I’ve done it all my life and had little or no sympathy, feels weird being on the other side for once. Hypocrisy I know.

Do we still get the polio sugarcubes?! Could just as easily be me who's cocked up and you do get anti-malarials in a jab, but I've only ever been aware of and taken tablets. If you don't though, his thought process of don't think about it, just get injected does make you wonder what he's been having injected when he's gone for his "jab for Malaria". Unless he's talking about treatment, in which case it's not a great example. Either way, was only meant light-heartedly until you made me doubt whether I'm even right 😂 As for Polio, no idea, I didn't even know that was a thing!

We all change as we age, and our views on how life ought to be lived will inevitably be modified to match. Absolutely, I’m becoming more militant and inclined to not obey rules and restrictions unless lives are at stake if course. Thankfully that seems to buck the general trend of becoming more selfish and conservative as you get older though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers (and I've seen it online too) referred to the package though as for a family, isn't the package just to replace kids school lunches? Don't get me wrong, for £30 you should get far, far more than that but equally, do kids really need £3 worth of food for their lunch everyday, that's more than I spend on lunch and I'm not exactly eating small portions 😂😂 I don't have kids so literally have no idea, but assumed they had lower calorie requirements etc but happy to be corrected on that. Edit: just rewatched and Piers said for a week, I'd previously seen 10 days online. If it's a week (mon-fri) then that's £6 quid a day on lunches. That's more than I spend even on a treat at the staff canteen so I'm assuming I've picked it up wrongly and it is for a family in which case £6 is not enough.

UK Column is headquartered in Plymouth in South West England. Mike Robinson is editor of the UK Column and Brian Gerrish is the Author/Editor/Owner of the UK Column Newspaper. Further, Brian Gerrish has appeared on US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones show. In review, UK Column uses loaded language both in their headlines and articles such as: ”Cameron and Obama’s Hired Thugs Now Butchering Their Way Through Syria.” This article, like many on the website, does not link to a single source. However, they sometimes utilize credible sources such as the NY Times, gov.uk and factually mixed sources such as the Daily Mail and conspiracy sites such as 21st Century Wire: “White Helmets.” When covering USA politics the UK Column favors Donald Trump and his policies. They also promote conspiracy theories such as the New World Order, False Flag Operations, and World War 3. While the UK Column does produce credible, well-sourced news, they also promote conspiracy theories. Therefore, we rate UK Column as a Conspiracy website that is Mixed for factual reporting. (M.

Francis Albert Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The Guardian, presumably unhappy with the level of fear and gloom and awfulness the Government figures provide, has done its own analysis of numbers of UK Covid deaths which allows it to headline a figure over over 100,000 and report it as one of the highest rate per 100,000 of population in the world. This involves combining numbers based on the number of death certificates that mentioned Coronavirus, and for the more recent period, the Government's definition of those dying within 28 days of a positive test. This takes the total from 85,000 to over 100,000. It ignores of course the fact that both measures are imprecise. We know that death certificates for those dying in care homes included Coronavirus as a cause or suspected cause or factor on no better evidence than covid was present in the home. And not all who die within 28 days of a positive test have died of covid. Similar "analysis" seems not to have been performed on figures from other countries The precise number is unknown and in a sense it doesn't matter whether it is 85,000 or 100,000 or somewhat less or somewhat more.
