Fuck's sake, what is the matter with these people- https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/07/frontline-workers-in-uk-set-to-pay-extra-tax-for-covid-19-tests

It's both usually, deaths rise more dramatically though. Today's UK figures-

I think it might have just reached a tipping point where the prevalence is low enough that transmissions can't really take hold. We had a few weeks in Scotland where the daily infections were halving each week. The 7 day rolling average is still around 600 a day though, and the figure yesterday was artificially low due to the weekend lag. If they are missing cases due to lack of testing, then it won't go well for them, and they'd be really stupid to do that.

It's true- the stats that are missing are the number of unique people tested. Apparently it's 'too difficult', more likely testing is so disjointed between the various providers that they can't correlate the figures properly. There were over a thousand a day barely a week and a half ago though.

Only 2 new infections in Scotland and the first death in 4 days- this is on the weekday where cases usually balloon due to the weekend lag too. I assume the restrictions will be lifted to match England's in the next couple of weeks.

It's certainly overflowing with wishful thinking.

Great. So they've now got coronavirus and 'bloody Europeans' to use as excuses for the looming disaster.

No thanks, I've seen your links before. You usually start posting them when someone asks- how will leaving the EU make things better?

Of course it's the point, leaving the EU and scrapping its working directives is going to make things worse for large swathes of the population. That- and getting around the tax avoidance laws- is one of the main reasons Brexit is so attractive to the Britannia Unchained cunts now in government. They're not doing it to help the 'little man' or redress inequality.

I'm sure once the Tories have got rid of all that pesky red tape then things will be so much better.

As bad as that is, I had a quick check as some of the dross they have isn't there. Turns our Brandalf joined in summer 2018- these were the signings made the two seasons prior to that- 2016/17- 2017-18 So I suppose Brands is an improvement, but it's all relative, they've gone from signing almost exclusively shite to almost exclusively bang average, while selling off their decent players to fund it. For us, it'd be as though 2014/15 (Suarez for several mediocrities) carried on for half a decade.

My Nan used to work for Berwick toys in Wallasey, so I always used to follow Berwick Rangers, or at least their results.

Maybe whoever filmed it set it up. It's annoying, not only for the disrespect, but because they're completely irrelevant and should be ignored rather than this small time provocation.

Big, big game tonight. They could make a huge statement to the world and er... move in to the top half...

The 11 was for Saturday, it was 9 yesterday but there was some problem with the deaths figure so the VStats site hasn't been updated.

My missus put the heating on yesterday evening, I didn't begrudge it.

This might ruin the rosy afterglow of the film for you, so I'll put it into spoiler tags.

Brand divorcing Perry because he wanted children and she didn't.

We see a group of my wife's old school friends quite regularly, nearly all of them are Catholic and left-leaning- none are what you would call even remotely 'Unionist'. Out of the 15 or so people, it was only me and my missus who actually voted 'Yes', all of the others ranged from wary to very hostile.

Yes, a fairly detailed one as well- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland's_Future As Mook says, the currency issue was largely fudged- I went ahead and voted 'Yes' as getting away from the fucking Tories would be a massive gain...

Ha, I think he'd be told to piss off in no uncertain terms, it's the supposed patriots like Trump and Johnson who'd bend the knee to that cunt and his corrupt friends. It would take a while to sort out I'm sure, negotiating re-entry to the EU would be high on the agenda, as would either adopting the Euro or creating its own currency. None of those would happen quickly.

Ethnic nationalism is the problem, the SNP promotes civic nationalism. This blog explains it pretty well- https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/scottish-nationalism-stands-apart-from-other-secessionist-movements-for-being-civic-in-origin-rather-than-ethnic/

The beginning of the end?

24? Scotland has 9, Wales 15 new infections. There's been 1 death in Wales, but the Scotland figure hasn't been announced yet- https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-daily-data-for-scotland/
