yes it is a coincidence. It has been deliberate government policy to underfund public services, since 1979. It's the right-wing ideology of `'austerity" supported by Reagan, Thatcher and others. Still on going under Starmer - hoping for "growth" and forcing people into work when there are no...

Or not catch flu, RSV, Covid and not attribute that to my vaccinations? But it might be because I walked under a ladder, or forgot to throw spilled salt over my shoulder? How would you prove it either way?

er, why? :ROFLMAO: Almost everybody accepts the value of vaccines, and climate change theory. Why would I be lonely we are a massive majority - there's millions of us! You are in a tiny minority; don't you feel a little bit left behind, sheepishly flogging your dead horse?

Not that many in reality. It's like climate change scepticism; something like 99% of scientists support the man-made climate change hypothesis. The 1% remaining may well number in thousands, but so what?

More frauds and nutters. It is a weird phenomenon and should be studied in itself. Who, why, what, etc.

That is the problem in a nutshell! (no pun intended) You just need to work at it yourself a lot more.

How do you know this? Can you provide a link? Would expect there to be a tiny margin of sceptics, c'est la vie.

Easy - just another pseudo-science nutter. Why do you think this chap has more insight than the huge worldwide majority of medicos who would not agree with him?

I have been listening! It's the nutters who don't, or who simply fail to understand. Small minority luckily.

An obscure USA survey, but even if the dubious 10% figure is correct it is simply more likely that the 90% are more reliable.

They are only human and unfortunately can also be influenced by the nutters. Have there been any actual studies of the nutters and those susceptible to their siren call? It could be worthwhile - there might be a vaccine! :ROFLMAO:

We've seen this already and it's still rubbish.

It's a trade off. Not either/or. Life itself is a high risk.

Nobody says it can't happen. Unfortunately happens in rare cases but nevertheless a net life saver for the community as a whole. All treatments (everything in life?) can have side effects - just have a look at the bit of paper which comes with your next prescription. Foolish is not see it as a...

Not true. Information here. But don't waste your time you won't understand it. https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/covid19deathswithin28daysofapositivecovid19testandonsmethodologyforcovid19reporting

Oh yes it is. Median salaried income UK is about £35k. £90k puts you in the top 5% Also some stupid and malign people can earn multiples etc. Farage MP is one of the biggest earners but is certainly not one of the brightest and best! If the money is the main issue then we are better off...

Except that you are more likely to catch whatever it is, more likely make demands and be a cost to the NHS / other carers, more likely to be spreading it too. It's a social responsibility. Not taking them could be seen as not only stupid but also selfish and inconsiderate. If in doubt talk to a...

Funny how Corbyn gets left out of these conversations! In spite of the intensive brain-washing campaign against him, he still was the most popular Labour leader this century. We could have been 5 years into an honest Labour government. This was the turnout; 2001 Blair 10.7 million 2005 Blair...

Yep. Just politically inept, whatever else he represents. Top marks for political ineptitude with "We're gonna draught some principles" :ROFLMAO: The idea is to have principles before you enter Parliament, not just to work them out later as necessary, according to how the wind blows.

For me, first it's more about who gave the treats, which begs the question of why they thought Starmer deserved them, second about Starmer's complete lack of political nous in accepting them in the first place, let alone lack of moral compass and creepy sanctimonious reactions. No bribery as...
