    This from Dr Angelique Coetzee, the South African GP who knows more about its effects than anyone.

     

    'I alerted the wider world to Omicron, and I believe Britain is overreacting.'

    'A hard lockdown would slow the process of Omnicon making its way through the population and allowing people to develop the vital antibodies which will move the population towards 'herd immunity.'

     

    Like I said, nature is the best antivaccine in this case.

    No offence, but unless she's also a virologist- so what. She's also in country that has an average age 13 years younger than ours- quite important for a disease that ****s old people. And it's summer over there.

     

    Other than that, the situations are identical.

    So you agree its a bit suspect then?

    It's odd, I'd grant you that. 

     

    That or its been here longer than they realised. I did read today, less than half of covid cases are actually tested.

    Still no details on this mystery death WITH Omicron on Monday then, and still no others since?

     

    Hmm.

    It's been in the country about 2 weeks, if its like the other variants you won't see hospital cases related to it for about 3 weeks. Deaths - if there are any and isn't milder in about 4.

    Have to LOL at so many people viewing healthcare measures in the midst of a pandemic as a slide into authoritarianism, yet so few people opining about the latest legislative measures banning protests, removing citizenship without notice, disenfranchising millions with voter ID, making EU27 residents reapply for settled status after 5 years, and so much more.

    Agreed. Baker will be queueing up to strip rights off people. Wear a mask? The horror!

    The point is the ridiculous overhyped sensationalism applied by the newspaper. They are describing it as a "raucous party" which it clearly was not.

     

    A tiny gathering of colleages who were already in the workplace and had been no doubt for several days before and after the event does not make some national scandal.  At the time of this alleged debauchery London was in Tier 2. Yes yes we know about mixed household rules applying to domestic circumstances but let's not forget that under Tier 2, bars pubs restaurants, retail, indoor leisure, accommodation, personal services and entertainment venues were all still open. 

     

    The so-called great scandal of a buffet in the office kitchen with a small number of colleagues is nothing more than pot stirring by a desperate tabloid looking for a scalp.

    So, it's still a social thing - albeit a crap one - with caterers and wine and 20 odd people , a former mayoral candidate and a Tory donor, despite - if memory serves - the rule of six in place.  All at Tory high command.

     

    But yeah, hand wave it off. I'm sure you will when one at a labour shindig appears.

    Yep I was just laughing about that myself. The Daily Mirror as well and truly on one with this.   Dont know what their definition of raucous party is - but all I see is about 20 people stood around a very dull looking buffet. It's a sort of thing our office had regularly during many a lunchtime.

     

    Goodness sake it is obvious these people are at work. They are hardly dressed up for a night on the booze, drugs and debauchery.

     

    The press are really starting to overcook this and it's making themselves look ridiculous.

    Really? You looked at that picture, and thought - "yeah, that's fine, we did that". In December 2020 you got the caterers in and huddled together for a works group photo in December 2020? 

     

    And they're hardly going to get dressed up for it either.

    i do! the facts that speak for themselves i dont need to prove them, the fact is that there are countries much easier and closer to their terrible homelands, that is where they should be, the first safe country if you are saying thats the morality of it?

    no i dont want them here under any circumstances we have enough problems of our own already here bringing diseases and covid as none are checked until they are on our soil?

    we have an infrastructure which is crumbling already under the weight of immigration thats not xenophobia thats fact!

    schools overcrowded, hospitals overcrowded, roads, housing especially.

     

    as for being sensitive no not  that card , realist maybe, nationalist even.

    Not a fact. No facts at all.

    It isn't a care home, it's a specialist hospital. The nearest place offering the same/similar treatments is Barnsley which has no available places. He's been waiting over 7 months for a place. However he isn't getting the treatment he needs anyway. It is excruciatingly expensive but funded by the Care Commisioning Group as part of continuing care plan. The CCG were supposed to be at a recent meeting to discuss the issues but didn't turn up. 

    That might be a different thing altogether - I know some dementia sufferers end up in secure hospitals because they can violent - I'm not saying its the case here, I just know it happens. If it's a secure hospital - for whatever reason - maybe get somebody else to assess his needs?

     

    Covid - again - makes things harder. I wish you all best getting it sorted, it must be terrible for all concerned.

    Very good. So how about we start assuming the people in boats are all genuine unless and until proved otherwise and we could then start looking them after properly, helping them adjust to UK society and letting them work.

    Work? Perhaps in sectors which are short of staff? That's madness!!!!!!!

    Red alert, red alert, possible incoming data detected. It's very unfair of you to use evidence on 'them' ... oh and could you tell us where you found the data?

    Some lord took apart patels figures in the house of Lords. 70% (although some of that number needed an appeal).

    oh my you must have massive rose tinted specs on!! yes maybe they are given asylum that doesn't change the fact they are economic migrants ? why else would they not stop in italy, france, germany? why here a treacherous illegal crossing, come on common sense??? we are a soft touch we need to be like Poland!

    You get more money in France and Germany. Italy takes, what, 10 times the numbers we do. 

     

    They might speak English  they might have family here. If they were economic migrants, asylum wouldn't be granted.

    Yes take off the Rose tinted spectacles and we also remember the concrete block council house slums, the working hours, the working conditions, the lack of health and safety, the blatent sexism, the racism, xenophobia, the homophobia, the union bully boys, overbearing state control, useless public services and dinosaur nationalised industries raping the taxpayer of their already dwindling monies....

     

    Not all of us have such fond nostalgia. We read between the lines. We see the other side. We face up the realities that it was a lot all so wonderful back in the good old days.

     

    We don't all show complete distrust to anything related to self preservation, power and wealth and success as something that should somehow be by continually frowned up, criticised or rejected.

     

    We don't treat economic migration as something that should be objected to and restricted nor do we think corporate and employment globalisation is somehow the cause of all problems since the 1980s.

     

    Your vision and my vision is never ever going to agree let's face it.  This is certainly not the thread to be bringing all the same tired arguments up again.  We are starting to drift way off topic here.

    70% of people coming over on boats are given asylum. The economic migrants thing is largely horse****.

    There is actually. You can't just take someone out of a home, you have to go through the right channels and they can take forever. She now has an advocate working for her, and even she isn't able to get into the home. The lady's husband now has covid so wouldn't be accepted in many places, funding has to be sorted out etc etc etc. Besides which she can't even physically get into the home  which is kept locked.

    Remember last year that woman who took her mother out of her care home without permission  and ended up in jail for her trouble?

    Me and my mum shifted my dad without permission or blessing or anything. Social services were not involved - they didn't really care.  He'd been assessed by the new home during yet another hospital stay and we shifted him with a mobility taxi. 

     

    The home he's in has zero say in this.  Covid throws a spanner in the works, and there's an argument there must be a place ready for him, but I reiterate, it's not a prison (unless he's sectioned). 

     

    Ring round other homes and ask to speak to a manager there, they'll have a more up to date idea on how things are working now and if they'd take him.

    She's phoned several people including social care in the Town where her husband is, but people aren't getting back to her. It's now the weekend and things seem to close down over the weekend. She's been trying to get a face to face phone call through to him but struggles with tech. They say they'll help but he's asleep and they will do it when he's awake but then theyv'e forgotten. Say they're understaffed as some of the staff are off with covid.

    Find another home. There's no law he has to stay there. Get him assessed from the new home and if he's sufficiently mobile, stick him in a cab and take him there - and pick one closer, why two hours away?

     

    It's not a prison, she can take him out. And ring the CQC.

    The barrel was measured and it came withing the length of gun allowed. He was asked by businesses along with others to protect there businesses that had been burnt out the previous night. He was attacked by one man who tried to pull the gun out of his hand. He was attacked by another who had a pistol and he was attacked by another who hit him in the head with a skateboard. He was running away when the attacks happened and on the floor for two. A pistol was pointed at him. The crossing state lines is overblown. It's like someone going into NE Derbyshire from Sheffield. It's only a couple of miles. He had strong connections with the area, he didn't go to cause trouble, his parents live there and he has worked there. They were burning down his home town.

     

    Whether you agree with guns or not everything he did was legal. It's all on video. He's a good guy. He was cleaning graffiti from a building when he got the call. 

    A state line is a state line - I'm not overblowing it, it's their laws not mine.

    The Democrats and the left wing media and their followers wanted to put a young man in prison for life because of his political beliefs 

     

    Shame on them

     

    They are the true fascists 😡

    Didn't he kill 2 people with an illegally obtained weapon across state lines? What beliefs are those? Defend Footlocker until my dying breath?

     

    It's an odd result. I know if I was to go to a  peaceful protest I would go tooled up. Which is better for everyone.

    It's a very fair question. I checked, it's a three day a week role so that's not executive territory.  By the same token, surely it's really only a divisive proposal among people who are on the wrong side of popular feeling and lose elections? Big picture!

     

     

     

    Nick Clegg? Now you're just being silly :) 

    I'll do it for half the cost as Dacre and be twice as good.
