Brexit, for once some facts.

What I witnessed was an empty hospital. 4 years ago, I was in the same ward. A manager came round every day to see who they could kick out to make room for somebody else. This time in July, there were only two patients in the ward with 8 beds for most of the time I was there.

Perhaps your experience was similar to mine. A large number of people are refraining from attending hospitals for the very legitimate fear of contracting CV19. The number of people attending their doctors has also decreased for both reasons .. doctors reluctant to ask them to call, and patients fearful. There are other reasons as well. I suspect the incidence of workplace accidents, road accidents, common colds etc are all reduced. ..Less people at work, less traffic, more social distancing . Despite any statements to the contrary, and numbers of well published cases, people are not lemmings and have adjusted their behaviour.
The problem of not going to doctors or dentists is that the underlying causes do not go away.
My A&E visit in mid September,was to an almost empty place .. extremely busy usually ,but clients voted with their feet.

When the elderly, the weak and the feeble have been wiped out, the daily death rate will decline. The younger fitter people left behind will survive in greater numbers per 1000 infections.

..That is true, and then the spectre of Long Covaid emerges. There will be a fraction of those otherwise healthy youngsters in for a lifetime of debilitating illnesses

hospitals Covid wards are now 3/4 full.
1300+ new Covid admission each day.
It won't be long (1-2 weeks) before the hospitals hit crisis level.

Not really that jocular, is it?
You need to keep your racist beliefs to yourself and not spew them over a public forum

Freud was Jewish. He believed what distinguished Jewish humour from those of other groups was that they made in- jokes - i.e. about themselves rather than other groups.
That's why he made the joke about jews.
For freud displacement of attribution was when one displaced an attribute of the self that is unacceptable onto another. A bit like projection. A bit like when you (oh, sorry, let's say "vfr") felt og read sinister stories in the media, believed it and found himself in a nightmare world. Which sounds an awful lot like vfr's conspiracy infused reality (disowned)
The joke plays on the person hearing it's displacement of attribution in shifting attention from something acceptable (bathing) to socially unacceptable (stealing). A bit like us flirting with the concept of nicola' knickers (or not)
See, now its neither funny nor provocative anymore. Though, since I'm jewish (matriarchal), I value Freud's reference to in jokes. Being able to laugh at ourselves, and half true stereotypes about ourselves (as OJ allude to) seem a lot more liberating than the grandstanding you're doing.

 

[vfr400]

God-forbid some of those stereotypes are real though huh? It's how we culturally rub up against eachother.


Racist? So all stereotypes are now invalid? Is that what you want?

Their rules, not mine.

What about the TSIW? Her government knowingly sent hundreds of COVID positive people to care homes and deliberately withheld that information from the homes. Where is your criticism?

You are so biased it’s impossible to do anything except take the pi$$ on this forum and generally be a disruptive nuisance.

Steady there Super Bicycle Repair Man covers that function 100%

Perhaps. In some african countries (south africa) a hypothesis is that hats why infections are now less (a kind of herd immunity). But they have pyramidal demographics, lots of young - we have bell shaped (lots of old). Theres an awful lot of dying before we have a developing countries demographics

Correct; and South Africa is the worst in Africa. Other countries with much poorer health systems (such as Malawi where our daughter lives) are so far doing well. Even bigger proportion of young, and a huge amount of daily life is outside.

 

[oldgroaner]

You are guilty of one of the finding of the report, people trying to pass of the very real Jew Hate as merely being criticism of Israel, ie downplaying the problem of actually hating Jews.

The report also said the Labour Party tried to pretend that the issue was being over exaggerated. So what has Corbyn said in his response to the report? That the problem was overstated by political opponents. What a clown, you couldn't't make this stuff up.

Hopefully Starmer will purge the nasty, Jew hating, envy politics Corbyn clones from the party and give us something that we could entertain the idea of voting for.

I wonder why the commission didn't uncover any evidence of racial prejudice against any other race or ethnic group in the Labour ranks?
Surely with what is it 600,000 members there must be others?

 

[oldgroaner]

I think that history will rank Trump as one of the best presidents.

I love it...... exquisite satire... he's the best all right at Tax avoidance, and when you say that you've pretty much said everything.

I entered EHRC into Google and this popped up at the top:

Equality and Human Rights Commission. Promoting and upholding equality and ... Leaving a more resilient EHRC. by David Isaac. 6 Aug 2020.

David Isaac is one of their top people, with a 100% Jewish name.

Don't you believe in co-incidence?

My Christian name is Jewish and my surname is Nazi. Do they cancel out, or am I both?

My three names are Scottish, Irish and English. When I go into a bar I tell a joke about myself.

Interesting things happening in the US elections. Trump has stopped campaigning in Florida because he thinks he has it already sown up. Whoever wins Florida, usually wins overall. In the meantime, Biden has come out of his basement and started campaigning in Minnesota, which has been a democrat stronghold for 50 years. The only logical reason would be that he's seeing it slipping away.

All the Trump side think they're winning and seem to be very confident. The Biden side say they're winning, but they never seem to be happy. The polls are saying Biden at the moment and so are the bookies.

5 more days to go. It's becoming very exciting. We have the aftermath to keep us entertained too. That should be very interesting.

 

[RossG]

Trump's very worrying, we already know covid has affected his brain but that's not really noticeable under the circumstances. Now on one of his speeches I've just been watching he said "we're all social distancing here" but all his disciples behind him were crammed together like sardines, does this mean his eyesight is on the blink too I wonder ? We know he's been affected physically by the way he can no longer turn his head at the neck having to move his whole body to look round, poor sod not funny I've put my neck out a few times when I've been Wolf Whistled.

usually, but may be not this time.
Trump has a very big hill to climb and he runs out of time and money.

Sprezzatura, it works better if one nonchalantly rolls ones arse and glimpse out of the corner of an eye (it's easier on the vertebra).

So the EHRC is a Jewish conspiracy?

The hard left really is a nasty, envious and destructive sickness. Thank goodness Corbyn was defeated at the last election. With all of their corruption, incompetence and contempt for the public, I’d still vote Tory a 1000 times over to keep the hard left out of office.

 

[Woosh]

part of the report said:
quote:
“While freedom of expression is essential to proper political debate, politicians must recognise the power of their language to sow division. Our recommendations provide a foundation for leaders to make sure that they adhere to equality law and demonstrate their commitment to diversity and inclusion through their words and actions.”

I wonder what vfr makes of it when Trump is n longer president.

 

[Barry Shittpeas]

Quick question;

I've been helping a lad who comes on my bike rides with his engineering studies (maths). He's asked me about this and I have admitted defeat. It will take me a while to get back up to speed on this and I'm quite busy this week. anyone able to help him please? (I'll pass the credit on).
