The very word "global"invites thoughts meandering towards spherical objects. Which seems about right.A couple of amusing notes on the notion of "Global Britain"
The big question, who didn't we invade?
Even better
Top that eh?
What are we proposing to do for "Global Britain mark 2"?
Invade those who missed the chance of an "Independence day last time"?
Even if you are the only person on the planet that thinks you are,Being right, actual or assumed, is very satisfying.
.
We noticed!.Even if you are the only person on the planet that thinks you are,
works for me
So long as you don't care about being popularI so agree.
1.25% (* 2 as that is on employee and employer contributions - so 2.5% total)1.5%
Although taxing the economically active (individuals or companies) in the teeth of a pandemic while (predictably) leaving the inactive (entitled pensioners sitting on too much brick and mortar, property portfolios, myself in part included) and massive tax havens alone seem the most retrograde thing I've yet seen from this government.1.25% (* 2 as that is on employee and employer contributions - so 2.5% total)
That's effectively 2.5% on the total wage budgets of companies because most will be forced to make it up for their employees in pay rise to keep their take home pay to the same level.Boris slaps 1.5% on NI. Get in, my pension payouts are safe
Vitamin D may work as well.As someone who already takes regular B12, I have just seen this:
Drug repurposing based on a Quantum-Inspired method versus classical fingerprinting uncovers potential antivirals against SARS-CoV-2 including vitamin B12
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34401881/
With vitamin D it is very difficult to separate out the impact of adequate levels per se from any possible impact of additional dosing.Vitamin D may work as well.
I take routinely one multi-vitamin tablet a day.
Oyster... This is of personal interest to me. My father was a practicing GP for many decades, . He discovered ..I don't know when or how, but that B12 cured shingles . I can attest to this I got a rather painful dose of shingles ..chest to groin in the mid 1970s , . His cure was 4 or 6 shots of Welcome Labs B12 injected at 6 hour intervals over about 2 days..and it certainly worked. Sores drying up on the next day.As someone who already takes regular B12, I have just seen this:

I bunged in an obvious search and found a fascinating array of papers/case studies/etc. about B12 and various viral diseases.Oyster... This is of personal interest to me.

Welcome Labs did support him with some literature and ampoules on the understanding that he wiuld submit papers,. However nobody in those days would take anti virals seriously, and he was , as a busy District Medical Officer and Private practice eventually worn down and gave it up. He had a strong belief in B12 ,as a treatment for and as a lad, I often remember collecting the boxes from the local chemists. So he was using it in the 1960s..
I don't know why tax or NI has to go up to fund the NHS. Where's the £350m a week we were told about on the side of that bus?Although taxing the economically active (individuals or companies) in the teeth of a pandemic while (predictably) leaving the inactive (entitled pensioners sitting on too much brick and mortar, property portfolios, myself in part included) and massive tax havens alone seem the most retrograde thing I've yet seen from this government.
The half of that which did really exist is hypothecated for the Tory elite.Where's the £350m a week we were told about on the side of that bus?
Johnson doesn't so much gesticulate as testiculate.Starmer replied: “It was a yes/no question. You either clear the backlog or you don’t. And he can’t even say that he’ll do that. There we have it. Working people will pay higher tax. Those in need will still lose their homes to pay for care, and he can’t even say if the NHS backlog will be cleared. He gesticulates, but they are all breaking manifesto promises and putting up taxes on their working constituents.”
