    I don’t think it’s me who’s in danger of being being radicalised mate.

    Carl Benjamin ffs? Sargon of Akkad? No mate. Just no.

    For example, Graham Lineham, creator of Father Ted and the IT Crowd.

    So why does the mob hate Linehan? He told me that he is campaigning for the word 'woman' to retain its meaning as ‘adult human female’. And he wants children to be allowed to experiment with gender non-conformity without being labelled as ‘trans’ and potentially put on a damaging medical pathway. And he wants women to be allowed to discuss these issues without receiving vile misogynistic abuse. Is that too much to ask?

    And just for balance the article is written by Dr Debbie Hayton who identifies as a transwoman

    A device is now available to detect flu or Covid19 within 90 minutes without invasive swabs which are difficult and uncomfortable. A major advance. Such rapid advancements in science are usually only seen during wars...which in a way, I suppose this is.

    Let's hope this is a reliable test that can go on to be the cornerstone of a comprehensive test, trace and isolate program that, alongside distancing, hygiene and sensible behaviour that will make headway toward controlling the virus whilst first an effective treatments then vaccines can be developed.

    the blame deflection machine is in full swing. Must get a donation to the LED boys to help with exposing the Machiavellian machinations of this inept regime where lies, deceit and misinformation is the default stance.

    It’s really very frightening that our PM is basing his leadership style on this man, and equally frightening that our PM is basing so much of this country’s future on doing trade deals with him.

    No real surprises here, but further supports my belief that Tory voters will protect their party before protecting their country. Just 7% would blame their own party, despite the poor controls and disastrous communications.

    People are ****ing stupid as a whole. It's why the idea of a democracy is flawed as the votes are always decided by the media.

    Democracy is the worst form of government, apart from all the others. That statement is attributed to Winston Churchill. Churchill was wrong about loads of things, but he was right about that (and about Hitler, tbf).

    June 2015, or whenever that muppet Cameron wine the election and announced he’d give us the referendum, I turned to my wife and said, “Whichever side the Sun and the Mail back wins this.”

    I watched the Murdoch documentary recently and it just confirmed what I had always believed. It’s rotten.

    Aberdeen back in lock-down. It appears that someone from Manchester showed up to travel offshore by helicopter with symptoms, and was sent away to self isolate. Said individual instead went downtown on the piss, resulting in a cluster of 54 cases. This tosser is criminally negligent.

    Doubt it will happen, but HIV+ people have been prosecuted in the past for not informing sexual partners (counts as ABH or GBH).

    Some mythical guy from Manchester is to blame? Not sure that adds up tbh. Looks to me like more deflection of responsibility away from government - in Westminster and Holyrood - and on to the woman in Primark/ bloke at the bustop/ inconsiderate jogger etc, who didn't wear a mask.
