Sounds like the Welsh. :P Other than re the matter of money, of course. I have been led to believe the Welsh TV monies are real and substantial. Well-respected boredists assert they have seen vast hoards of Welsh TV monies glistening in the pale Cymric moonlight. The Welsh have been flashing AWJ's ...

I don't know, the economic turmoil in the air could work both ways but yes might have the profound effect that you are (I think) suggesting.

Doc Rob is right. 'Once in a generation' was stated, this is true, however had Brexit not been a thing then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Fun fact....
Johnny Cash traced his ancestry back to Fife and paid a visit there in 1981, where amongst other events he sang in a local church with local school kids, one of who was my sister aged 8 at the time.

The idea of closing the borders to the english had them spaffing up the walls in joy. And of course they don't like us, their innate superiority due to them living in a separate part of the country is the whole point.

We don't dislike the English. We just dislike you.

There will be a lot of revisionism around how people thought we should have locked down earlier. People were dying in their thousands and we were still picking cvnts up pished from house parties. There's no chance the UK would have been able to handle locking down earlier than we did. I appreciate ...

Former Government advisor Professor Neil Ferguson has just told Commons Science Committee:

"Had we introduced lock down measures a week earlier we would have reduced the final death toll by at least a half"

So why didn't they?

Off course we need increase in immigration to sustain our economy and grow the working age population, and of course these workers should bring their families and settle here. They work in poorly paid jobs to sustain our care sector and look after our mums and dads, grannies and grandpas and contri...

Just to pick up on a point - someone earlier said that the UK locked down 10 days late. So if the UK had locked down 10 days earlier, what would the difference actually have been? I would suggest, that other than the cases developed from Cheltenham and Liverpool, actually very little. Right now we ...

The Dundas stuff is why the "statues are needed for history" stuff is total nonsense. I studied history to advanced higher and he wasn't mentioned once.

I see there’s calls for the Dundas statue in St Andrews square to go following the demise of Colston in Bristol. Not sure there’s quite as much traction as there was down South but wouldn’t be surprised if Nicola jumps on the bandwagon should it prove politically astute. Was Dundas an actual slave ...

I wonder why? The scientists don't seem to agree at the moment.

Edit, he wants to 'reduce it' from the current 2m

So you’d fire him for his wife’s actions?

Have to say I am enjoying this thread. Good rational discussion and debate of the issues and when the usual idiots come in trying to derail it they are being roundly ignored.

There were also photos of one part of the long, long queue in to vote, on a long corridor, where the MPs were dutifully maintaining the 2m gap before them; but unfortunately the corridor was so narrow that MPs who had voted, had to walk past all the MPs waiting to vote, with probably less than a me...
