I couldn't understand this when the story first came out. I have not seen the video just the picture on the front page of the Sun, but in the video Hancock can be seen looking out into the corridor to make sure no one was going to come along and interrupt them. So I was wondering how could...

Limited evidence obtained from CCTV in Australia indicate encounters of just 5 or 10 seconds walking past each other in an indoor shopping area was enough to catch the Delta variant. If this is genuinely the case then those countries that have not done many vaccinations are going to be in...

We heard today some really bad news, this chap is having his leg amputated as it is his only chance of survival however it is only a very small chance.

I mentioned the other day that a GP that my wife knows had come down with Covid, even though he had had both jabs, did you see the Marr programme this morning? Andrew Marr said that he had just got over a bout of Covid, he thinks he probably caught it at the G7 meeting a few weeks ago. He also...

When the man at the top has all kinds of personal floors (basically a mini Trump) then it is hardly surprising that people at the top of Government will think they can get away with anything.

Your absolutely right, governments tend to take their lead from the person at the top, everyone knows Boris is a liar and a cheat and it doesn't seem to have done him any harm so why would his underlings act any different?

I may have spoken to soon about this person doing well, I have just had a phone call to say that he has been induced into a coma, I can't imagine the Hospital would do that if he was getting better, that seems rather serious to me.

I too have been noticing this for a while now, there was something on the TV the other day about how difficult it was since Brexit to get EU drivers to work over here. Many driving company employers said they were at least 10% short of their normal number of drivers and some said they had even...

On the lunch time news they said that around 20% of recent Hospital Covid admissions had one jab and more worryingly 20% of the admissions had both jabs. The numbers are still very small (lets hope they stay that way) but what is not clear is the following. None of the vaccines are 100%...

My wife was talking to a GP on the phone today, he was feeling unwell and is self isolating with Covid. The GP had both vaccine jabs probably over 6 months ago now. I wonder if the vaccine effectiveness is starting to wear off, or is the Delta variant finding it easier to over come the...

Yes over 16,000 cases today, the highest total since early February and a fair bit higher than last Wednesdays total of just over 9000. Downing Street also said they were watching for any potential spread of the so called Delta Plus variant but at the moment this did not seem to be spreading...

This piece on Brexit and NI Brexit ‘purity’ is breaking up the union. Just ask the people of Belfast | Nick Cohen | The Guardian and this one on the Delta variant are worth reading. Covid: Why has the Delta variant spread so quickly in UK? - BBC News

Yes but other countries haven't got an idiot like Boris in charge. One did not need to be some kind of Covid expert to see in early April what was happening in India. All one had to do was just watch the news (it was the same in China and Italy early last year). Boris was desperate to meet...

I've just been reading some rather worrying stats about the Delta (Indian) variant from an article in the guardian linked below. In summary:- CV cases in England rising at their fastest rate since the winter wave. 96% of Covid cases in England are now down to the Delta variant. The Delta...

I have recently bought a Triumph Street Triple R motorcycle, I did consider buying the next model up (The RS model) but the extra £1500 cost mainly benefits people who ride track days. I have never done a track day, and can't really see myself ever wanting to do one either. I was reading in...

£999 seems extremely expensive to me, even if you managed to get it for £500 I think there are better alternatives what do you all think? Want to turn your bicycle into an e-bike? Here’s just the gizmo | Cycling | The Guardian

It is certainly not over yet. I know two people who have caught it in the last couple of days. Both had been vaccinated but only with one dose. It seems as though one dose gives very little protection to the Indian (Delta) variant. Schools appear to be where the virus is now thriving. This...

I heard reports from several experts over the weekend that they were really worried about the way the Indian variant was spreading and what might happen if all restrictions or most restrictions come to an end on the 21st of next month. The vaccine seems to work very well against this new...

I think you could well be right, if we do not get a really bad winter re the corona virus and the economy is doing reasonably well next spring then I can see BJ calling an election around April or May time next year prior to any major investigation into how the virus was handled. I also think...

Yes, he also seemed to think a lot of Dominic Rabb which rather surprised me.
