The leftwaffe leaping in to confirm how common (Sir) Kier Starmer Is. :lol: Hold on a minute. I know nothing about Starmer and am not particularly interested, but it was posters of your ilk that persisted in using the sobriquet "Millionaire Keir Starmer". The implication is quite clear, even to som...

Keith posted a link - his father was telling the story about how Keir worked "in MY factory". Maybe he called it his factory because he was just emotionally attached to it. That's the proof. You don't think if his father owned a factory and he was consistently saying his father just worked there he...

his father was a factory owner. Not disputing this but where is this from? this is from Isabel Hardman in the spectator But Starmer is right to defend his background as it isn't what people say it is. His father worked in a factory as a toolmaker and his mother was a nurse. She was in and out of ho...

Starmar wasn't working class, his father was a factory owner and he grew up in a rich area in Surrey and independent fee-paying grammar school (though it didn't start that way).

Wasn't that wiki edit done by one of his team prior to his leadership bid to make him seem like one of the people? I seem to remember a small scandal quickly swept under the carpet by the media.

Blimey the micks love starmer!

So you want high grade masks to be owned and worn then not just cloth ones. Who’s paying for them? High grade masks are uncomfortable. Try wearing a builders FFP1 (lowest level) mask for 30 mins vs a cheap t-shirt mask you made yourself. The former is bloody uncomfortable and you WILL touch/adjust ...

The issue is that this is a quintessential Black Swan event. By it's nature, it is difficult to compute consequences given the lack of data but I think it's reasonable to postulate this will precipitate fundamental changes in consumer behaviour that will likely manifest in the further atrophying of...

China's method which was? Place the entire population under house arrest/lockdown. Lie about your numbers and say it worked and it's over. Say you've ended the house arrest/lockdown, when it still basically exists and it's the only thing preventing a massive outbreak, but has not defeated it. Myste...

Yep. That freedom stuff is very peculiar to us outsiders, alright.

Wow, looks like mud islands is in deep kak. Likely UK death toll is over 40,000 the official number only has those who died in hospital, a truer figure comes from looking at registered deaths and seeing how far above normal/average it is.

If you take it out of context maybe not but it was clear from fonz’s post and the reply by goeagles that fonz agreed with that they both think he has done an average job. Which doesn’t mean good. For the avoidance of all doubt: if you say something is "fine" or is "doing fine", it means mediocre. N...

Unfortunately I’m not that good at languages, but as I said, when listening to Swedish there are numerous cognates that I could recognize. This is from a limiting sampling mind. I’m also no linguist, but I remember some Hansa history, and middle low German, which by some definition s includes middle...

TBH, when I've listened to Swedish it sounds like a very easy language to learn. It sounds like most of the vocabulary is similar to Afrikaans/Dutch, and even though the pronunciation is different, I can still usually understand it.

Fast food is one of the last things on my mind. :) I just want to be able to work again, go to the pub for a few, and go to Quins.

As a springbok supporter I had a fairly relaxed view of thuggish play but the one player that stood out was troy flavell. Banned for eye gouging, stomping on another player's s head and punching Richard Hill in a barbarian's match. He also knocked out a handful of some bloke's teeth in a NZ bar.

You could actually assemble a quality backline. 10 Jackson 11. Sivi 12. Manu 13. Olding 14. Reece 15 and 9 are a bit tricky.

Anyone seen this 'Gates leak' stuff? If it's not a giant hoax, it suggests that COVID-19 is 'SARS mixed with AIDS'. I'm not a scientist but it seems unlikely that you can 'mix' two viruses like that.

This is a helpful measure - total UK deaths this year vs. average for same time in previous years. Shows deaths massively under-reported, and running just shy of double what's been reported as the hospital number so consistent with Spain's 50% in care homes and the home. https://www.telegraph.co.uk...
