      One of the things after the really worries me is how politicized and partisan this whole affair is.

      People are so entrenched in their beliefs that the defense or criticism is of how this has been handled doesn’t falter from their views on Brexit or Trump.

      One could hope that this could unite us for the greater good.
      Not a chance.

      I am fed up of banging my head against a brick wall talking to friends who declare themselves Libertarians about this.

      They are pretty much all uniform in their views on how this is either a hoax or a power grab.
      Vice Versa, you aren’t going to get much change from the left regardless of how it’s been handled.

      Trump has handled this appallingly in my opinion yet “free thinkers” do not seem free enough in their thinking to go against the grain of a narrative.

      So much paradoxical “insight” out there.

            No worries.
            Essentially, it seems to me as though people who consider themselves as “free thinkers” continue along the same path as they always have done.
            In this particular case, a certain and common type of Libertarian who will not stray one step from the path of their outlook.
            While they will argue that not “all” vaccines are bad they undermine the severity of what we are faced with due to their political fervor.

            Invariably, their primary source of information will come from Zero Hedge and the likes.

                  I would have thought the use of the word "excess" seven times in the map might have given you a clue.

                  "Standard Score. The standard score (more commonly referred to as a z-score) is a very useful statistic because it (a) allows us to calculate the probability of a score occurring within our normal distribution and (b) enables us to compare two scores that are from different normal distributions."

                  As I said, strange this map has not drawn comment from the UK Government apologists on here.

                        I only discovered him last summer when the Tory leadership race was on. He's got a good eye for the absurd (though that's not much of a battle these days).

                            He’s very honest about his own challenges and issues which gives him some depth. His comments regarding Boris although not exactly enlightening (most people with at least half a brain knew the bumbling bean bag would be a colossal cock) is very humorous.

                                Excellent read but its bloody annoying that we get the government we deserve, sickening that many people still play the Ronnie Corbett role in the ‘I know my Place’ sketch.
