I just find some of the comments on here incredulous. The human misery being caused globally by this virus, including around 400 each day dying from it in the UK over the last few weeks, is unarguable. Those who try to write it off as something that only affects people who are "nearly dead anyway", not much worse than the flu, and something that shouldn't stop us getting on with our normal business are to me, bonkers. Only a fool would think that everybody doing as they please wouldn't results in thousands of extra deaths. The bonkers lot include just a few on here, some scientists/statisticians/medics, the Toby Young/Peter Hitchens types, and a small but significant number of Tory MPs who oppose strict measures because although they may save a few (old) lives they damage the economy. Bonkers, the lot of them. You can argue a bit about the data, but the big picture death toll here and elsewhere is a matter of fact except at the margins.
Sorry, rant over.
If I were being cynical, I'd say those putting wealth before health were more afraid that any economic consequences would be profoundly negative for the Conservatives and might lead to their replacement in Government by Labour.
If the cost of preventing Labour getting into Government was to be the deaths of a few hundred "sick oldies" or "obese slobs" (as someone on here described them), it would be a price well worth paying.
For some, the nightmare is not a virus running wild through the population but the Labour Party in Government.
That of course would be absurdly cynical though, wouldn't it?
It works even better the other way.
How many of those wanting lockdowns think the economic damage is a feature not a bug ?
For some, the dream is a more powerful, more authoritarian state, a dominant public sector and a Labour party in charge of it.
You're the one who's dreaming there.
You really don't think there are people who would like a more powerful state ?
Or a more authoritarian state ?
Or a dominant public sector ?
There are, lots and lots of them and of all political persuasions.
Take a look at how much support there is for nationalising such things as food production and travel agents:
Or consider how many times you have heard someone say "the government should ban it".
Ok, I will try to answer calmly:
First, I was referring to your "How many of those wanting lockdowns think the economic damage is a feature not a bug ?" comment. I should have just answered "None".
As for "the government should ban it"... Yes, I hear that from time to time. Often from those on the right, as in "the government should ban... immigration, same-sex marriages, discussion of LGBT issues in schools, women priests, etc. etc."
None ?
Now I'm probably more cynical than your good self but the phrase 'never let a good crisis go to waste' comes to mind.
As does 'you cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs'.
People who want change are often happy to see a little bad news if they think it will result in the change they want.
And there are people of all persuasions who want to ban things - how about fox hunting for example ? Or some sort of car usage or house ownership or energy production they don't approve of. Or perhaps people who or things which originate in countries they don't approve of ?
To take something in the news in recent years, how many people support the banning of 'chlorinated chicken'.
There are lots of lots of people who are happy to have a more powerful and authoritarian government.
As long as its 'people like me' in control.
You rarely land in the middle.
You make a polarised mixture of brilliant posts and stupid posts.
I’d venture this is in the “Mansfield is the vision for Britain” category.
For clarity, that’s the latter category.
How authoritarian we might be if we did have the power is something we should be grateful we don't get to discover.
I am quite happy in the knowledge of the pyramid of skulls I would build. The slope of the pyramid measured by the reporting day would be.........
In other news, I've just finished series 4 of the Crown. I thought it was pretty good and don't understand why everyone is whinging.
I thought Thatcher was portrayed in a pretty balanced light - it showed her positive traits and her negative traits.
I also thought Charles was portrayed in a balanced light. Yes they demonstrated his hypocrisy but it also made us feel sorry for him at the same time - that he was also a victim.
The only person who was portrayed as white than white was Princess Di but man the actress was fantastic.
I can see Diana's fashion sense coming back into fashion in the next few years.
I have come to the conclusion that the lesson of the Diana saga is: have nothing to do with a man who is not prepared to shag you until his doctor has examined your fanny. It's bloody rude.
I note there was some interesting discussion this morning on classic British cars of the 196070/s. Two of my favourite drives were the Alvis TE21 and the Rover P5B Coupe.
Both somewhat rakish and not at all like Mrs Jack W's husband at all ....
My grandfather had a P5B. I wouldn’t have called it particularly rakish (it was also the car used by Wilson and Heath). Smelled of peppermints, seat leather and pipe tobacco,
The Alvis, though, looks rather fine. The Graber bodied ones even more so.
Am I misremembering or did Jack W mention that he was looking at buying a Bristol a few years back? Rejected in the end as being too new fangled no doubt.
I was very surprised to learn recently that there is such a thing as a Beaufighter (with 4 wheels, not two and a tailwheel). And that a good friend of mine has two.
And a Blenheim, Beaufort and Bristol Fighter I believe. They were obviously ahead of the curve on Britain's war fetish.
Same company isn't it?
I take @Dura_Ace point on the P6 V8 Rover, the brakes were a nightmare*, but great car to drive. The leather seats and walnut dash were lush , but it also went like stink when working. Ours did have rather dodgy steering, swerving into the opposite carriageway, when hands taken off the wheel. I remember spinning it on the A34 as a result.
*nearly as bad as repairing 2CV brakes which were within the rear axle suspension.
...although 2CV rear brakes were hardly critical, surely?
Driving a 2CV was surprising fun. Top end was 70mph, but once it finally got there you really didn't want to lose that speed, so had to corner on two wheels to keep it, which they did surprisingly well.
Brakes were still needed for the MOT disappointingly.
As an aside, the Racing Post is full of joy over the prospect 2,000 people will be turning up at Lingfield and Ludlow to watch the racing next Wednesday. Now, 2,000 for a midweek all-weather meeting would be decent, 2,000 for King George day at Kempton perhaps less so.
Apparently it's all the atmosphere and the return to "normal" but if you want to go and stand in a Surrey or Shropshire field on a cold December afternoon, there are one or two rules and regulations to follow:
On that basis, I'd rather sit at home on my sofa and watch the racing on the tv. Sitting on a nice table outdoors in midsummer is one thing - not quite so much fun in December I reckon. Will the courses be able to observe the bio-security protocols if everyone wants to keep warm indoors (because that's what usually happens at a winter jump meeting)?
Lots of bashing of the old journos on here (something I would never get involved in, innocent face), but is there somebody people would say has been consistently really good?

This is excess deaths compared to the previous 5 years average for the years 2015-2020 from week 22 onwards

Not sure of what you are trying to prove. Is it that the hundreds of people dying of Covid-19 each day is not really happening?
Partly just curiosity sparked by the Daily Mail fake graph, and while I was at it I thought I would run a little book in my head to see which lefty would accuse me of something or the other first

Many guys expect their women to be 'virgo intacta' prior to intimacy. In the 60s it was still very much the norm.

Despite their simplicity every job on a 2CV is a cauchemar although I do love them. When I was at university in France I had the fourgonette version with the 3 bar 'Belgian' grill and 650cc barrels from a Visa. I've got a 1987 Spécial SORNed the back of the barn somewhere that I occasionally think about putting back on the road but then I realise after a year of use I'll have to spend another year welding rust repairs on it.
I'm not a big bettor, but I can't say I'm surprised that Betfair has not paid up, as one side is contesting the results and there are lawsuits pending.
