africa for Africans.

Kolawole, a specialist in Medical Virology, Immunology and Bioinformatics at Adeleke University however said the vaccine would also work for other continent when unveiled.

He said the study, which led to the discovery of the vaccine, had enjoyed initial funding by the Trinity Immunodeficient Laboratory and Helix Biogen Consult, Ogbomosho, to the tune of about N7.8 million.

Kolawole said the group had been working extensively by exploring the SARS-CoV-2 genome from African countries to select the best possible potential vaccine candidates.

He said after trying out some selected processes of vaccine development, the researchers had been able to choose the best potential vaccine candidates for the SARS-CoV-2 and had made the possible latent vaccine constructs
