Think 5G is bad just wait until your great-grandkids get 10G...

What calibre is it?

Sneeze guards are for show. Not actual protection...

Washing my hands for 20 seconds. Covering my mouth and nose when I coughed or sneezed, and avoiding large crowds of people has been my MO for the last 12 years. On a slightly different note I hope this will finally kill off the all you can eat casino buffet...

Maybe them mussies are onto something?

Posted this earlier on another thread... Why 'Death Rates' From Coronavirus Can Be Misleading

The used him up... Sleep well Bill

I don't think so but I'm not the one paying it! Value is subjective. That's why people are buying bog-roll at a grand a go. If people are all right with that then crack on. I ain't going to cry when they're struggling though...

Hardly surprising if you can offset your sick pay on charity... I see Starbucks, Google, and eBay are keeping shtum too... Good job we can't look to closely!

Kidney problems in 2002. Heart transplant in 2003. Hospitalised for heart failure but died of C19? This 24/7 reporting isn't helping a panicked nation when he had a ton of unrelated health issues to begin with. I'm hoping more people are going to look at this critically when the dust settles.

You're right mate but the whole bailout concept doesn't sit well with me at all. I believe corporation tax is bollocks. It's shouldn't be levied on business. Not that any of them pay it anyway as they pay large sums of money to people for the sole purpose of moving their money away from where it can be touched. On the flip side of that argument I also believe that these corporations should be 100% accountable to the free market in the sense that as they don't pay into this system they shouldn't be the primary beneficiaries of the bailouts. Whether this applies to the Premier League I don'

Comedian wouldn't be the word I'd use but the whole legal fiasco made for a grim precedent indeed. A fine and a suspended sentence wasn't enough for some advocates for hate speech laws and I read shortly after that they were looking into strengthening sentences for those alleged crimes. Again while I disagree with what he did. I equally disagree with the knee-jerk reaction to it. The action was draconian and simply feeds the beast that always lurks in a society with two-tier equality.

Nothing wrong with using the hypothetical situation, in any situation, but having no experience with your chosen scenario, in this case, I honestly have a hard time answering the question and it may seem like I'm either avoiding or ducking the issue. I'm not just don't know how to give the answer you're looking for. When I used to be a mod on this forum, many electoral cycles ago, I used to receive regular abuse via PM. Even had a few death threats because people didn't like what I did. They simply didn't believe that I supported their free speech. The reality was that this is a private

On the face of it, it does. Does it pass scrutiny? In the US the stimulus bill was rushed through and passed very quickly with little of the traditional oversight. The powers have since ruled that the scrutiny insisted against corporations will now not be looked at. Essentially the government have given several corporations a blank cheque to spend as they please with the oversight now removed.

I always reserved screaming for rugby matches to be honest. In the scenario you give I honestly don't know how to answer it. I've never encountered that situation so it's hard to answer. When it happened to me I shrugged it off. Being verbally assaulted never really bothered me that much. Sure I'd have preferred not have been there but I've encountered worse on here! That might sound like I'm trying to sidestep the question but I'd only want legal recourse if my kids were physically assaulted. They've grown up in a small town and now they're older teenagers. My youngest is 17. Middle 18

Wouldn't that depend on your action? If someone came screaming obscenities of any kind, at my kids when they were younger they'd be paid in kind. Freedom of speech should be absolute but that doesn't mean it doesn't have consequences. Fair. Of course the next step is define where the line between abuse and criticism is. Easier to just make the individual responsible for their own speech.
-
Only the extreme examples will use the extremes. The individual gets to decide what the abuse level is, and act accordingly, but I'm firmly in the belief that limitations on speech shouldn't exist. Speak your piece. You'll receive your own peer review!
-
Fair. My own naivety would expect someone that actually wants to improve the lives of his fellow countrymen. My own reality wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them. I suppose I'm looking at this wondering why someone would want to repeat those mistakes then it dawns on me that a lot of people don't think that it was a mistake. Why wouldn't you have the right to act on it? The freedom of speech should be absolute. The government roll should be to protect the right not to promote any view other than that of the individual. Anyone here can speak as they please. Anyon

But this is fighting bullsh*t with bullsh*t. Replacing an arguably corrupt system with another isn't a remedy, IMHO. Especially when you sprinkle on what at the current view appears to be a unhealthy seasoning of authoritarianism. It remains to be seen but this isn't an improvement. They're already sub-dividing their system with anti-antisemitism if indeed that is what they're doing. Not at all. You reset the system and uphold that right to free-speech. You break a system by removing individual rights. You can't fix it by simply turning it on it's head. If this was to be a success

How many conspiracies are rolled into that? I'm off until Monday but that's a lot of mental gymnastics!

Parts 6-10 compiled are an hour and a half! WTF is all that about?!

@WILF what do you think of Hungary's new education curriculum that Orban has just released? Personally I have no issue with some of the nationalist rhetoric but pushing propaganda, revising past mistakes and removing them all together? Isn't that exactly what we're saying was Britain's problem in the last few decades?
-
I'm the same but the realist in me is a pain in the arse! I'm sure there's an option in there that would allow a domestic manufacturer to operate but also increase substantially under emergency conditions but not working in that kind of industry I wouldn't know what that blend is. I'm supplied PPE in my industry but I do my research and usually replace it with my own gear. It's usually more expensive but I justify that against the quality/longevity ratio. Also my life depends on it and I'm sure many of the THL regs will understand 'Your Best Gear Is Made By The Lowest Bidder.' Taking from

Same mate! THL has had some belters over the years too! Problem here is people are dying over some of this misinformation and it's coming in from everywhere. I'm sure some people here are panicked too whether they'll admit it or not. My concern levels are certainly a lot higher than they were a month ago and will go up when I have to return to my essential industry on Monday morning. The point is we shouldn't be feeding this particular conspiracy at this time. Sh*t posting about aliens and the moon landing is one thing but maybe try and dig for actual facts about this illness from
