Sense in the DM today:

JOHN HUMPHRYS: Faced with today's China, our aircraft carriers are as useful as a terracotta army. Sadly, it is far too late to reverse the ludicrous decision that led to us wasting so many billions on aircraft carriers we did not need and which have proved technically hopeless.

No doubt it will help to build Cheshire's level of confidence further. ;))

Don't worry Cheshire there is always the Express for a few more fantasy stories.

Listen, however you classify the deaths the UK is going to be one of the worst in Europe regardless.

Totally fails to understand the point at issue. Amazing.

Extricate ourselves successfully means we leave actually and really, not notionally. The detail is secondary.

It is obvious that getting rid of the Human Rights Act is a very high priority once we have left.

cheshire - 'successfully' the all important word.

You will probably say that the Lloyds share price will top 100p by Christmas too. What is your level of confidence?

Genuine Wilful Sprite18 Jul 2020 1:24AM@Bobby Grant How do you explain how different people had such different symptoms from the same virus? The six 'types' are deduced from symptom clusters as it says. ? The symptoms fall into groupings which will help to identify those likely to be hospitalised and possibly indicate different forms of the virus. It even explains why it's important - it's not disease progression.Bebe Bowles18 Jul 2020 1:31AM@Bobby Grant There are known to be different strains of the virus; it may be that different strains are involved in each case.Harry Flashman18 Jul 2020 1:32AM@Bebe Bowles @Bobby Grant If there are different strains then no hope the vaccine will work eh!!Bebe Bowles18 Jul 2020 2:28AM@Harry Flashman @Bebe Bowles @Bobby Grant Untrue.  All so far identified have the same protein spike, which vaccines target.  And if the vaccine is also aimed at improving T cell response as claimed, anything round and spiky should be targeted, so even a really different mutation would not matter.Daily Telegraph

City centres, the virus and work patternsBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JULY 18, 2020The Prime Minister is clearly concerned that if we continue with homeworking for the many, with social distancing for hospitality, and bans on live events, the economies of our city centres will be gravely damaged for as long as this lasts. The longer it lasts, the less likely that it will bounce back to the levels of city wealth and income we saw in January.Even though the national lockdown has been relaxed, the current rules advising people against public transport and telling employers to require homeworking wherever possible means greatly reduced business for bars and restaurants, shops and personal services in city centres. The longer it goes on the more likely the many small businesses that populated these areas will give up, and  the more likely the large chains will look to cancel more of their leases on expensive city centre properties.The PM has come up with compromise with his scientific and medical advisers, who urge caution and want the effective city centre lock downs to continue through the proxy advice to avoid public transport and busy pavements. He says from August individual companies should decide if they can provide safe working back in the city centre  office, having consulted their staff. To do so might well mean a reduced staff in the office at any one time. It may well mean staggered hours to avoid peak hours on trains ,  buses and tube. It will mean social distancing at work, limits on using lifts, more cleaning and the rest.It underlines the cruel dilemma government faces. The economic advice is straightforward. Liberalise everything, give incentives to get back to work, and seek to inject a V shaped recovery into an economy gripped by a deep recession . The medical advice is also clear. To be safe, to fend off a second wave, keep up as much social distancing and isolation as possible. Do not encourage large numbers on public transport, and do not allow anything like full complements in offices.Where would you strike the balance? Would you go for jobs and growth, or for greater security?

Is there an iota of common sense either in the government or the opposition?



If there is, I fail to see it.

Maybe both grahamite. Socialists like to control peoples' lives and hate freedom.

No doubt the independent inquiry Boris has ordered will come up with scores of recommendations and the press will have their day. Boris may then hold his hands up and say we could have done things differently. Think the public will be supportive of him in general, especially if having left the EU we extricate ourselves successfully.

[grahamite2] 17/7/2020 23:02

But was the aim to make Boris look bad - or was it to make the crisis look worse than it is, thus justifying grotesquely repressive and intrusive measures?

Easy to say but then you won't be there...during your 10 year tenure it just bypassed you...the thought never occured to you?...




Antonio Horta-Osorio, the outgoing CEO of Lloyds, said: "The commitments we are making will not fix the issues overnight, and targets and measures will only take us so far, but we have to challenge ourselves to do better and I am fully committed that we will do so."
