You know what IS patriotic?

Loving your country enough to care for its old and poor, fund its institutions, unite its communities, feed, house and educate its children, restore and live in balance with its environment, plan with care for its future, build its alliances, and perhaps above all - tell it the truth

 

 

The Tory Legacy

Record high: taxes, immigration, excrement in waterways, energy company/crony profits

Record low: living standards and investment

Crumbling Hospitals, schools, council services, businesses and roads

They squander taxpayer money by the £thousands on a failed ex-PMs luxury troughing on a plane, rather than feed UK children

Things have moved on dramatically since this paper (vast sums of money ramp up development - and rhetoric), and it is rather technical in parts, but summary/conclusions worth a look at least for an informed initial overview

As minks are slaughtered across the world due to a mutated form of covid spreading through their ranks ...

 

Among Brits:

"the total official number of direct Covid deaths to 49,770. Nearly fifty thousand dead in just a few months.

And on the scientists’ (certainly Chris Whitty’s) preferred measure of “excess deaths”, the number is over 72,000."

“Findings from PHE Porton Down and Oxford University shows newly deployed Lateral Flow Tests [spin removed} had “an overall sensitivity of 76.8% for all PCR positive individuals but detects over 95% of individuals with high viral loads”.

 

PCR is the gold-standard swab test that is widely used at present but requires lab processing.

 

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/13/covid-test-for-mass-uk-screening-could-miss-up-to-half-of-cases-say-scientists

 

So it detects overall 76.8% of those who tested positive via PCR swabs

and just 95% of those with high viral load

 

Article doesn't detail how many false positives it gives.

Figures I saw showed around 93% overall accuracy in ideal lab conditions.

 

 

More accurate than temperature testing which seems to be around 30% (which STILL isnt widely implemented)

- but with a high proportion of those trapped by the temp trap likely to be spreaders of covid/flu

 

Now a sensible approach it seems to me would be temperature tests at gathering places (Supermarkets/transport hubs/hospitals etc) with those with high temps getting the fast result lateral flow test.

Still not ideal - but some BIG steps in the right direction

More briefings of cronies who brief to their paying customers

Government gave lobbyists access to confidential coronavirus briefings

Former Sun political editor and current chairman of Portland Communications, George Pascoe-Watson, was quietly appointed as an "adviser" to the government in April.

He briefed paying clients on the government's thinking, including on upcoming lockdowns.

 

Mr Pascoe-Watson emailed clients on October 15, telling them he had been “privately advised” that new restrictions on London would last six months until the spring, the Sunday Times reported.

 

Wonder if the London Mayor or Londoners know that?

How are people feeling about Christmas celebrations?

 

Unless things change, I have to agree with Gabriel Scally of Indie Sage who said this on Twitter and GMB.

Unless those friends and family have understood the risks and chosen to take them.  How about if granny is fairly sure this would be her last Christmas anyway and would prefer to barter 6 months of a miserable, lockdown life against a final blowout with family?  My guess is they're going to do it anyway no matter what govt attempts to decree.

You are probably correct hightail, people are despairing of ever seeing friends abd family again before they die. Its a sad situation with too many "experts" sticking an oar in.

Governments are picking their experts to suit the chosen narrative.  Most people have realised that now and are sick of it.  There might have been more compliance if the U.K. had acted as one but the games of one-upmanship between the different leaders just made them all look incompetent.

Oh there’s all that but much as we’re angry about that I don’t believe it’s what drives the every day behaviour of the public with regard to restrictions.

I think too much is made of those who are advertised as breaking the 'letter' of the restrictions

when jenrick, cummings et al can have 'interpretations' that excuse (praise) them anything.

 

I firmly believe the vast majority are obeying common sense acts keep those and their loved ones safe and well, with very few exceptions, despite the cretinous stupidity of the so called populist elite and their laws for everyone else but them.

 

You cant see your family ..

But your kids must go to school with teachers and assistants told to switch off their covid app while at school

and you can go into supermarkets without even a temperature check

 

You can't leave your home except for essential shopping

unless you are a populist minister like jenrick who can travel around three homes around the country at will

.. or Stanley Johnson and go where you like and do what you like

 

despite these abuses by the few - most are just trying to keep their loved ones safe in both body and mind.

It's being said online that other religions and communities have had their festivals cancelled this year because of Covid.

Christmas Day will still be Christmas Day whether we play charades with granny or not.  The difference between it and other religious festivals is that Christmas is a nationally recognised holiday.  It isn't religious for most people who 'celebrate' it one way or another, it's just more ingrained in the national psyche than others.

Or one of the many other acceptable reasons.  I'm having a great time doing a clearout as recycling centres are open this time round and travelling to one is on the list of OK journeys.

Anyway apparently the hapless Hancock is going to be Grinch, he is trying to get the other equally inept leader's Drakeford & Sturgeon to agree a national basically Zoom Christmas according to the Heil

 

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8969327/Matt-Hancock-dampens-hopes-major-loosening-rules-Christmas.html

 

And so as not to disappoint the children, NORAD that has tracked Santa's Sleigh on Christmas Eve, (a nice bit of fun for children worldwide)  with realtime online tracking so they can follow Santa's worldwide progress online are doing it again but with less phone access due to Covid

 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/sorry-grinch-virus-wont-stop-norad-from-tracking-santa-norad-tradition-volunteers-children-children-b1724697.html

 

Its been suggested on Social media that Matt Hancock has informed NORAD that  Santa's Sleigh will be shot down if it enters UK airspace to protect the children from Covid.

 

Its just that Hancock  seems devoid of any common humanity and is more like the Android David from Prometheus.  And the NORAD tracking is just a bit of fun that gives a bit of Christmas cheer, to the defence tracking system operatives.

lets also not forget that in my area a number of clinical NHS staff and many administrative NHS staff who come into contact with 100's of patients a day still haven't even had their flu jabs, despite repeatedly requesting them, due to 'none being available'
