And it's my wife

Though that can certainly be said about Brexit - just a shame about the collateral damage.
But back to topic and thank you Cyclefree, always worth reading. I'm reminded of travelling on a local bus from Durham to Hartlepool about 1995, which went around all the former mining villages, including Sedgefield. I'm familiar with former Scottish mining areas - but I was shaken by what I saw. Now if that is smashed all over again, who are they going to vote for, when they finally get the chance years on?
Right now I shall remain in blissful ignorance of what Sunak's up to.
I continue to believe that formerly-unthinkable ideas along the lines of a coordinated global debt reset to pre-coronavirus levels may have to be considered, once the world wakes up to the implications of implementing the conventional remedies of austere spending and oppressive taxation for the next decade or two...
If the theory is correct the whole world can cope with this as it makes zero difference everywhere beyond a set of money owed to central banks that will never be repaid.
Stop bugging me stop forcing me
Stop fighting me stop yelling me
It's my life.

As Michael Heseltine pithily remarked, it was Balls’.

Brexit deal or T3 deal, which will be first?
Is this a completely meaningless message or is it actually evidence that you have come into Bluetooth range (however fleeting) of a positive case? I’m just interested how often this might happen (given many people won’t have the app/turned on Bluetooth) in my c. 100 per 100k area.
From the build up I thought it would be some really sleazy dynamite thing - Joe caught on tape bragging about sexual assault or something equally terminal to anybody's hopes of being elected to America's highest office.
This T3 nonsense - it can't continue where each area gets to haggle with the Treasury for a package and for which bits of T3 apply to it. The government needs to accept that the pox is back, its tearing its way through a lot of communities, and without the resumption of the broad-scoped support from earlier this year people and companies are fucked.
Resume the furlough. Extend the loans. And then impose Tier 3 and the same bloody Tier 3 wherever the science says it needs imposing. They need to stop cocking about.
This is of course assuming there actually is anything, remember obamagate?
And closing schools is something Johnson appears to have resolutely set his face against, even though the restrictions we are having to work under are fucking near impossible.

Numbers are such that theatre recovery is being converted to overflow Covid ICU again. Not only are the hospital numbers up, but this significantly impacts on surgical turnover for other conditions.
So not my usual chirpy self...
Regarding the distribution by age, the group with the highest incidence is that of young people between 10 and 19 years old, there is also an increase in the age group between 20 and 29 years old, but to a lesser extent. Schools
If the government is saying people can't trade by law it does not.
I am shocked.

Be careful. That was the line about Cunningham-Tillis in NC and the immediate polls saying Cunningham's lead was the same or heightened. Everyone said the scandal hadn't resonated. And now Cunningham's lead has suddenly shrunk.
These things take time to work through.
Says a lot that Sunak has been made to look a fourth rate operator by Andy Burnham (sic).
In Sweden, as in the UK, around half of all Covid-19 deaths occurred in care homes. Care workers initially avoided wearing masks and gloves (some for fear of giving offence to residents) and were discouraged from admitting patients to hospital. “We did not manage to protect the most vulnerable people, the most elderly, despite our best intentions,” Prime Minister Löfven conceded."

Early days, but any sign that it has made a difference on Merseyside?
I would have preferred that personally, and see it as quite a big difference to what we had. I dont get how people are trying to claim that our lockdown was similar to that, I havent been to the gym since February, and only out for a drink with the boys a couple of times, in September and October, principally because they were all shut
I suspect one will find that in some cases targets and bonuses are consistent with this.

problem with any other site. Same thing happened Saturday for a couple of hours. No problem logging in from my wife's PC 12 inches away!

BoZo has killed the Union. Twat.
Anyone would think some on PB like drama just for the bloody sake of it.

And you just have to look at interest rates between 2009 and now and compare it to Government borrowing. One is at rock bottom and has been for the last 11 years, the other is at sky high levels.
How is the UK saying that there is no point talking unless the EU are prepared to compromise "infantile"?
Talks are only worthwhile if both parties are prepared to compromise. If the EU's not we should wait them out until they are.
Had the UK made no effort to reduce its deficit then interest would have been higher.
If you believe Parliament should be sovereign then that is quite reasonably more important than whether all elements of the union wish to remain within the UK. Elements of the union have left in the past, its not that big of a deal.
OR could Hunter B. actually be HST's love child??
IF any of the above is true, could it be the (2nd) October Surpise of 2020???
Then take that miniscule number and deduct those who don't think Boris is a twat...
The Union is screwed.
Reminds me of my Zx Spectrum playing Monopoly. The AI would do anything to complete a set, including giving me the properties in the set.
Utterly self defeating.
