A conspiracy I'm happy to sign up to is that they are actively stoking protests, confusion and frustration to undermine the legitimate need for a public inquiry into the pandemic response.

 

"It's not the time" will eventually turn into "there's no public appetite for this, people just want to get back to normal".

They've already lined up their patsy and he's gone already. I think this is why Cummings is going after them. He's butter about what's happened and he's the fella who's always thought he would get his way because he knows where the bodies are buried. They fucked him, so he's not letting them off the hook with the narrative they've been spinning for 18 months and at the same time, cut of some avenues of escape. Cummings only problem is it would appear the majority of the nation are pretty good with the idea of Johnson is alright. I think the root of that is they all knew he was a cunt when they voted for him and had forgiven him before that. He's basically got a free pass.

Everyone out there protesting about bizarre stuff that varies wildly. Makes you wonder why a couple of posters on the GF have chosen this week to go to London…

 

Why can’t us “rational” folk organise a mass scale protest against genuine government corruption? Even just a couple of hundred thousand people marching “against knobheads” would suffice and restore a bit of faith in humanity. 

 

Candlelit vigils for murdered women have the police going in swinging, but there’s people on Westminster Bridge chanting about all MP’s being satanic ritual nonces and then going on their merry way. It’s mental. 
 

Most people don’t give a fuck. Out of those that think we do, the majority of us tut at them on the internet and stick another box set on Netflix. Next weekend they’ll probably bring Whitehall to a standstill because Chinese 5G gamma rays are harming baby dragons in Westeros, whilst we’re all self isolating and trying to find blag copies of the new Space Jam film so the kids will stop talking for an hour. 

Wouldn't bother mate.

 

Watch the original version (again). Jordan > James.

I don't get it- they're going to introduce vaccine passports from September and yet they've opened everything up already. Pointless.

The only thing I could think of was that by September, in England, schools will have gone back, with no mitigations, the weather will be cooling down, people will be spending less time outside, we’ll be heading towards seasonal infections AND WE’LL BE FUCKED

Looks like I've got the fucking thing now. Last time I felt this shit was the swine flu in February 2011 and that was fucking shit!

 

At least the darts is on and I can flake out in front of it, while getting mad at these two wankers at the oche (White and Gurney). 

Look after yourselves

Curious you posting that as that was my reaction to Stronts’ post about current excess deaths

[Kepler-186]

Long read on the impact of COVID restrictions  on food stalls in Singapore, and the delivery apps fleecing the stall holders.

The UK has recored 96 further coronavirus deaths, according to the latest update to the government’s coronavirus dashboard. That is the highest daily total on this measure for almost four months (since 24 March, when 98 deaths were recorded). And the total number of deaths over the past week is up 60.6% on the total for the previous week.

There have also been 46,558 new cases. Week on week, new cases are up 40.7%.

I think it is to cajole younger people who aren't particularly interested into double jabbing , and allowing the time frame for them to do it.

That's what scares me the most about catching it, the temperature.

I shut down with a high temperature. Dreading it.

Honestly mate, if you're unfortunate enough to catch it, stock up on paracetamol. It does help massively. That and ibuprofen. Strangely though, my wife hasn't been hit with a temperature at all.

We got loads in just in case.

One of the girls my Mrs works with heard today her daughter and grandson have come down with it. She had contact with them on Friday, so worrying times.

I find it completely bizarre how it's hitting people in different ways. I know people are generally laughed at for suggesting this thing was made in a lab but I wouldn't be surprised to find that there's some modicum of truth in it somewhere.

 

Surely, with the wet markets in China, bats will have been eaten for centuries so why now, in a city that has a bio-lab, this thing emerges to affect people in different ways? I'm open to all explanations of where it's come from but it seems bizarre.
