The latest @ONS weekly data shows 8.1% of year 7-11 have tested +ve for COVID. Yes, schools are hubs of infection. We have made them so: no masks, bubbles, rapid testing, etc. To say they are not is & was bizarre. Why on earth have PHE persisted with this crap theory? 1/2
It is no coincidence that this number is so extraordinarily high. It didn’t need to be this way. These kids could have all been vaccinated at least once by now. They could be protected by mask-wearing, improved ventilation, etc. But none of that is true. This is a scandal. 2/2
I am not blaming school children. I am fucking furious with government. My children and yours are not the playthings of Johnson and Javid. They are not a convenient way of approaching herd immunity cheaply. Absolute bastards.
Fuck civility.

I think it is time to demand an apology of those promoting this wibble. Rational scientists, no not you anti-vaxx for adolescents asshats, need to speak up, do so loudly, demand apologies and that this nonsense pre-print be removed. Now will be soon enough.

‘The government and its senior officials claim Covid should be regarded as similar to influenza and that we have to “learn to live with it”.’

This is a ‘plan’ to allow them to ignore COVID and do next to nothing, as now. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
‘The delay in vaccinating young people is all the more surprising given that the government and their advisers have put all of their eggs into the vaccination basket.’
‘The Sars-CoV-2 virus has de facto changed the definition of fresh or purified air. As other countries are doing, the government should respond to that altered reality and fund an urgent programme of improving workplaces before winter arrives.’

Sumption is talking nonsense on radio 4. He is denying most COVID deaths are from COVID. He is making the nonsense argument that most people die with COVID. This is an utter falsehood. He should never be interviewed again, since when he is interviewed it misinforms the public.
Approximately 90% of people with COVID on their death certificates (>150,000 people) have it identified as the underlying cause of death. For comparison, the equivalent for flu is approx 10%.
For clarity, the over 150K is the 100% figure.

Unfreedom Day

Stop all the clocks, put away your smartphone,
Unfreedom day is coming, more grieving must be borne,
Who will silence the fools and muffle the spin?
Bring out the coffins, untruth did win.
The many liars love their lying,
But the truth is clear, 'Our Country is Dead'.
“Keep the lies simple, repeat, they’ll accept”.
The Leave liars won, all has been wrecked.
There was the North, the South, the East and West,
I loved my country, it felt best,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
But liars lie, authoritarians rise. I was wrong.

Bugger logic, apparently. That Nissan staying, after receiving £61million in 2019 and £100million or so in 2021 onwards from UK government & an £80million spend by Sunderland council on infrastructure, is portrayed as some sort of Leave victory does indeed bugger logic.
If my numbers are right, and assuming there is not additional government funding hidden, that’s about £40K per job we have spent to keep Nissan in Sunderland. I am not an economist but I think it fair to say that that is bad economics for the UK. Good for Nissan though.

Brexit.
And this nonsense from government about Nissan, intended to trick the British public into thinking government is doing a good job, appears on a by-election day.

Electoral Commission, what will you do about this? @ElectoralCommUK
