John Crace is fast becoming my ‘find’ of the lockdown. Thanks to whoever it was on here who pointed me in that direction.
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.
You were just in another thread saying how well you know graphs ffs yet don’t know what a standard deviation is
Oh you've popped up again have you. If you look at that map there is nothing on it to say what it is measuring.You were just in another thread saying how well you know graphs ffs yet don’t know what a standard deviation is
Come on you must have an idea what that map is showing.
What are you talking about here then
The map shows a scale on the right and countries of Europe on the map. There are no terms of reference, no link to what the person who produced it was trying to prove or disprove, no information on whether the numbers have been weighted to show different population sizes, and no explanation of the information that is not shown. How can any useful information be gleened from it when more than half the counties indicated have no statistics to prove or disprove whatever the thing is trying to show?
Basically it is useless unless all the information is there. How do we know that the information is not available from some countries or that the producer chose to ignore them? Some countries as we are told are massaging their figures, some count differently. Is there any explanation of whether and how these anomolies have been taken into account?
like many graphs it seeks to prove the authors point, but in this case we don't even know, because the map is shown her completely devoid of any context, what his point was or even who he/she was?
People look at it and assume it means what they wanted to believe anyway.
Now people will start going at mne again but none of it will change the point of what I am saying.
I bet you it took you about a quarter of an hour to come up with that - it's a lot of words which doesn't actually say much at all that is relevant, are you related to Boris Johnson by any chance?
Absolute nothing to see here, absolutely nothing.

A very perceptive piece in my view;-

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.
Well put.
You’ve just said you don’t know what Z scores means.
Now you don’t even have the common sense to work out what excess might mean despite the preceding posts?

I have lots of common sense and you and people like you just insulting people because you don't agree with them is both rude and piointless and it makes you look like a temperamental little boy.
If you don't like my posts stop being insulting and/or showing faux outrage as you normally do and just put me on ignore. It's not difficult.
I don't like Piers Morgan for obvious reasons and often think his performances on GMTV are just that -performances done for effect, but it seems to me that he is showing genuine anger here;-

The guy has always been an outspoken idiot, giving him more of a voice during this is a tragedy.
No mate, a tragedy is over 30000 deaths in 7 weeks and rising.
Piers Morgan is annoying but at least he's asking the questions that should be asked and pointing out the bollocks behind the spin.
When we've got a PM who, about the country with the world's second highest death count, says that we've “so far succeeded in the first and most important task we set ourselves as a nation – to avoid the tragedy that engulfed other parts of the world” then I'm glad there's someone like Piers Morgan telling them that they're talking utter utter nonsense
Im not insulting you because I don’t agree with you. I’m insulting you because you’re pretty thick but don’t seem to recognise that.
Id never put you on ignore, I find your stupid posts very funny.
So you saying I'm pretty thick as a statement is not an insult? I suppose its another one of the "facts" people spout on here that aren't actually facts at all.
Another little keyboard warrior. I'm not interested in your opinions or so called facts buddy. you say I'm thick because you don't agree with me but you still haven't made any reference to the point that there is nothing on the map that says what it is have you?
It’s an insult and a statement of fact please take it as both.
I don’t know if I disagree or agree with you because your posts are incomprehensible and too stupid to gain any knowledge of your opinions. So no it’s nothing to do with disagreeing with you.
I mean the fact you don’t understand that map despite being, and I quote, very good at the old graphs, backs up everything I say.
so you admit you aare being deliberately insulting. Typicla action of a keyboard warrior.!
there you go changing words again to suit your answer just like Croesy. I did not say I was very good at the old graphs as you indicate here as a quote, that's just a lie.
how can Iunderstand a map that has no information on it to indicate what its a map of? From your comments I assume it isn't a map but a graph in the form of a map, or a map in place of a list of countries and figures, but there is nothing on there to tell me what.
this began because TOBW remarked on the fact that the map had elcitied no comments and i pointed out that there was no terms of reference on it.
Besides you no one has commented even yet and no one has actually said what the z rate refers to even yet, including you. But I've lost interest now, people like you will just say "it's obvious" without actually giving any real information to back up the claim anyway
You said you were a graph professor and you know it!
God you're childish. That is absolutely pathetic!!
On reflection I think you really are a child!
Do you seriously not understand what the graph is showing? I can explain it for you if you like.
