The Japenese Oylympics have not been postponed for no reason at at all.. The Japanese PM has said there might yet be an explosion of Japanese cases. He didn’t say that for no reason. He said it because of received wisdom, which may or not not be correct. But,....big, big big BUT. The a lot of epidemiologists are looking at Japan. and Japan might , just MIGHT be on to something, albeit inadvertently be on to something . I put it no higher than that, Time will tell if they are . I am a cautious person. Lies damned lies and statistics and all that. Life’s experiences have taught me not to jump too quick.. That’s all.. Others may feel differently. I am very lucky living round here where people seem to behave sensibly. . I don't disagree with any of that. I just simply point to what the 'experts' that we are told by some we must listen too said if a country didn't lock down. It wouldn't just see them get cases.. but an absolute crazy amount.. hundreds of thousands were to die.. Not locking down isn't a cure... the issue is, has locking down actually made any difference, or enough of a difference to warrant the severe collateral damage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Diane Abbott had made the same mistake, it’d be splashed across the front page of all the national newspapers and she'd never be allowed to forget it. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that she is still under investigation about 'alleged allegations' made as regards bullying in the workplace?

If you give a baby the name 'Priti', you are gambling that your daughter is not going to be ugly! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted April 12, 2020 There seems to be little doubt ( IMHO ) that she is Priti unempathic in much the same way that Raab also is. Looking down on the plebs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
