I find it difficult to envisage some of the thought process that others assume are taking place in Verstappen’s head whilst negotiating the chicane.
His attempt to go around the outside of Hamilton at the first part of the chicane was almost successful - we’re talking a matter of feet from...
“ People are never going to be any safer from covid than they are once they have been vaccinated. Ever.”
That’s not the case though - there is one important factor that you have ignored and that is how many people in the general population are infected at anyone time.
As more and more people...
Possibly - judging by the way checks were handled at both home games and the demonstrated willingness to avoid other requests by the club, why would anyone be confident that the requirements for vaccination or negative test are being followed?
That’s the truth and makes me very disappointed that the club hasn’t handled this better.
I’m sure that the vast majority who went to the match yesterday would call themselves BHAFC supporters yet when asked by the club to comply with a simple act to help protect their staff and other fans the...
I’m sure it would be possible but whether or not it is practicable is a different matter.
If things went smoothly and on average each steward could check 10 photo IDs against vaccination/test information every minute, then for 30,000 visitors that equals a total of 50 man hours work. Fine if...
Are you really saying that if you tested positive for Covid you would report the test as a negative and still go to a match?
Hopefully there aren’t many who would.
The activities you mention are participated in by many amateurs who love and care for their animals but don’t be fooled by that. At the top level breeding, selection and disposal takes place in the same callous way as in horse racing. The one saving grace is that horses bred for those...
I accept that my personal view is in many ways contradictory but I also recognise that contradiction and don't try to deny it which is not the case with many supporters of the use of animals in "sport".
I own a number of pets, (or should that be a number own me ???), and believe I'm in the...
Likewise
Having seen first hand some of the consequences of using animals for sport I'll never be convinced that there is any justification to continue to do so in a civilised society. So called sports where the cruelty is visible, (e.g. hare coursing, dog fighting, cock fighting etc.), have...
Lots of comments and opinions based on an article that hasn't yet been published ???
Marcus Rashford's Tweet has probably ensured an increased readership of the next issue of the Spectator and at the very least has increased its exposure.
I’m not happy that it looks as though the Covid ‘Passport’ use will be compulsory at some venues, but not really surprised. I would have much preferred it if the requirement for proof of vaccination was left up to the venue organisers. That way I could decide, depending on their policy...
I’m not for one minute suggesting that vaccine passport use should be legally enforceable.
My point is that organisations, companies and individuals have as much right to insist on proof of vaccination to allow use of their facilities as you have to decide not to be vaccinated.
As you rightly...
I have no problem with those refusing to be vaccinated against Covid. - as you say, your right to choose should be accepted.
The problem I have is with those taking that stance and then complaining about the consequences.
Don’t complain if airlines refuse to accept your bookings, there is...
