I'm still waiting for the 'Perseverance landed in a studio' conspiracy theory - it's the most obvious one.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 11:27 pmInteresting how this thread has taken over from the presidential thread for alternative viewpoints but what I love the most is how those who believe in 1 particular conspiracy theory don't find it ironic in the slightest that they believe in other conspiracy theories.

Mind me asking how old you are Tuco?
I only ask because I got a call from my mothers GP 3 weeks asking if she wanted to be put on the list for a jab, she's 82.
Haven't heard anything back yet, but we're obviously slower rolling out the jab here in Ireland than in the UK.
My older brother's in his fifties and he's been offered an appointment, in London. They're moving pretty quick now.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 11:40 pmMind me asking how old you are Tuco?

That's impressive!
...early fifties (and my mate is 47 next week!) I really wasn't expecting the text last Saturday but was pleased to receive it - I assumed there was some spare capacity they were trying to fill, but it seems they're simply getting on with the tier 5-9's all in one go having 'completed' tiers 1-4.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 11:46 pmDerek27 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 11:44 pmMy older brother's in his fifties and he's been offered an appointment, in London.

Agree. BJ's responsible for all the cockups but we'll give the UK government credit where due.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 12:15 amThe UK government seem to be getting their act together regarding the rollout at leastTuco wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 12:00 am...early fifties (and my mate is 47 next week!)

Sunak's budget a cop out. Corbyn could have produced it.
He should have slashed spending and tackled the bloated sacred cow that is the NHS (and the public sector in general) - that's what Mrs Thatcher would have done, and rightly so.
Prepare for European style stagnation.

Not much of a concern for these people in charge who are nearing retirement and laughing all the way to the bank regardless of what happens next. The next generations will pay it back. Coincidentally the same generations suffering the most from the restrictions (kids-graduates) missing out on developing physically, mentally, socially and of course had their education, career or business disrupted and dreams crushedsuperfrank wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 1:43 pmSunak's budget a cop out.

Indeed.
Is this kind of stuff a valid use of public money by the NHS (in the middle of a pandemic)?!

The state is out of control. If a Tory govt. with an 80-seat majority won't do anything to rein them in, then we really are going to hell in a handcart.
I think it all comes down to decades of unsustainable greed which will probably never be eradicated by humans. One of the examples that comes to mind was a few years back when Carillion was charging the NHS £70 to change a lightbulb/£20 to refill hand sanitiser boxes, obviously going into someones back pocket along the way when the taxpayer is getting such bad value at the end of the day. it's basically legalised money laundering on a large scalesuperfrank wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 7:10 pmIndeed.
