Twitter, Facebook etc. all the same.

If you follow people who share lies and misinformation then that's all you will see.

Social media is 1 designed based on your biological impulse and chemistry, it has control over people they are not even aware of. 2 designed to be addictive 3 designed to harvest everything about you. 4 proven to be bad for the health of still mentally developing people.

Social media just like politics has been consumed by the vocal partisan and completely disingenuous minorities of both sides of the political divide. With Twitter, its actually journalists who are doing the most damage with lies and lies by omission

Anyone want to play a stock market game? Normally steady shares are fluctuating massively at the minute as companies issue profit warnings, pull dividends, lay off staff etc. I think it's going to continue to be a bumpy ride over the next couple of weeks.

So, to fill a few minutes, we could all build a virtual share portfolio and then see how much money we've "made" or lost" at a pre-defined cut off point. If anyone is up for it I'll draft some rules.

It's no different to gambling on the horses. In this case it's the broker instead of the bookie who always wins.

Dangerous, it’ll tempt me into actual trades, I’ve already got twitchy fingers.

This is a way to do it without getting burned. It would be a brave/crazy man who actually went in for real at the minute. Give it a few weeks!

It's skewed in favour of London for sure and there is probably statistical evidence to say SE as well (I dont know I just cant be bothered to dig). But as someone who lives in rural SE and often spends time in the North, public transport is just as ****e down here as anywhere else in England. London is the overwhelming exception, SE just seems to get bundled in with it in conversation.

Southampton for example binned a very well developed tram system in the mid 50s and dug it all up on the basis that buses and trains could do the job. Fast forward to the 2010's and the village I live in on the outskirts of the city (roughly 10 miles out) with a population circa 6000 people stopped having a bus service on Sunday full stop and the hourly weekday bus services ended at 7pm, this was the only form of public transport available as Beeching had our village station too.

(Counter - Sunday buses have been restored and things have slightly improved since, but its still pretty dire).

Na don't do that I mean I can't remember where the QPR mods tried to ban someone for no good reason :bandit:

<party><party><party>

Again I thoroughly appreciate that you didn't allow them to site ban me and allow me to run free fetlocks flowing through the green, green fields of not606.

This really is like trying to explain calculus to a chimp.

I will, however, keep trying...

Yes, Pix, this is a new strain (so we are being told), and that’s why it is infecting a lot of people very quickly. That’s what new viruses do, as has happened regularly even in the course of very recent history, and without any of the draconian measures currently being taken.

You see, what happens, is lots of people get infected, and their bodies develop an immunity to the virus, which ends up protecting us all. Some people - a very small minority of the overall population - will die. It’s unfortunate, but a necessary part of the process, and it happens with all viruses.

That’s how immunity works, see.

If we don’t build up a natural immunity to this virus, everyone will keep catching it, and more people will die, in the longer run.

Hence, the anger of many intelligent people at the way in which this is being handled by our halfwitted Government and encouraged by the idiot masses.

First of all, drop the condescending tone. It makes you sound like a jumped up little prick <ok>

Secondly, the immunity issue is about flattening the curve, so that yes, everybody eventually builds up immunity over time which is what we want. And/or we buy time to develop a vaccine. But so that not everybody gets infected at the same time. I'll explain why:

Huge swathes of people all getting infected at the same time not only means that healthcare systems will topple over, but also key infrastructure workers cannot go to work. That means that NHS workers, Doctors, Surgeons, Police, Transport drivers, Warehouse packers, Food producers, refuse collectors, energy and utility contractors, etc will all be off work at the same time.

Presumably you saw the panic in the supermarkets when this first started ? So try to imagine the panic if suddenly the food supply chain was crippled because there was nobody to produce the food / pack the food / deliver the food / stack the shelves / open the stores. And that is just one example of many.

I'll give you another. Imagine the NHS cannot cope with the number of Covid patients, both due to the numbers infected and due to the fact that you have allowed the virus to rip through society, so that the organisation is operating at 1/3 staffing levels. That means not only do Covid patients die, but huge numbers of other patients die from other conditions because the system has buckled under the strain.

Cameron in his documentary said that Gove is incredibly intelligent, he learns things exceptionally fast, and he actually isn't very easy to move from his ideals. Before the Brexit campaign began, David apparently knew Gove would be extremely difficult to get onside so purposely used his "listen Michael, we're good friends" routine to try and convince him to back to remain camp. Obviously it didn't work, and Gove was an instrumental part in the leave campaign. So, if Gove does have a belief, he's not one to put party politics before that belief.

Gove's firm belief is Gove ... and only Gove ...
