Thing is Watford I was right 3 times before regarding outcomes. Don't listen to the rubbish you read in your political bias papers... listen to the real people and how they feel. Today we recorded 1 death while in other places in Europe that is not the case. The government has done a fab job with the vaccine roll out and while a few idiots will try and moan (because they don't like this news) the rest of us are happy and want to return to normality. Starmer had his chance and blew. You keep on moaning but not many are listening.
Well done to the government.

Glad I could give you another opportunity to cheerlead.

Whatever mate. I see the same old faces on here spouting the same old rubbish. Strollers post last night was a classic cry baby 'spit your dummy out' because the government is doing well and sadly Labour are... duds. Now you are doing your usual...tut tut. I will let you guys cry in your beer and moan about Boris and the government, while I get on with some important things like paint a door frame. :emoticon-0148-yes:

Sounds good. If you can think of a way the government can bring back the dead then you might not look quite so ridiculous congratulating their performance.
 
German MEP says:
"Simply by leaving, the UK's saving €14bn of budget contributions each year.
€17bn for the SURE unemployment programme & €140bn gross contributions for non-participation in Next Generation EU.
That amounts to €171bn saving for the UK.

UK left just in time! EU 'unravels' as Britain dodges huge £150bn bill from Brussels
BRITAIN has managed to already save £150bn, according to a German MEP, who suggested Brexit was the "beginning of the unravelling of the EU".

I had my second jab today .. brilliantly organised and run courtesy of a team of NHS nurses, a large team of St John's Ambulance, and local Covid Marshals ( like me).

The success of the rollout is down to NHS and the British people...not a dubious contract or private firm in sight.
Apart from Pfizer, AZ, Moderna, Biontech……..

Guttman Stoke Mandeville stadium.


My first was at Bucks University in Aylesbury, but that vaccination centre and the one at the Aylesbury Odeon have both closed.

In my area nearly all vaccinations are happening in Stoke Mandeville. I was told they did 1500 jabs today

The centre I "work/ volunteer" in, in Haddenham, has also been closed for 3 weeks.

I think there is a slowing down of rate, possibly due to lack of vaccine... But it is still going well

From what I see still well over half a million jabs being given daily, just most of them are now second jabs, rightly. I have three weeks to wait for my second. I suspect that giving Pfizer and AZ jabs to different people has led to a focussing of vaccination locations on those where they can store the Pfizer and Moderna jabs easily. Though round my way a couple of new ‘drive through’ centres have opened in the last fortnight. Horses for courses I suppose.

We’re on the wrong thread.

I think Beth's initial post was on the right thread.

I’m expecting months of mocking Nadine Dorries now, loads of memes. Not only awful with numbers.. took two attempts to spell Hartlepool right.

It might have something to do with the amount of characters you can have on a tweet.
Anyway ‘Harlepool’ will be turning blue. The only memes worth worrying about will be of a ‘dud’ opposition leader. :emoticon-0100-smile

How many crowing posts will there be when a seat is won that would’ve been won by a mile by the Tories last time were it not for an even further right wing alternative splitting the vote?

I’ll set the bar at over/under 8.5.
