The government are likely to have overpromised and underdelivered once again.
The irony is that the government's approach to vaccine was genuinely world beating.
The overpromise was totally unnecessary. I don't know why they haven't learned yet, whatever somebody like PHE tell them, build in a sizeable delay / margin for error. At best, you say, wow amazing work, we smashed it. At worse, you meet your target.
Its called doing a RyanAir. Never late, because they build in a sizeable delay to every journey to the quoted travel time.
So we are going to now disadvantage the UK in winning medals all in the name of diversity. The UK is never going to come close to winning an Olympic medal in things like basketball.
The whole reason the UK has had a series of successful Olympics is exactly because the concentration of funding sports where we are truly worldclass and that funding can make the difference between a medal and not....the South Korean approach.
Really we should put all funding into swimming and finding the freakiest human mutants possible - there's so many swimming medals at stake you can get very high in the tables on that alone, particularly as most rank by gold medals, not total medals.

That seems like it should not be legal. Like phony recommended retailing prices so a 'sale' shows a big drop.
As I said a couple of weeks ago, the company behind MyProtein, that is their whole business model.
I also notice more and more brands who target their marketing via social media influencers. The price is never the price, because everybody has a code to give out that gives 30-40-50% off.
I had a business that used affiliates to market, but we never jacked up prices like that or offered affiliates codes with more than ~10% off. Obviously missing a trick on a fake inflated price approach.

Truss appears to have done well with the trade agreements. However, she needs to continue that momentum (or do well in a new role) for her odds and leadership prospects to improve further.
It has come to something when maintaining the trading status quo, a status quo achieved by EU not British negotiators, with a number of countries is seen as some sort of major achievement. Still, we're in the land of the blind these days so she deserves one small cheer for doing what Liam Fox so dismally failed to do. She did not distinguish herself as Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary, however.
We can add this latest police scandal to all the many others there have been over the years. I doubt this will be the last such, no matter how many "lessons" are "learned".
Note that the Chief Constable resigned not because he felt he was at fault or should take responsibility as the man at the top but because he felt he was not the person to take the force through the changes needed. I hope this was said to salve his wounded pride. But I doubt it. The last thing anyone should be worrying about after such a report is the wounded pride of the man at the top.

This is not true. You may have to wait 15 minutes after a flu vaccine, depending on your medical history.
Obviously -- in the real world as opposed to TSE-fantasy world -- the waiting is not done in the cold.
Will genuinely transform the ease of vaccination. Game changer. Back to normal by early summer.
You and I have very different definitions of normal. How many unemployed and how much austerity is on the way?
It's pretty unreasonable to expect there to be no significant rise in unemployment. Normal in this context surely means in terms of covid-19 restrictions, not for all impacts of covid-19 to become non-existent.

Six Hampshire police officers guilty of misconduct over offensive comments

It is said that humans should live to about 120. You live a full life, keep your marbles, and at around 120, white haired and bearded (not the ladies!), you get very thoughtful and spiritual for a few days, and then at some point just quietly depart physical existence. That's the ideal.
A truly nice vision. I have always fancied toppling off a Cornish clifftop at a great age but I bet if I were to reach that great age I would change my mind. I'd keep putting it off. I probably wouldn't even risk going to Cornwall.
Peacefully in my sleep in my 90s or later please.
Yes, it'd be a shock to my descendents but I'd rather be in very good health up until then and then not know anything about it.
I want to die on my 100th birthday and I want my wife to be so upset that she cancels her 21st birthday party as a mark of respect.

I am the same. My neighbour is the local practice nurse and she says that their normal rate is one patient every 2 minutes during the flu jab campaign. Thy aim to do 150 patients a session at 2 evening sessions per week plus normal practice hours sessions for those who don't want or can't come out in the evenings.

I was clearly referring to the restrictions. I think you see what you want in what others post.
The economy number is much, much better than I anticipated. All down to Rishi's free money.
Just 80% approval for the vaccine? To be fair to Johnson that is ingratious. Probably more by accident than design he has done well with vaccines.
There are 20% of the population like TSE and Scott_P who will never, ever be gracious enough to acknowledge that Boris could ever do anything even grudgingly worth acknowledging. Even protecting them from a killer pandemic.
Johnson delenda est.
Carthago, Carthiginis is a feminine noun. Hence, Carthago delenda est.
Johnson is not. I think you need to check the case ending of your gerundive.😀

Really we should put all funding into swimming and finding the freakiest human mutants possible - there's so many swimming medals at stake you can get very high in the tables on that alone, particularly as most rank by gold medals, not total medals.
Mmm. Full size pools not restricted to private members in every LA area might be a pre-requisite first.
Will genuinely transform the ease of vaccination. Game changer. Back to normal by early summer.
You and I have very different definitions of normal. How many unemployed and how much austerity is on the way?
Alright then, back to not wearing a mask, being able hug people, a full ground at the footy/rugby/cricket/darts, popping into the local for a chat, all while being ground down by the relentless oppressive unemployment and national debt. I have every sympathy with anyone who has, is or will suffer in these awful times. It’s horrible. No one wanted this year. But allow people to cheer good news for heavens sake. Or are you too bitter and twisted to even allow that?
I will be very glad if we get lots vaccinated but we will not be back to "normal" for a long time, at least for many. That's all.
I was clearly referring to the restrictions. I think you see what you want in what others post.
Truss appears to have done well with the trade agreements. However, she needs to continue that momentum (or do well in a new role) for her odds and leadership prospects to improve further.
It has come to something when maintaining the trading status quo, a status quo achieved by EU not British negotiators, with a number of countries is seen as some sort of major achievement. Still, we're in the land of the blind these days so she deserves one small cheer for doing what Liam Fox so dismally failed to do. She did not distinguish herself as Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary, however.
We can add this latest police scandal to all the many others there have been over the years. I doubt this will be the last such, no matter how many "lessons" are "learned".
Note that the Chief Constable resigned not because he felt he was at fault or should take responsibility as the man at the top but because he felt he was not the person to take the force through the changes needed. I hope this was said to salve his wounded pride. But I doubt it. The last thing anyone should be worrying about after such a report is the wounded pride of the man at the top.
I guess you're going to be shocked by this story?

The economy number is much, much better than I anticipated. All down to Rishi's free money.
Just 80% approval for the vaccine? To be fair to Johnson that is ingratious. Probably more by accident than design he has done well with vaccines.
There are 20% of the population like TSE and Scott_P who will never, ever be gracious enough to acknowledge that Boris could ever do anything even grudgingly worth acknowledging. Even protecting them from a killer pandemic.
Johnson delenda est.
Carthago, Carthiginis is a feminine noun. Hence, Carthago delenda est.
Johnson is not. I think you need to check the case ending of your gerundive.😀
As a proud pleb, I'll settle for the sentiment over accuracy.
But surely your rhetoric is much more potent if the listener doesn't stop dead mentally when the words don't have the same and consistent gender? It's like reading "An example is the trains on the East Coast line". The listener or reader is too busy to work out what has gone wrong to be stunned by your oratory as a tribune of the plebs. the Gracchi and C. Julius Caesar would never have disdained to get their genders straight.
Classic Boris reactive decision....he if had cancelled Christmas Monday, he would have got some credit, now the PR looks terrible and captain hindsight will be along to say told you so. I did joke about him doing this on the 23rd...

Yet we were continually told on PB that replicating the EU trade deals would be impossible.
Not to mention that replicating those deals is only the first step - you can then look to build and improve upon them.
Its not as if we need to worry about the interests of olive oil producers any more for example.
It would be a shame if, after having been first off, we are shown up and overtaken by other countries for dint of their much better organisation.
However much of a shame it would be, I'm sure some would only find glee in reporting whom they would blame.
When the Boris haters (in which I include all non tories and all against Brexit) smugly report on their perceived failings of the government on anything Covid or Brexit related, is that a kind of schadenfreude?
Boris is totally the wrong leader for this time. Putting aside his personal failing of laziness etc, his core instincts arr wrong, that of liberty and to his core against the idea of locking people down and restricting their freedoms.
People say Boris is a popularist and he is, but on COVID time and time again the polls show the popular opinion is lock us down, yesterday (as long as you pay us)....and time and time again Boris chooses the, no lets wait a bit longer
Interesting. I'm planning an article on why Labour may never win again.
Yes, I remember all the commentators saying in the summer of 1992 the Conservatives were the natural party of Government and Labour the natural party of Opposition.
One Telegraph piece envisaged John Major still being PM in 2001 having won his third General Election.

Bad news, but almost convenient for him politically in giving him cover with the backbenchers and headlines he seems terrified of, without saying it is all the public's fault for being irresponsible.

Surely more likely (and more productive) to have a January lockdown from the 27th?
If you're going to have a lockdown then implement it before NYE.
It is said that humans should live to about 120. You live a full life, keep your marbles, and at around 120, white haired and bearded (not the ladies!), you get very thoughtful and spiritual for a few days, and then at some point just quietly depart physical existence. That's the ideal.
A truly nice vision. I have always fancied toppling off a Cornish clifftop at a great age but I bet if I were to reach that great age I would change my mind. I'd keep putting it off. I probably wouldn't even risk going to Cornwall.
Peacefully in my sleep in my 90s or later please.
Yes, it'd be a shock to my descendents but I'd rather be in very good health up until then and then not know anything about it.
I want to die on my 100th birthday and I want my wife to be so upset that she cancels her 21st birthday party as a mark of respect.

More infectious but less dangerous wouldn't be a bad combination.
Though the vulnerable would have to be told to shield while its spreading.
Mrs P's 88 year old father, who was given an appointment for his first Covid shot next Tuesday, was called by the GP practice today and told the appointment was going to be rearranged for after Christmas, date tbc. ☹️
Supply issues apparently. I hope it's not a sign of things to come.
Sorry to hear that, I did mention I had heard stuff like this before.
The government are likely to have overpromised and underdelivered once again.
The irony is that the government's approach to vaccine was genuinely world beating.
The overpromise was totally unnecessary. I don't know why they haven't learned yet, whatever somebody like PHE tell them, build in a sizeable delay / margin for error. At best, you say, wow amazing work, we smashed it. At worse, you meet your target.
Its called doing a RyanAir. Never late, because they build in a sizeable delay to every journey to the quoted travel time.
They genuinely thought every GP surgery was homogenous (on a physical building level) which is one of the logistical issues, I mean who thinks having a bunch of OAPs stood outside surgeries in the winter would be a good idea?
Tbf they do that at our surgery for the flu shot.
But the flu shot doesn't come with a 15 minute waiting period for reactions.
With flu shots it is in and out.
Is it? They've always made me wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Better get ready to back to the bad old days of UK winnig bugger all then....because elite sport you don't win "the right way", you win because of talent, dedication and utter single minded ruthlessness to be the best.
The Americans, the Chinese, the Australians won't be worrying about niceties. To win at most Olympic sports in the modern era the margins are absolutely tiny.

Time to cancel this 5 day free pass. It's going to result in so many unnecessary hospitalisations and deaths.
Might be wishful thinking on my part, but I get the sense that people might be having second thoughts about Christmas. Think of it like a late swing back to the government as election day approaches.
A very interesting article. Notice the two usual suspects amongs the parade of villains...
1. "The World Health Organization had just announced that an estimated 3.4% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 would die — a shockingly high fatality rate, some 30 times larger than that for seasonal influenza.There was a problem with that estimate, however: it was based on reported cases of COVID-19, rather than all cases, including mild and asymptomatic infections. “I couldn’t figure out how they could calculate it out without knowing the spread of the virus,” recalls Stefánsson"
The WHO has been disgracefully poor. It needs to be reconstituted from scratch to make it competent.
2. "On 28 February, a man returning from a skiing holiday in northeastern Italy tested positive for the virus. Within a week, the number of cases had climbed from 1 to 47, the opening notes of a coming crescendo..."
It was the fucking skiers, as usual, who infected the country.

iirc virus have a tendency to mutate to more infectious but less fatal.

How can anyone swing toward the government when no-one knows where it is standing and where it is standing now won’t be where it is standing tomorrow?
It would be a shame if, after having been first off, we are shown up and overtaken by other countries for dint of their much better organisation.
It would be a great shame, considering our centrally organised top down health service model. Poor outcomes for cancer etc. is one thing - not being able to get identical jabs in arms is quite another. If it can't do that, what's it for?
I think we should set up antiCovidiot Patrols. During my 15 minute walk to the shops and back earlier I encountered 7 groups of fools. 2 groups of kids, around ten in each group, outdoors but stood about a foot between them and blocking pathways through a garden. 4 I presume family groups of 3-5 walking side by side along the pavement, filling its width without masks and shouting to each other. 1 group of I think three families stood outside the main entrance/exit shouting to each other without masks and in the way of everybody else.
I would have loved to have had some official antiCovidiot Patrol power that I could have harangued them, photographed them, and shamed them with.

Such is the record of a Government that under-delivers on every measure.
I also notice more and more brands who target their marketing via social media influencers. The price is never the price, because everybody has a code to give out that gives 30-40-50% off.
I had a business that used affiliates to market, but we never jacked up prices like that or offered affiliates codes with more than ~10% off. Obviously missing a trick on a fake inflated price approach.
Wise to see how it evolves over the next months and when oin 2021 other countries start vaccinating in big numbers

But I am not complaining - quite the opposite. I was pleased to be able to queue outside with the wind at 90 degrees to the line. Too many idiots talkign their heads off and/or not putting masks on till jsut about to go in, or taking them off the instant they went out the door although going close to us.
Obviously -- in the real world as opposed to TSE-fantasy world -- the waiting is not done in the cold.
I didn't say the waiting is done out in the cold.
The current virus growth rate in London requires urgent action no matter whether it's due to the new strain or not.
Hopefully that should be possible by the summer

It is not true that a flu jab is in and out. It depends on your medical history.
Hope you're right on getting everyone vaccinated though.
