Actually saying someone is “following you around a messageboard” is even more moronic than defending a political party being criminal just because you voted for them.

Actually saying someone is “following you around a messageboard” is even more moronic than defending a political party being criminal just because you voted for them.
It is less moronic than the person who is doing it though.
As for defending a political party just because you voted for them, if you are referring to me defending anyone in these few posts I'd like you to show me where, and I'd also like to know how you know which way I voted in a secret ballot.
But I don't expect you to answer any of those points directly, you'll just make more spurious comments. :hehe:
Notice that I didn't reply to your post as you always moan about it. The only one of us who gets irritated is, very clearly, you.
If you don't want to see my posts just put me on ignore and stop fecking wingeing.
And, by the way, there's no way that you were referring to two different stories :hehe:
I like erading your posts, they make me laugh, why would I put you on ignore? I'm not winging I think its quite flattering.
You are clearly reading what you want to read not what is there.
1. Why do you say it was under reported?........referring to TOBW's rearks about the second article.
2. And the governemnt has said Whitty was no against the plan, and he has not publicly said he is, the reported disquiet is third hand. I'd wait to see what he says himself........... referring to the first article.
Got that?
You don't find it "flattering" at all, you have got angry numerous times when I have replied to your posts.
You called me a "stalker" the other day and had a right little rant.
Look, if I think you're wrong about something or if I disagree with something you've said, then I might reply to it. That's how a forum works.
It just so happens that you post a lot of shit that I disagree with or that I think you're wrong about, so I may reply to yours posts more than some others.
If you don't have the mentality to handle people disagreeing with you, then you're on the wrong messageboard.
I can't believe that this has to be explained to a grown man to be honest.
You talk a load of shit too. To honestly believe that I get 'angry' about anything you say or anyone says on here indicates you have far to high an opinion of yourself and your own view of things. It's a message board, it's not real, get over it.
your use of things like 'don't have the mentality' is just laughable. I am actually chuckling to myself typing this, which isn't helping my normally shite typing.
But I do notice you have dropped the comments about me not referring to both articles. Not to worry, keep trying. Just remember this isn't real life, its a joke and a bit of fun around the football, that is all.
Sad!!
Of course I talk a lot of shit, the only difference is that I don't get upset and call other posters stalkers if they tell me that I'm talking shit.
You have seemed hurt a number of times when other posters have dared question your posts too... It's not just me that you've responded to and sounded like a wounded little puppy and have obviously taken offence.
You simply don't like being questioned by anyone. I'll stop responding to you and see how long it takes before you respond to another poster in the same manner :hehe:
Also, if you genuinely were referring to the two different articles, you definitely weren't making it clear in the slightest.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Edit: "SAD!!!" Steady on there, Trump :hehe:
i really cannot b elieve a grown man takes what is said on here soseriously, have a nice evening.
I can't begin to get my head around the thought processes of someone who would have booed in this case, can anyone on here?

Some very encouraging vaccine.news from Scotland.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56153600
We will get english date backing this up later too which should give a much bigger sample size.
So much for quasi ineffective from Macron and Germany about the AZ vaccines. Absolutely the worst bit of playing politics I've ever seen.
The confidence intervals obviously overlap but this shows AZ is more effectove than Pfizer at preventing serious illness.
So much focus was giving to that study in south africa that didn't even have enough participants to be statistically significant.
This is great news, we should be getting a normal summer after this
Yes, I thought that was a rash decision at the time and would come back to bite them. I would imagine that there must be quite a few folks over there who will be upset to hear the news today, the ones whose elderly relatives, i.e. the over 65's, have died, and whose lives might well have been saved had they been given the chance to have the vaccine.
I think this is the one thing that has made me think being out of the EU is a good thing.
I don't think it was worth giving up our free trade and freedom of movement but this has been a positive.
I think the tory government would have gone on their own with the vaccine campaign anyway. We committed money to Oxford nd AZ while still in the EU remember.
See Boris has uttered the obvious that people must learn to live with the coronavirus just as they do with flu in the long term due to the availability of a vaccine .
"The only reason I'm able to say...we must learn to live with COVID as we live with flu...in the long term is of course because we have this vaccination program and the capability to evolve our vaccines," he told parliament.
Makes sense to me.
Another interesting thread from main journalist at Walesonline looking at covid. When we talk about lessons learnt from covid we should recognise that so much of what's happened has been built on the decade(s) before.Quote:
I spoke to Heather Lewis who's a public health consultant working for Public Health Wales leads a specialist team in the Cwm Taf area which monitors and informs public health decisions on managing the virus there.
She helped inform the local lockdown we saw there in the autumn. She laid out a few reasons why RCT has been so unable to shake off high levels of community transmission.
These include:
- Mobility -
Car ownership is much lower in RCT than other places.
As people are more reliant on public transport which opens up more lines of transmission. Especially elderly people are reliant on others giving them a lift to get to places like a doctor's appointment.
This mixing of vulnerable people with those who may well be asymptomatic is another way the virus can spread.
This inability to travel also poses an issue for healthcare planners with regard to testing.
If people are not able to travel far, they may be unable to get a test (you wouldn’t want people with symptoms hopping on the bus).
This means it is harder to get a handle on just how much Covid there is in the area.
- Employment -
People in RCT are more likely to be in roles which require face to face interaction with others.
Carers, supermarket workers, manual labourers - all those professions that we gladly clapped for months because the pandemic showed us just how essential they are.
But it is the nature of these roles that you are more likely to catch Covid as you have more face to face contact with people.
Added to this you have the fact these jobs are, in the main, not well paid and often insecure, which leads to people feeling they cannot miss work.
- Family ties -
This is a big one and in part ties into the employment side.
With lower incomes childcare is less affordable and jobs are less likely to be done from home.
This means a reliance on grandparents and other relatives. This increases lines of transmission.
Plus, the lockdown necessitated a bigger behavior change in the Valleys than Cardiff for example.
Often in the some Valley community there are multiple families living on one street.
I live in Cardiff & know no one on my street and never go in their house. My behaviour didn't have to change.
If my mum lived on my street the transition would've been a harder one to make in terms of the change to day to day life.
- Housing -
Even if you had 100% compliance with the rules, the nature of much of the housing in the area means the virus easily spread.
Smaller houses mean it's harder to isolate and social distance.
It also makes the lockdown harder to endure, esp when you can't leave home.
Even if all these other factors that help the virus spread were not in place, RCT would still likely have more deaths than average.
All those underlying health conditions like heart disease, obesity, diabetes and stroke are above average in the Valleys.
This is just a snap shot. You can read the full analysis here:

this thread...
will I'm afraid be ignored by so many who now believe that Johnson and his Cabinet of political pygmies and chancers have earned their vote because they have, finally, done something that has worked when it comes to tackling Covid and, let's not forget, they also "got Brexit done".
Meanwhile, as we approach the first anniversary of the claim that 20,000 dead in the UK would be a "good" outcome, 100,000 more than that figure have now died - around a year ago, Gluey was posting links to forecasts which said only around 7,000 would die in the UK, that many, and more, were dying in a week until recently. Despite this, none of it seems to affect those who have had the ultimate responsibility for deciding our Covid policy and I have to wonder what more needs to go wrong before the forty odd per cent start to abandon their blind faith in the UK Government?
That implies that a year ago people were expecting to receive news that, no matter what party was in power, people were expecting the Prime Minister to take a holiday as the virus was establishing itself in this country, they expected the PM not to bother attending the first five COBRA meetings in which the virus was discussed, they expected the PM to contradict scientific advice on shaking hands with the result that he ended up in intensive care with Covid. People expected all sorts of wildly optimistic claims about "having the virus on the run" despite ten years of Conservative government having left us dangerously low on PPE and a "dress rehearsal" back in 2017 for what might happen in the event of a pandemic hitting this country which was basically just ignored.
I could go on and on and on about the number of mistakes, cock ups and misjudgements made by the UK Government when it comes to Covid because the list is almost endless, but I won't - instead, this video only goes up to early May last year;-

There's a hundred different slants you can put on this. The UK has a high death rate because we have so many obese/diabetic people, and we record deaths differently. The fact that cases & deaths trickled to almost zero after everything in that blog before surging to the heights of this winter suggests that those things had no real affect. The fact we left the EU after all those idiots who didn't know better voted for it, and now watch as the EU regions are in a civil war over lack of vaccines.
Seriously, do you ever let up on having a go at the Tories ? Personally I couldn't care about any of them..
