So where are you getting all this info?

Read this a few years ago (well before CV19) and might give it another go over Christmas. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Germs-Genes-Civilization-Epidemics-Science/dp/0137019963/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=1F5V6TVX6Z3IS&keywords=genes+civilization&qid=1639427121&sprefix=genes+civilization%2Caps%2C60&sr=8-1

Thanks. Actually my follow up is Are you on Facebook? Had my booster today. Moderna, after AZ AZ. Plenty of people I know have not had Pfizer.

I know 3 families whose kids have brought home CV this week. Seems to be rife in the schools now.

My kinda party! 🤩

GOTO online auction - sounds sus and would probably put normal buyers off.

Climate change is fuelling human migration. 😂 Deal with it.

Absolute clownery

App is well crashy for past few weeks on mobile (IOS) Reload reload reload.

All my bank cards have switched over to mastercard this year. Visa might go the way of Betamax.

How on earth do you misspell Corbyn?

Ha! She looks after herself, good height too. But JB’s a chap I can imagine having an ordinary convo with. He seems normal (likes attention but they all do).

I like Bercow.

I hope you do, and a big turkey (or similar quality vegan meat substitute) too. Labour are like those parents who want to be their kids' friends and can't understand why they have no authority.

The human mind is capable of holding two opposite views simultaneously.

No need for that I wish Labour all the very best, kind regards, sincerely and so forth. But they're too afraid of being cancelled to get into power.

Since you're posting on HPC I regret to inform you that you have died and are now in hell.

There will always be lying, thievery and cronyism in politics. But to ignore fundamental human biology, that there are only two sexes and that the female sex class suffers because of the female materiality of their bodies, is unforgiveable. I don't like lying and thieving politicians, I despise them. But they are understandable. To want to erode and destroy women's rights by removing the WORDS they use to describe themselves is a trait of authoritarianism. (Think there may be some sort of famous book that mentions the compelled changing of language??) Left wing authoritarianism is not acceptable. The liars and money grubbers are abhorrent, but the self-righteous fury of the dictatorial woke left is more dangerous.

That scene where he's at the kindergarten and gets the whisper in his ear about the 9/11 attacks...yeah, easy to laugh at him. Johnson in the same position would probably prat fall off his chair, fart audibly, and scramble on his knees into a cupboard. I don't say this lightly (not a Blair fan in the slightest) but he is completely correct in that Labour could gain significant ground if Starmer and co rejected wokeism. For me as a voter, it's the deciding factor. But when Starmer can't even answer 'what is a woman' there's no chance.

I don't care if Starmer is boring. John Major was boring, and now he's rebranded as a sensible voice of the real conservatives. But we do get the leaders we deserve. USA deserved Trump. UK deserves Johnson. We're in that particular phase of masochism; deliberately making ourselves poorer, less relevant, less important on the world stage while fielding a floppy fat wind-up toy to wheeze out nationalistic platitudes and placating lies. The entire world views us as a laughing stock - and we like it that way.

Indeed. And it's inevitable. But no one really wants to talk about it, and in some quarters you're deemed racist/eugenicist/Malthusian for even raising the topic. Which is why I keep reiterating on here that when talking and planning our housing needs we should be looking at 20/30/40 years ahead (unless you have no children and no plans for any, in which case crack on). Your point about liberal democracy is spot on. When the special, self-absorbed, purple haired theybies have a choice of maintaining their own comfy lifestyle or lowering it dramatically to accommodate others, I expect some tantrums.
