Brexit, for once some facts.

The people asked mostly seem almost proud of their ignorance. Hey, yes I went to high school, and I know I am utterly ignorant of world geography - even to the point of not identifying my own country. Just what did they learn in high school?

Trump - very anti science and news - except where it serves his vain glory (rush to the moon / mars while cutting back on earth sensing sats) - was about to move his agenda into schools where he wanted to dictate what was to be taught (see his 1776 'patriotic eduction' plan) along with academia. He was hell bent on replacing in all layers of society loyalists to promote and carry out his vision. i.e making his very own 'swamp' with his own family members central in that scheme...

I know there are a few people on this thread who question The Donald’s suitability for the Presidency of the USA. Be in no doubt, his judgment is in no way questionable.

Take this lady for instance. The Donald appointed her as his personal spiritual advisor.

There is absolutely nothing wrong or bizarre here and if you still support Biden after watching it, well there is no hope for you.

Amen.

How to recite a version of The American Creed hand on heart and how to avoid learning anything else.

Umm, I was like totally convinced except for one thing.

Wiki says this about her:

White is a proponent of prosperity theology.[1][54] Along with other televangelists who have made millions of dollars through the prosperity gospel, her ministry Without Walls was the subject of an inconclusive 2007–2011 Senate Finance Committee investigation with which she refused to cooperate. The committee had investigated financial improprieties that could have affected the religious organization’s tax-exempt status.

The Holy Tax Exemption and Evasion.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak is set to extend furlough until March, sources have told the BBC.
The full details will be unveiled in a statement in the Commons shortly.

So thats approx another 5 months and counting..at a cost to the taxpayer of??

The chickens always come home to roost

From the BBC News App.

People travelling abroad for the purpose of assisted dying will not be breaking coronavirus travel rules, the health secretary has said.

What was the alternative position considered? If Handcock hadn’t granted permission and people did go abroad to die, what would the penalty have been?

Can’t see the point of going abroad anyway. May as well stay here and let The Health Secretary & the Jockey do the job in Blighty.

I was hoping he was going to end it immediately in Liverpool. The idiots were out setting fireworks off at the police last night. Clearly they have enough money and don’t need furlough if they are buying fireworks? Plus, if they are comfortable congregating in large groups, they may as well be back at work.

There's quite a good analysis in this video. Robert Barnes is a walking (sitting) encyclopaedia. He seems to know everything that ever happened in history. he explains all the options and scenarios that might play out moving forward. You can skip to 8:30 where the main analysis starts. The Viva Frei guy is a bit partisan, but Barnes isn't. He's like a machine, just spewing out facts and laws. He's a top lawyer specialising in tax and banking fraud. He certainly seems to know what all the bad guys are up to on both sides.

The current average daily infection rate is 22,000 in the UK. That is just over 8 million a year, so it seems we might possibly reach herd immunity before we get world wide vaccines administered.

That could leave lots of us with egg on our faces, Boris Johnson cock-a-hoop and Dominic Cummings getting honoured as Lord Cummings-here-often of Barnard Castle and entering the House of Lords.

That's the official rate. ONS would argue the unofficial rate is between 59k and 100k a day. But herd immunity would mean - as arguably in africa - a large recovered/healthy/young population with antibodies who dont experience problems. Not 4k deaths a day as part of an infected large dying/unhealthy/older population being turned away from overflowing hospitals to die at home without care.
Edit - but, sickeningly, I agree a lord boris and cummings leaching the taxpayer of more money forever more is inevitable. We should all emigrate.

As I posted, could, not will.

And I've calculated in the death rate as helping towards enough infected for herd immunity since the population will be reducing year by year.

As to the antibody argument, I refuse to believe that immunity to a disease is impossible, and if it is, there's no point arguing since we'll all die anyway.

Wouldn't it be grand if someone unearthed a law which said that you have to publish your tax returns before you can launch a court case?

Trump will fail anyway. The State courts wouldn't dare rule that counting must stop and the Supreme Court cannot and will never make such a ruling, bringing itself and the USA into disrepute.

Trump in his megalomania is either too stupid to see that or simply doesn't care about harming his country just to get his more stupid supporters agreeing with him that they were cheated.

Fraud, Fraud and more Fraud,

That would have been very worrying had it been true. But luckily it's not true:

"According to the Wisconsin Election Commission, the “State of Wisconsin had 3,684,726 active registered voters on November 1, 2020.” It’s unclear where the “3,239,920” number shown in the above-displayed tweet comes from.

As of this writing, The New York Times reports that a total of “3,296,836” votes have been cast in Wisconsin. In either case, the number of votes counted does not exceed the number of registered voters.

So where did the “3,129,000 registered voters” statistic come from? The 2018 midterms. "

Hmmmm. Barry I'm not sure how this video makes your point. This gal - preacher - apparently supports Trump - and yet you're suggesting that this somehow demonstrates the weakness of Biden (not Trump)'s candidacy.

I don't understand. How does showing this weaken Biden's candidacy?

Honest question btw.

The problem with that being, it’s likely that herd herd immunity doesn’t exist. Any sort of immunity may wear off after a while.
