That wasn't part of partygate that I posted about. There's a difference between serious and inconsequential.

Brexit, for once some facts.

The government's own evidence over three years of Covid to date and all two years to date of the vaccines says I am right.
This is not a matter for opinion. I've simply used the government's own tools and data and reported what they say. That shows that we are being consistently lied to regarding the efficacy of the so called vaccines and in other areas as well.
.
You are wrong again. The Met Police refused to investigate and stuck to that for a long time, so the parties had no consequence.
It as only after a lot of foolish people kicked up a huge fuss that the police felt forced to investigate, so the outcome was a consequence of their misguided action, not of the inconsequential parties.
.
Not really, it's part of the same spectrum of behaviour. If, arguably, big pharma had undue influence on govt decisions during the pandemic, as you suggest, Boris' character is the key.
Possibly for you since you are clearly a severely medically compromised person.
I did get the original Covid infection in May 2020, a very unpleasant severe cold in effect, something I've not suffered from in many years, but with no problem despite my heart troubles. Realising early in 2021 that the AZ vaccines I was getting were not going to prevent me catching Covid, I relied on a big change in some aspects of my lifestyle to minimise any chances of catching it again.
I didn't get the Alpha and Delta variants so was successful in their respect but did catch the very infectious Omicron later.
Then the Pfizer booster caused me an extended chain of tachycardia heart attacks, something very easily triggered in me. Pfizer knew of this side effect but had hushed it up.
I can't see that there would have been any difference in my Covid infections had I not had any of the vaccines, and as just posted elsewhere, the government's own data supports that contention.
If and when a completely different vaccine turns up I will be as open to fully trying it as I was this last time. But I won't be as easily conned by any accompanying propaganda as most have been this time.
.
I stopped following the development of covid vaccines after I caught covid in last January. Still, I think the new RNA/DNA vaccine technology has had a useful financial boost albeit that only a few companies have received it.
The newest approved vaccine is Novavax. It's protein based so should offer better protection against variants, something that the early AZ, Pfizer, Moderna could not. It should also have fewer side effects.

I find it unsatisfactory that we will be offered a booster sometime soon-ish. But I sincerely doubt we will have anywhere to explain why we might refuse it.
I'm not an anti-vaccine person. But who will discuss, properly, with me the advisability or otherwise of the specific vaccine offered given my apparent issues? Will I be offered a different vaccine because of what seems to have happened?

I was originally against all RNA/DNA based vaccines but the risk analysis persuaded me to take the jabs. Luckily I did not experience any side effects. My reasons for opposing those types of vaccines have not completely gone away. However, I am happier with protein based vaccines.
By October, we should have some idea how the protein based vaccine Novavax performs. I expect protein based vaccines should be better tolerated by those who experienced side effects previously.
I found the video linked below very relaxing, apparently someone took a month to solve the puzzle, fortunately the LockPickingLawyer was a lot quicker than that! If you do decide to watch the video make sure you watch the complete thing as there is a little twist towards the end.

Johnson fallout continues:

Though Johnson proclaimed it as providing GPS (as well) as we are no longer fully in Galileo.
Which will now cost more now taken over by the French. Brexit continues to provide only bad news.
Still, as a budding third world nation I suppose we can go back to drumming on tree trunks to communicate with each other.

I am not sure that tiny satellites can do GPS because they lack the thrusters to reposition themselves. In the future, GPS can use stars instead of satellites.
There was much questioning of the idea when it was first put forward. But I think someone pointed out they don't need to provide full standard GPS - the idea is that they only need to provide whatever is needed to enhance accuracy. (And also, possibly, do something useful to ensure independence in time of conflict.)
I can see the small satellites being used in emergencies if the main GPS systems are down but for accuracy, you need to have superior and accurate positioning of your satellites, clock and other reference systems. Some professor of physics explain that without relativistic correction of the clock on the GPS satellites, our GPS will drift 1km a day. I reckon the military may use small satellites to guide their rockets because military targets usually black out known GPS signals in their proximity but that's just a relay job.
I've said from the outset that Starmer is Blair mark 2 and he's now made that clear with his promises:
1) No nationalisation, so we would be stuck with paying the shareholders of foreign companies their profits every time we pay our electricity, gas and water bills or catch trains.
2) Growth, which the British way always means yet more investment on borrowed money , ultimately making the rich richer and the nation poorer.
That is not in any way Labour or socialist government. It's New Labour, pseudo tory all over again.
I wonder who his "Gordon Brown" would be to take the rap when it all comes unstuck again?

although that is correct, our situation is not the same when Corbyn left (Dec 2019).
Our borrowings went from 80% of GDP to over 100%.
consider the alternatives. Can we borrow a vast sum of money to buy out EDF for example?
