Coronavirus - A pale horse,4 men and ....beer

[Trader Pat]

He didn't invent the link but he kept promoting the drug even after it was debunked by his own people.

Damn! I got sucked in again

I think you will find it was debunked by some people. We have it here now, some are saying the kids should go back to school and some are saying they should not … both claim to be educated arguments but both can't be right and whichever way Boris goes half the people will be against the decision … the problem is the half who are against it whichever way it goes is the half that gets the loudest shouts afterwards.

I keep getting sucked in!

There should be an option to self exclude from individual threads!

Indeed. Where will it end, I wonder? Snooker changing the potting order to black first?

Quite. The irony of a multi-millionaire footballer asking tax payers to feed children whose parents (in many cases) would rather spend their limited income on Sky TV, cigarettes and alcohol than feed their own offspring.

What on earth happened to personal responsibility? We'll be buying young girls tampons at school next! Oh wait...

sounds to me like you have ZERO perception/empathy/understanding outside of your own socio-economic bubble (see opening line for recursive, discourse!)

Any reference for that? I would be very interested. I volunteered a while ago and the people that were providing and *unfortunately" expanding the foodbank were very successful, high functioning, entrepreneurial people. Why would people like that give their time, expertise for free if there wasn't a genuine need?

How many is "many cases"? I doubt many parents would eat before their children, and not many people would go without food to watch Sky TV.

What are you talking about Derek? Clearly, you're wrong.

I saw a study once, confirming what CS is saying. And only some have discredited it, thus by logical extenstion it still holds true and is okay to put out there.

I'm well beyond the bull**** by now. I can only wonder who or what hurt these people sooooo badly to make them this jaded.

The irony of a multi-millionaire asking the state to help feed starving children as opposed to filling their own pockets? I see your point.

I never thought I'd find myself agreeing with Macron but...

President Macron: “France will not erase any trace, or any name, from its history”.

That Churchill is boarded up in London is a disgrace to the nation.

Guess that's this incompetent Tory government for you ,frank. A statue of a slave trader is pulled down in Bristol and the government overreact. Maybe they had inside knowledge a few of the right wing football lads due for that weekend had weak bladders.

Hardly "the deep end" is it?!!

There is no harm in a few of us discussing the contentious issues of the day in a single thread.

If you don't like it then don't read it. They are thousands of other threads.
