Cummings is no angel and a brexiteer to boot ! But I would believe his recent statements rather than believe the Tory crooks running this country - always so disingenuous too !

I note Cummings has just circulated his latest epamphlet.

The core of the British state collapsed in March 2019. This collapse killed tens of thousands. Almost all of those who died in the first wave could have lived and much of the physical suffering and economic destruction could have been avoided if the government had operated as the public has a right to expect. This systemic dysfunction continues.

If we do not learn from this, the public is wide open to similar and worse disasters. Having explored issues such as bioterror and nuclear weapons planning, I urge in the strongest terms that the only safe assumption for the public is that core institutions of the British state, including No10/Cabinet Office, have neglected such issues for many years and are unfit to deal with such problems. Many officials agree and pleaded with me to help change priorities. I started a process of reviewing plans/thinking for other terrible scenarios but do not have confidence this is being properly developed. The core problem is that politicians do not think such issues are their priority — their priority is overhwlemingly media nonsense and they are encouraged in this by the PM and the media. Officials who desperately want radical improvements have generally been discouraged, not supported, by MPs.

What a fkin propeller head. No wonder he's still lives with his dad and is a virgin.

Face masks should 'continue forever', says Sage scientist

Professor Susan Michie said social distancing and wearing masks should continue 'in the long term'

Face masks and social distancing measures should continue “forever”, a senior scientist on the Sage committee that advises the Government has said.

Professor Susan Michie on Thursday suggested the measures introduced to tackle the coronavirus pandemic should be retained to help suppress other viruses and boost public health.

The University College London academic, who sits on the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies that advises ministers, said that alongside vaccines, NHS test and trace, and border controls, “people’s behaviour” was a key factor towards controlling the pandemic.

She told Channel 5: “That is the behaviour of social distancing, of when you're indoors, making sure there's good ventilation or if it's not, wearing face masks, of hands and surface hygiene. We will need to keep this going in the long term and that will be good not only for Covid, but also to reduce others diseases at a time when the NHS is -”.

Interrupted by a follow-up questions about how long she thought the measures should continue, the professor of health psychology said: “I think forever, to some extent.”

Same can be said for many blue collar professions Diku, The Poles undercut the English, the Lithuanians undercut the Poles the Bulgarians undercut the Lithuanians & the Romanians undercut the Bulgarians and the amount of in work benefits the UK social security bill increases 5 fold in as many years. They could be builders, lorry drivers, friut pickers or orangery erectors.

Remember when the Poles first started coming here around 2003/2004 UK builders were making a big hu ha complaining about Poles under cutting on the job price and doing it cheaply blah blah blah...no doubt some did a good quality job to gain more customers and trust... and now those Poles got so used to the smell and the colour of UK money and the system so they too are now charging extortionate money for building works...but I think the quality is deteriorating generally within the building trade...its all about quick money and onto the next project...

Most common Covid symptoms are now headache and sore throat

Scientists are unsure whether Indian variant is causing the change, or younger people are being infected and experiencing a milder version

The most common symptom of Covid-19 is now a headache, say experts, as they warned people to get tested even if they did not think they were suffering from the illness.

King’s College London, which has been tracking symptoms through its app since the pandemic began, found that a cough was no longer in the top three symptoms, with sore throat, runny nose, headache and fever now the most typical signs.

Scientists are unsure whether the Indian variant is causing the change in symptoms or if the change is due to younger people catching the virus, and so experiencing a milder version.

Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology, King’s College London, said: “Covid is acting differently now it’s more like a cold in this younger population and people aren’t releasing this, and people might think they’ve got some sort of seasonal cold and they still go out to parties and they might spread it around.

“Since the start of May, we’ve been looking at the top symptoms and they are not the same as they were.

“Number one is headache followed by sore throat, runny nose and fever. All those are not the old classic symptoms, number five is cough, so it’s rarer and we don’t even see loss of smell coming into the top 10 anymore.

“This variant seems to be working slightly differently.”


Under current government guidance, people are urged to get tested if they experience a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or a loss or change in sense of smell or taste.

Currently people are only advised to have the more accurate PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test if they have one or more of those three symptoms.

Those who are asymptomatic or suspect they might have the disease are advised to take a lateral flow test, which is less likely to give a correct result.

However, Prof Spector said it was important to still get tested even if it feels like a normal cold.

Was Broon right when he said he’d banished "Boom & Bust"?

Had a deal been done with Helicopter Ben?
