  1. There was a huge amount of dissent towards a number of Cameron's actions (especially anything seen as socially liberal), towards May over Brexit and towards Johnson on the Covid response. Social media wasn't as prevalent the last time the Lib Dems were relevant, but I can't imagine a huge chunk of the people who voted for them in 2010 were exactly happy- I know I wasn't.
  2. They might have decided that the Democrats/ Biden are nailed on for a victory too, so want to appear on their 'side'.
  3. To be honest it's about time we had a crackdown on the vegans.
  4. Jesus. These people are either morons or psychopaths. Maybe both.
  5. So all complete bullshit then.
  6. But he mumbles Latin or ancient Greek and drops the odd classical reference in an upper class accent, he must be a highbrow mastermind.
  7. I agree, it would be unforgivable to continually undermine the party leader and form a breakaway party...
  8. It's just the reverse of what was flung at Corbyn- i.e. why didn't he win in 2017 (even though Labour started the campaign 20-odd points behind) and why wasn't he x amount of points ahead of one of the worst UK governments ever. Stupid, really, the trend is very encouraging and it's not going to shift into a massive Labour lead overnight despite how bad the Tories are. I wouldn't be too exercised about 'Corbynistas' not voting for Labour because they're not pure enough, these are a pretty small group. Getting those who voted Brexit back onside is going to be the bigger challenge.
  9. The first 3 are fantastic, 4 was a bit disappointing as it had 3 shorter stories rather than one long one. 5- the one based in Manchester with a criminal called 'The Street' was pretty shit. 6- about Bosnia- wasn't bad but nowhere near the quality of the first few. 7 was really good though, with a washed up Tennison barely hanging on.
  10. Without taking dozens of seats off the SNP, there's no chance of Labour winning an outright majority. The party's pretty much dead up here now.
  11. I think so, yes. Just had a look through the Britain Elects Twitter and more recent polls have a small Tory lead or the parties level, so this was likely a bit of an outlier.
  12. Like dexamethasone (first synthesised in 1957 and its efficacy in serious cases of Covid proven by the NHS) or Remdesivir, made in 2009 under the Obama administration.
  13. Isn't it just? Aside from cutting off rows, Excel can do all sorts of things you don't want it to from reformatting dates to stripping leading zeroes off identifiers. I bet they were opening it in Excel and sticking a date filter on to get the latest data, then pushing it into a database, which suggests they haven't even got a proper SSIS package or loader script set up, something you'd think would have been the first thing developed.
  14. Dear God, what amateurish clowns. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/oct/05/how-excel-may-have-caused-loss-of-16000-covid-tests-in-england
  15. You should change your name to Harry Kewell you malingering git.
  16. https://digital.nhs.uk/dashboards/nhs-pathways They're here if you're interested.
  17. No idea what they were doing. For my work, we load and manipulate from a hundred thousand up to a few million rows per day for customers, so it's not really 'big data', but Excel doesn't come anywhere near anything- it's text, csv or XML for the raw data, SQL Server for storage and Reporting/ Analysis Services for customers who want to drill down into the data. The only people who would use Excel are managers for their internal monthly reports.
