Brexit, for once some facts.

Rather concerned at the proposed vaccine. Not what it is. But what it is called!

The Jenner Institute and Oxford Vaccine Group have been working on a vaccine, called ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, and said earlier this month large-scale production capacity was being put in place to make millions of doses even before trials show whether it is effective.

I've got a online shop coming tomorrow....although last time I did get charged for a giant Chicken pie that never arrived.

Ask you know who if you can have your pie back!

The dog ate my homework. I'll bring it in tomorrow. Or maybe the next day. And even if I don't bring it in, I might bring in the sheet with the title on it. Anyway, it really doesn't matter that 47,471 of the promised tests weren't done. Moses didn't make it to the promised land. Is it too much to hope...

Britain could miss its target of carrying out 100,000 coronavirus tests a day by the end of April, the justice minister, Robert Buckland, said on Thursday.

Some 52,429 tests were carried out on Wednesday, according to the latest figures, putting Britain on course to miss the target set by the health minister.

“Even if it isn’t met, we are well on our way to ramping this up,” Buckland told the BBC.

It's rare to describe continuous failures as "Ramping" though of course that is Boris's speciality

The advantage of a Vaccine that probably won't work is if the government enjoys it's usual success in not hitting it's promised target, it wont make any difference to the Death rate.
And the chances of analysing it's success or failure are so remote it will be easy to claim a "Roaring success" as no one can prove it isn't

It's rare to describe continuous failures as "Ramping" though of course that is Boris's speciality

Remember when people talked about "rampling"? As in this from 2012:

It was Barry Norman who first coined the verb "to rample" (def: "an ability to reduce a man to helplessness though a chilly sensuality"). Now, here's your chance to have your own words virtually rampled: Charlotte Rampling is in town this week to promote I, Anna, a new noir thriller told from the point of view of Rampling's femme fatale, who falls for the detective (Gabriel Byrne) in charge of a murder case.

AND

ramping
To sit around and do nothing and then complain about it.

I haven't read it but my immediate thought was: My goodness, medics who had treated someone who had voted Labour!

Followed by remembering Brian Redhead's indignation that a politician presumed to know how he voted. In this country with a secret ballot.

Possibly the obvious connection is that the medics work in the NHS established by Bevan who just happened to be a Labour Party politician...

imo most are out of money and it is the same around here

Not in this area, very far from it!

A google search revealed that there is in fact no such location in the British Isles that you can be "well on our way to" and certainly not one called "Ramping this up"

Ramps go down as well as up.

No criticism of Colonel Tom, at all.

But why can people go flying when I am not allowed to go driving (beyond necessity)?

Dual purpose, acts as a mask and maintains social distance.

It's about money as ever of course, he raised £30 millions in voluntary taxation to fund the NHS. That's money the government doesn't now have to spend on the NHS but can spend on armaments or MP's pay rises instead.

I have a degree of sympathy for Carrie Symonds, having to put up with the crying, whining, trying to work out what it wants from its burblings, the peeing, the shitting, and now on top of all that she has a baby to look after.

I know we have started to include non-hospital deaths, and that our record is not good, but this seems absurd

Did they roll in all non-hospital deaths for a week or more into a single day's numbers?

No of course not! the explanation is simple
They ran out of graph paper so used the margin.
Some swine had used it all up for DIY facemasks
