FWIW, Montgomery Co, MD where I live is now doing about 0.8% of its population first dose per day, and about half that 2nd dose on top. Not too shabby.rottenborough said:
He's doing well. Can only be the case that he has stolen these doses from the EU surely?williamglenn said:3 -
It does not support vaccine nationalism and its appalling behaviourIanB2 said:CNN: For all that prominent Brexiteers talked up the idea of London becoming "Singapore-on-Thames" -- a low-tax financial hub that could de-regulate its way to stealing businesses from Europe -- and a giant in global trade, the UK's socio-economic and political systems will probably remain very European for quite some time to come.
This may seem odd, given the monumental decision Brits took in 2016, backing a campaign to leave the EU led by people like Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson -- free-market capitalists and ardent Euroskeptics.
Yet while Brits did vote by a majority of 1.3 million to leave the EU, what isn't clear is whether they really wanted to be less European.
"There are essentially two dimensions to British politics: The left-right divide on economics and [the] liberal-conservative divide on social issues," says Chris Curtis, a pollster at Opinium Research. He explains that among the political classes, these tend to correlate as social conservatives supporting right-wing economics.
It's much less clear among the general public though.
"Lots of people voted 'Leave' because they wanted the UK to have more control and they opposed immigration, but they do not support the idea of shrinking the state, deregulating, and lowering standards," Curtis adds. "Many of the leaders of the Brexit movement saw the future of the country differently."
Britain as a European nation has always been a bit of a paradox.
On one hand, the public doesn't think of itself as particularly European. On the other, it supports policies which are.0 -

I suspect if PC changed their minds and jumped into an RT lead coalition (or any coalition/supply arrangement with RT) they would be heading down the same rabbit hole as the LDs did after their UK coalition with the Conservatives. I voted PC in 2016 only to be appalled at the idea of Leanne's rainbow coalition with UKIP and the Conservatives. If I vote for them either on a candidate or list basis it isn't to furnish the Welsh Conservatives ( who make Johnson look like a Statesman) with any part in the Sennedd Government, and I suspect I would not be alone.stodge said:Evening all
I presume a "surprise" would be the Conservatives getting most votes but I just wonder if the surprise will end there.
If the numbers work that either Labour +PC or Conservative + PC would command a majority in the Senedd, there seems an assumption only the former is likely.
I wonder.
72 hours before the 2010 election, Cameron said he wouldn't do a deal with the Liberal Democrats. That's what politicians say because they want you to vote for them not for someone else. I don't know if Andrew Davies is honestly saying a Welsh Conservative Party he led couldn't work with Plaid but if the opportunity were there to replace Labour and become First Minister, are we saying he wouldn't take it?
That would be the surprise, a CON/PC Government in Wales.
I wouldn't rule it out whatever the respective Party leaders are saying now - the temptation of power can be very strong.
If the Conservatives can smash Labour and almost go it alone, that is another matter.0 -

Wales

I'd also posit that broadly you'd expect health and social care (Outside of obstetrics and paediatrics) requirements to increase with age, as well as pre-existing conditions.
So the Wales-Scotland-NI gap is not so large. England is clearly ahead.

The article mentions white supremacists twice, as far as I could see. Given that it is Minnesota, could 2 people out of a black community have run into white racists? I'd be gobsmacked if they hadn't. Is it too much to call a white racist a white supremacist? Maybe, but I'd be interested in where and how you draw the line.Cookie said:
The term 'white supremacist' seems to be trotted out far, far more often than seems credible. Either there is a massive dose of McCarthyism going on or there has been a linguitic shift such that 'white supracist' now means what 'white person' did ten years ago.Floater said:

That'd imply having a syrinx, no? A quick google produced this which implies otherwise (alas). But obviousloy some uncertainty as to when it evolved.Flatlander said:

I hadn't heard your one before but it is obviously right when you think about it. The Stegosaurus one made me worry about the authenticity of Land Before Time when I heard it. Next I will be getting told that dinosaurs didn't do singing numbers.dixiedean said:
That's like the stat that Cleopatra lived closer in time to now than to when the Great Pyramid was built.Flatlander said:
Yes, there's a misconception that all the dinosaurs were around at a similar time, but of course the Mesozoic lasted for about 180 million years. Less time separates us from Tyrannosaurus than separated Tyrannosaurus from Stegosaurus.Carnyx said:
That's grossly unfair to the dinosaurs. And it's 65 Myr for Tyrannosaurus - Stegosaurus was a lot earlier.YBarddCwsc said:
Have you seen the Welsh Tories?
A more complete collection of Stegosaurus, Velociraptors, Triceratops, Diplodocus and Tyrannosaurus has not stalked the Earth for the last 60 million years.
It is a remarkable breakthrough in palaeontology that Llafur have accomplished.
Wales is like Jurassic Park.
Llafur -- with their record of failure, cronyism and corruption since 1999 -- have managed to bring the dinosaurs back to life.
https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=189996
Presumably they did have vocalisations of some sort, though, otherwise it is hard to see how/why a syrinx might evolve. Sadly, without soft tissue there is only ever going to be a lot of speculation and not a lot of evidence...0 -

I'm not about to worry about the streets of the Channel ports being awash with unquarantined migrants based on one report from the Daily Mail.

The French pattern of cases looks rather like that of the UK in mid-December; here, of course, the Government didn't finally throw in the towel on nationwide lockdown for two further weeks, the tsunami of death reached its peak two weeks after that, and pretty much three months on from the start of lockdown we're still in it save for the schools.

Back on topic, the YouGov poll numbers give a seat projection of:
Lab 22
Con 19
PC 14
Abolish 4
LD 1
Abolish and LDs are irrelevant on those numbers but the options of a Lab/PC or Con/PC Government are both viable. It's a huge reverse for Labour and their worst ever Senedd result and it would be the best ever for the Conservatives.
I suppose the Conservatives will be hoping they can yoke PC to Labour and win against them both in 2026 though that will be strongly contingent on the result of the next GE I suspect.
Would Drakeford survive such a reverse? Perhaps his head is the price for PC's support - I don't know.0 -

We have been here many times before.stodge said:Back on topic, the YouGov poll numbers give a seat projection of:
Lab 22
Con 19
PC 14
Abolish 4
LD 1
Abolish and LDs are irrelevant on those numbers but the options of a Lab/PC or Con/PC Government are both viable. It's a huge reverse for Labour and their worst ever Senedd result and it would be the best ever for the Conservatives.
I suppose the Conservatives will be hoping they can yoke PC to Labour and win against them both in 2026 though that will be strongly contingent on the result of the next GE I suspect.
Would Drakeford survive such a reverse? Perhaps his head is the price for PC's support - I don't know.

If you haven't claimed small business rate relief previously, you can also claim it retrospectively for up to six years (I believe). Told our neighbours who also have a holiday cottage this they got 12k back...Barnesian said:
If the business rating is less than £12K you can apply for small business relief and pay nothing.MattW said:Brains Trust:
I have just received a Business Rates Bill for a small hairdressers' shop which is in my mum's estate and has been empty since the T moved on.
Still waiting for probate, so I can't sell it.
12 month bill and it is planned to sell it ASAP.
Is there anything I can do here?0 -

If PC are to look at formal coalition they will certainly demand the FM post, but will probably abandon it at an early stage.stodge said:Back on topic, the YouGov poll numbers give a seat projection of:

The LibDems will not win any seats. I am confident in that prediction. I could be wrong but I’m still confident.
Equally, I will be very surprised if Abolish the Assembly do. Since the Assembly has already technically been abolished, they are very much fighting a forgotten war.
And, no, Drakeford wouldn’t survive a really poor result, but he is helped by the paucity of alternatives.0 -
