edit- moved discussion elsewhere

Not necessarily supporting triumphalism, but in answer to your question (and trying to lever this discussion back onto good news): Because it's not just 'their problem'. As outlined a few posts ago, the vaccines work, and continue to work, by preventing a farly high percentage of infections in...

Or peace activists?

It's a drama, not a documentary It completely mis-represents anti-nuke/peace campaigners from my experience. But I can live with that. Still enjoying it. Rose Leslie (quite apart from being far too young) is also a Tory. So no thanks.

Not to mention how critically important it was to blow up our entire salary structure in order to pursuade (the three of) them to come to us...

It does take a little bit of focus to get out of the free trial. But actually it is very slighty easier than avoiding getting signed up in the first place. You can do as many free trials as you like (or at least, we haven't found a limit yet). Just put a reminder in your diary 28 days down the...

Again, tempting but I would strongly disagree with doing that. It sets a precedent. Do we charge smokers,drug takers, fat people, risk takers, rugby players...where does that end?

Hands up - I'm not quite sure what I am arguing about anymore, or if we are at cross porpoises. But I imagine the 'doing it for everything' option was considered and rejected partly on basis of what's reasonable (in terms of what people WANT to do vs what people HAVE to do), partly on balance...

It's certainly annoying. But the only other options would be mandatory vaccination for everyone (which personally i'd find hard to stomach) or refusal to treat unvaccinated covid patients - which (rightly) isn't going to happen. Looking after people who are victims of their own stupidity is one...

Not sure exactly what you mean, but I'm talking about reducing overall risk of transmission in society, not about an individual's risk. My layman's understanding of how the virus spreads is that it is much more about 'clusters' with one person having he opportunity to spread to multiple others...

Tinfoil hats are very good at deflecting uncomfortable truths.

No it doesn't it still reduces transmission risk, just not by as much as if you required passport for both.

Risk management. It's not binary (though that seems to be a difficult conecpt for many) It's not necessarily about individuals being cmfortable with one thing or another, it's about finding the best/fairest ways to reduce overall transmission. Many people HAVE to use public transport...

Yes, it was the fact she's playing an American. I was expecting a more partisan crowd.

Is it just me, or is there zero atmosphere? Game's going well so far though.

How do you know that his dick is a 'Grade A'? Oh...right.

Merely that, when it comes to appointing trade envoys, the opportunity to give some free travel and luxury living to a Tory supporting mate probably matters more than a detailed understanding of Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage.

I know that this seems a bit dodgy, but don't forget, we have a virtually flawless record when it comes to choosing our 'trade envoys'.

I was enjoying him and his other half (lady in grey next to him) quietly thinking to themselves that they should have gone to that Trump rally instead, as they'd originally planned..
