I have a tattered yellow fever vaccination certificate folded into my passport. Still required for travel between certain countries. Those that talk about personal choice I suspect will get exactly that. A choice. Have the vaccination and travel freely. Or don't have the vaccination and don't...
100% agree. To be produced in India, at massive scale and at £3 a dose this one is likely to be the global gamechanger. And that really matters. Obviously most of all for the billions of people in countries where this will be the main option but also, in the longer term, for us here and our...
Agree with this.
I have understood why there has been a tendency towards caution, and even some of the doom and gloom from govt spokespeople and media, given the danger (and reality, looking at behaviour of many around me) of complacency and the irresponsble political opportunism from some...
It's a chance to use the slavish devotion of a certain proportion of the UK public to the memory of Saint Diana to help advance the anti-BBC agenda of some of the wealthiest media owners.
Indeed, it's a classic example of how the alt-right misinformation process works
1. A couple of republicans in Michigan decide to make a name for themselves by taking a token stand and refusing to certify results (meaningless as the decision will then be passed on and certified anyway, and they...
Haven't read the whole thread, but from the last few posts it appears to be going better than I'd have expected.
FWIW, my view is that this was a demonstration of an old, out of touch, stuck in the past, guy getting his wording wrong, and revealing some of his underlying assumptions about the...
Not something that comes easily, but to defend spence there actually was a bit of a red wave I'm afraid. Bigger than expected anyway, with Trump significantly increasing his vote from 2016.
Luckily the blue wave was just behind the red wave and was bigger.
Not being a fan of the man Bear, I was quite happy for this thread to appear and to have a bit of fun with like minded Gryllophobes.
But you really don't do yourself any favours in the way you engage with others and you've managed to help derail your own thread here.
Up to you of course, but...
Just because there are two sides to any argument being presented by different people does not mean that they are both equally likely to be true or that it isn't possible to make a judegement call on which one is most likely. Most legal systems sort of rely on this approach.
Sure, there are two...
I didn't think you did to be fair. Am less certain about Mr Biggums though.
I campaigned for Corbyn here in the UK, so I do know something about swimming against the tide of general opinion.
I endorse this post. The Brand is more important than the truth for Mr Grylls.
It doesn't really matter very much. But there are people that are 100 x more impressive at what he does getting 100 x less attention. Essentially because, like most posh boys, he has the confidence baked into him to...
Oh you two.
How easy it must be to believe that it's all a huge plot, that only you and few others on the internet understand.
And how lazy.
It's not true though. Politics, economics, social relations, are just a chaotic mess. Driven by information and misinformation, imbalances of power...
