    coffee morning [ we only drank tea !] was a rather balmy affair, guess it was the boredom of the past 3 weeks events! did spend quite a bit analysing the next 9 games though [ even the 2 gas !] split into 3 groups after the 40mins was up and restarted after 20 mins consensus was city will get 17 pts ..the same as Fulham and 2 more than WBA and 4 more than LEEDS!! We concluded that the resulting table would be a tie on 72 points for 2 teams in 5th and 6th.[ city Brentford ]
    This was after selecting 2 games from each team by another team [ round robin how apt ] but not involving city ] were reversed a draw became home win . original forcast was city joint 6th on points with Cardiff … gd ?

    on the protests and subsequent interviews via SKY ITV BBC …. blackpeople giving their opinions for and against the present conflict [ our whole coffee morning collective is ALM btw] none would address both sides of history just condemn [ mostly] the slave trade... which I am sure in hindsight we all do now … but we make light of the 1000's of lives lost from 1600 to present day in the pursuit of piracy and stripping and wiping out nations in pursuit of getting that wealth and was the main factor of the piracy that we glorify today …. maybe France Portugal England and the main villians Spain should seek out the surving Inca's Mayans etc and return the £5 10+++ bn they looted. ALSO BEARING IN MIND that these pirates were often sanctioned by their countries and were crewed by multi racial persons!

    did anyone notice the number of infected by Covid had actually gone up in a week during latest figures …

    Absolutely, but all of those facts have been conveniently forgotten or overlooked John

    As for numbers of infections creeping up again, with people flocking to beaches in May, going on marches close to many others over the past couple of weeks, and generally behaving irresponsibly following the Dominic Cummings debacle, and allowing for the incubation period, is anyone surprised ?

    Angel ................. Departed due to C-19 … high hundred again [173]
    there was a parliamentary committee session this afternoon scientific --covid-19 missed the start but Prof Hay was the major person [immunology ]I did understand chunks of it, but some whistled over my head!

    children
    … apparently swab tests on children [ 5 upwards - to 16? ] show the same result % wise as having the disease but show no signs! however although they carrying it, it is unclear how they do not give to family but can to others. They seem to have the memory cells to deal with the complexity of building up immunity.

    adults
    … a critical age for immunology to "deteriorate" is 30 -35! the research being done is that the virus affects the vascular system, the very fine veins in particular [?] ( a ? in brackets is " I think I understood it ) has an adverse effect on their function. Older people brain [memory cells] are less likely to be able to provide enough info to "operate/ generate [?] " the immune system to combat the disease. It is also a factor that the bodies response is more energetic, uses more energy, to fight higher amounts of initial infection, generating anti bodies & fighting thrombosis effects, (vascular element ) [?] = higher temperatures?
    it is probably on I player somewhere …..

    A further comment reference Africa was why they haven't had a serious outbreak … answer lay in that lock down was premature!!!!! [?] and no time to "shop" so people were starving so had to lift lockdown before they starved to death! July is the danger period for them. PREVIOUS COMMENTS REF certain ethnic backgrounds would indicate it may be quite serious.

    As a person, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me "Privileged", a racist & responsible for slavery.
    I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget & support myself and my family.
    I went to School & have always held a job. I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged”.
    I am heterosexual, which now makes me a homophobe. I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.
    I am older than 50, making me a useless eater who doesn't understand Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat.
    I think & I reason, and I doubt much of what "mainstream" media tells me, which makes me a "Right-wing conspiracy nut”.
    I am proud of my heritage & our inclusive British culture, making me a xenophobe.
    I believe in hard work, fair play, & fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.
    I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies which makes me a borderline sociopath.
    I believe in the defence & protection of Great Britain for & by all citizens, now making me a militant.
    I am proud of our flag, what it stands for and the many who died to let it fly, so I must be an imperialist and a racist.
    Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!
    Funny - it all took place over the last 5 or 6 years !!
    If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which f**king toilet to use !!

    how true is this for most of us ! [ copied ]

    finally got round to seeing the video of the Brixton aftermath 0430 am today i could not believe the attitude of the person interviewed stated "we was all having a good time when the police appeared and spoilt it" if there is another spike there will be a lot of guilty people who have gambled on not getting it didn't see many face coverings unless they were smashing up police cars, more money for the London police to fork out and because they do not have "insurance" comes out of their budget [third party only ] and who pays for that nowa days … the innocent people of BRIXTON AND SURROUNDING AREAS. Police stated quite a few more are going to be arrested.

    Bournemouth, what a fiasco very few toilets no cafes and very little parking like sardines on the beach noticed the death rate is creeping up again!!!! Hope the traffic wardens were out in force a lot of people had no where to park/ go when they came home from work … if it didn't affect all of us I would like to say "I hope they suffer from their selfishness" but I wont …

    ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL …. I believe All Lives Matter … not a just a chosen few [ last creature I saved ….a caterpillar from being walked on ]

    Modern day slavery … ONE OF THE MOST BRAZEN COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD...… CHINA is /has become a powerful nation based on modern day slavery.. which goes back centuries. One of the worlds worst countries for human rights, they now wish to break their written promise to HONG KONG. Over night the UK .gov gave a welcoming hand to 3 million plus HONG KONG 'ers which is really p**s**g off the soaked in lavishness of the Chinese heirachy who live in luxury whilst "the peasants" from an early age churn out cheaply made copies of items at rock bottom prices .. sold at vast profits .. and yet live in poverty .. and in a lot of cases under an iron thumb …..
    however where will we put 3million + HONG KONG 'ers? .. that's a place with all the utilities ...water sewage etc the likes of which Bristol .. Cardiff and Glasgow need and has taken decades to implement and in most places is in need of expansion... plus another 2 million cars on our roads! ..HOPE THE CHINESE SEE'S TE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS ……
    also note a few companies are winding down on the BLM thing as it becomes apparent there is now more in it than just treating all people equal …. it is becoming a political machine ...

    just received one of my scientific magazines that has a bit to do with COVID -19 it is wide accepted that the original virus jumped species from bats to humans. One scientific association has posed the question as yet unseen anywhere " if a a virus can change species from bats to humans, why not from humans to bats? That could introduce the covid 19 [or other diseases ] to bat populations. with bat populations infected this could go on to infect other species. Concern has been raised by scientists within the USGS about this exact possibility.

    worrying times ...the Concord pub fairly close to me certainly didn't practice social distancing yesterday in an area of about 8 sq metres there was an ever changing group of over 12 15 persons chatting or smoking! [ smoking or vaping both filthy habits deemed to be the worst method of spreading the infected droplets, worse than spitting ]. in terms of comparison of size worse SD than the 500k who invaded Bournemouth ..spacing was about .3m ….

    Scotland is slowly following England, whilst I think Nicola, in general terms is = almost to JC and her cronies, she has shown restraint in the present pandemic. This could be a clever tactical move to cement her popularity by delaying what "the English do" to see what the result might be and then moving on … it gives her about 2 -3 weeks grace … if it suddenly spikes she can act 2 weeks in advance.

    opening the pubs for 3 weeks? and not getting a spike will give other "hosting/ types of functions" a better chance of being allowed to get back on the path to normality ….. any small surge in the spike say to about the level of mid june will increase the herd immunity aspect and the NHS is even more better equipped to deal with serious [ hospital ] cases.

    budget in a while … vat to go down! maybe a few odd tax hikes.. would not be frowned upon .. we shall see in 20 mins or so

    Interesting interview on TV yesterday... really knocking Labour spin doctors and especially the media over the care homes. I listened to Boris' statement about care homes and thought it quite OK but you have probably noticed unless live news streams condense a 30 min interview down to a quarter or less by picking out "power phrases" … the attack on the media was well founded ...and live … don't think the news programme expected it lasted about 3-4 mins
    Basically since COVID there has been virtually no world news air disasters natural disasters just covid so anything that can be beaten death is and the negatives come out moreso from the ARAB "CRISIS" with oil to Brazilian President and the cummings affair [took a lot of hammering] and now attacking with vitriol Boris speech on Care homes ...ignoring the positives of it and highlighting one small sentence [isolated] from his speech ignoring the massive positive aspect of what has been learned and how the future is going to be different for them … like was said negativity and bad sells positive doesn't

    8 ? arrested over EDDIE COLSTONS STATUE WRECKING AND STILL AFTER ANOTHER 10 OR SO ……………… GOOD LUCK TO THEM [POLICE]

    The Concorde pub, there's a throwback assuming you mean the one in Stockwood ? My Wife and I spent many a happy Quiz Night there on a Thursday back in the early 2000's and with some occasional success too.....
    Knickerless Virgin has a far easier task than the English government in terms of size and spread of population.
    The Brazilian President is an idiot and now has the disease he described as a little Flu or similar so serve him right !
    Haven't seen that 8 have been arrested over the Colston statue, but I hope they get suitable punishments. Yeah right !!

    its either 7 or 8 arrested and "of interest" is 18 up from 15 depending on the charge/conviction they will have criminal records if they haven't already... Years ago I took on a criminal [ex con ] and at the interview I told him to go outside wait 10 mins then come back in! in he first 3 mins of his interview had spent 2+ of them sort of pleading/begging/saying how sorry he was [manslaughter 6 years out of clink ] .. I said I am doing the interview, you have stated your past on your CV and application form so please do not dwell on it. ….. I gave him a job he lasted 3 months, not his cup of tea... I told him to look for another job and if he got one in 2 month's I would,ACCEPT HIS LEAVING... 2 weeks later he came in for references which I sent to his prospective employer .. HE TURNED UP WITH A BOTTLE at Christmas + card thankyou not merry Christmas .. had he had he been one of the arrested so far he wouldn't have got an interview ….

    my OH my OH my ... Keir Starmer …. has really got to get rid of his script writers and think for himself … today … amongst the spun up jargon surrounding the careworkers /care homes he so called picked up on a care home owner? from an ITV interview … which was not that factual … then asked a question that BORIS HAD JUST ANSWERED SECONDS BEFORE Boris rebuffed him instantly .. my learned friend must do something about being at the dispatch box with preset questions, to which, should he have been listening? I have just answered ...chuckles from around the house. 5 or 6 questions all on the same subject …. boring .. dithers more than Corbyn …..

    the "almost a budget" …...fantastic the measures taken to help refloat the economy are beyond amazing …. hang on but not according to the shadow chancellor of course, with her pre written script ….. oh how some of her comments fell on the ears of most in the house didn't cause Rishi and Boris TO have seizures camera had to stay off Boris and Rishi a couple of times as they were containing their myrth. The counter, shadow chancellor, seemed to dismiss the RISHI version for one of her own that was basically the foundation of Rishi's presentation. I got the feeling that [ the parties often give the other premptive copies of what is to be said, PMQ'S DEBATES ETC ] the .gov pulled a fast one, just a little bit, in that the speech was correct but RISHI presented it in a different order … SO assuming her script was in answer to it was out of context at different parts …. upon finishing she sat down and Rishi gave her a a bit of a wacking!!!!
