Yup- they can afford it, just another example of Tory penny pinching. This only applies to England, parking's free in Scotland and Wales for patients and staff. Hospitals in general in the UK seem to be set up like train stations with various franchises charging ridiculous prices to a captive audience.

Thanks, I like the sound of Bacurau and The Outpost looks like a good Friday night movie.

They're just after handouts like those cunts who make deliveries or stack shelves. Meanwhile real heroes and wealth creators like Lord Sugar and Richard Branson- Gawd Bless 'em- don't get a penny off the government.

Crap for the NHS- https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/jul/08/free-hospital-parking-to-end-for-nhs-staff-government-says Good to see we're getting back to normal.

It's a film called I Give it a Year. It's on iplayer I think. Not bad, but the characters are annoying cunts.

Probably... Although I do have rheumatoid arthritis, so my immune system is attacking myself, never mind any upstart viruses that might try it on.

I didn't really have one for about 4 years or so up until Christmas last year. Not a 'classic' one anyway with a runny nose and a cough etc.

Us unhealthy fuckers are well-placed to beat this then.

Possibly, yes, but they also found nearly all mild and asymptomatic patients that were part of a study had antibodies, which doesn't look good for a widespread T-cell immunity theory. If that is the case, then we're clearly nowhere near herd immunity, this thing's just getting started.

Cautionary stuff. Here's the full version at https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1280257221587320835.html , this is the text-

What the fuck is the matter with these people, part 2- https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/jul/07/almost-one-in-six-britons-say-would-refuse-covid-19-vaccine If and when we get a vaccine for this, anyone who refuses to take it without a good reason should be forced to self-isolate indefinitely. We've had enough shit with the MMR Wakefield bollocks, although that was hyped up by the likes of the Mail too.

To be fair, it's been the Tory way for years- save a bit of money through something boneheaded and usually cruel, then pay for it several times over because they didn't consider the knock on effects elsewhere.

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.
