Out of interest is that an assumption or do you have a specific reason for saying it (it may well be true, I have no idea)?

This is well worth reading - and quite an insight in terms of understanding what might be happening in Leicester, and where to point any blame...(hind - not poor people with few choices) Interesting parallels with the local spikes in Germany linked to meat packing factories exploiting migrant...

I read that whole thread yesterday (it's interesting) and I believe that both pillars are included in national level reporting, but they don't show pillar 2 at local level. There seems to be some dispute about how much information is provided to local government, and how quickly. Govt says local...

The former resident has just invited everyone that lives there to come and live with them... Not sure how that will go down with many of those currently living at the main residence of the former leaseholder...

Hmmm. Are you familiar with our Colonial history? If we are not able to exploit somewhere, it's of no further interest to us. Hong Kong has been set up as a major tax haven. It is useful to China as such. I suspect it will indeed be absorbed, but that not very much will change in practice for...

Based on his early performances and impact I still can't shake myself of the belief that we have unearthed a Mahrez-level bargain. And I remain unmoved by the (now substantial) evidence to the contrary. He WILL rule the premier league.

I have no idea what football was like in my childhood years. I wasn't allowed anywhere near it. My dad was brought up with football, but utterly detested the racism and mindless hooligan culture of that era. Took me a long time to find out how much I enjoyed it (football that is, not racism) I...

Not hard to imagine a number of potential links between poverty and greater exposure to the virus though, is it? Lower paid jobs more likely to be public facing Lower paid jobs often can't be done from home Insecure jobs mean you don't have the negotiating position to refuse to work if risks...

Don't know about you but having the balls to go on that stage and sing that song in the first place sets him apart from 'me'. A long long way apart. These people have guns doncha know.

He posed as a 'major donor' to the event, which allowed him to fund extra security...and apparently that 'security' then stopped the organizers from getting on stage and stopping him once they realised what was happening. He escaped the scene. Then returned in a different disguise - and...

Warning: long post which contains both politics and positivity. I understand the emotions behind this. Believe me I do. It's not good to see people acting as though the virus has gone away, especially if you are vulnerable, or people close to you. And I have little comprehension of why anyone...

OK, so people have been crapping in burger boxes while lying on top of each other to ensure maximum virus transmission on Bournemouth beach. And Liverpool are champions. But just to remind us it's not ALL doom and gloom: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53192532

Might need something that extreme. I mean Brighton went to all that effort of replacing the sand with uncomfortable stones and STILL they come.

Indeed. While I agree that the use of low ange and long distance lens means it tells us little in terms of coronavirus risk, it does tell me that I'd not want to be on that beach. Sitting on sand (the devil's substrate) in the hot sun surrounded by other hot, sweaty, drunk, irritable, families...

Because it's a balancing act. An either/or situation. The aim is to keep overall R number down to 1 or below. If you allow pubs, theme parks, shopping, etc you increase risk. To balance that you have to keep risks low elsewhere. If you allow people to work in offices and kids to go to school...

I'm guessing we'll get another five points. One win two draws. And that will be good enough.Considering where we were before the restart.

I am hesitant, because this is the good news thread, but it is still important that information here is accurate. If you read the detail, the drop is actually down to a change in methodology (they have excluded antibody tests from positive cases, as they can't be sure how 'new' they are)...

The US is a country built on genocide, slavery and an extreme form of gunboat 'diplomacy' Plus a very weird relationship with Jesus. Not saying it's that different from other wealthy nations. The problem comes when a majority of citizens start to believe the simplistic hype about themselves...

If Ali J goes, especially to another premier league team, we will regret it. Hugely. I have never been so sure of anything football related in my life* *I know f*ck all about football.

From what I can see of the polls the penny has dropped. He's well behind in most of the key states now. And I can't see things moving in any other direction but away from the Orange Oaf. The question in my mind is not whether Trump would lose a free and fair election in November. It's what is...
