Lockdowns over

If we were talking about South Asian people and one particular poster kept going on about curries, would you not think they were a bit racist?

He's picked upon a stereotype that black people eat fried chicken and repeated it twice. It is out of order.

 

But I did give you a reason. Perhaps you didn't get that far. Manipulation. Cummings is a manipulator.

 

In hindsight I'd agree. When it's pointed out i'd say it's an issue i'm quite naive about.

 

Not saying he is a racist, but it is coming across that way.

 

I think a lot of folk are. I was talking to my daughter and the young uns seem a lot more clued up, in that way I think social media is a good thing.

 

There is a theory (intragenerational homogeneity) that suggests people of the same generation have more in common with each other - irrespective of where they are in the world - than they do with people of older generations.

 

I might be giving him too much credit; but I’d suggest it was written to purposefully be inflammatory whilst allowing for some deniability.

Using lazy fried chicken eating stereotypes? How’s that even racist?

at least it’s informed everyone’s opinions now - he’s gone from a bit of a dick to full on wanksplash.

 

Hospital admissions have increased this week over last week.

 

This makes a lot of sense. They’ve lived through the same world changing events, they’ve used the same technology, they’ve had similar jobs, etc.

You only have to watch an old film to see how things have changed.... and old to you, will mean something completely different to another generation.

 

Deaths are well under the 7 day rolling average. Tests are over 200k for the first time. Confirmed cases are under the 7 day rolling average. 179 less people on a ventilator from this time last week. 7,312 people in hospital with Covid down a huge 1,246 from this time last week. Face coverings finally made mandatory for public transport although it should have been for any indoor place the public can enter.

You are right though 505 admissions up from 475 a week ago. 1,257 hospitals in England so the increase of 30 is like each hospital getting 0.02 more patients than this time last week.

 

The real hit of a rise may be in a week or two though. After the week of sunshine, beaches, and protests.

 

You can vote by proxy or a postal vote as I can. So by extension you therefore are suggesting you should not be able to vote if you live outside the area where you reside, be be it country or constituency.

Logic isn't your strong point is it? It merely confirms that, unfortunately a degree does not guarantee common sense. . I have seen plenty of examples of that over the years ! Your claims therwise are Ironic given the PM and many politicians you regularly disparage also have degrees! Muppet!

 

Incoming insults coming over the air bridge here.

 

He was in Corbyn's shadow cabinet, but is now a back bencher, so hasn't got a job to be sacked from. The most they could do is withdraw the whip, which would effectively make him an independent MP.

 

That's been the case throughout. Every daily figure hasn't included many deaths that have actually happened in the last 24 hours and the majority have occurred over several weeks. You keep saying this as if it's something new. Hospital admissions have gone up today compared to yesterday by the way.

 

The biggest hole in that story (and there are many ) is that the Tory’s borrow more for tax reductions tan the Labour Party have ever done .
Also Labour borrow for social Projects for the many .

 

It's ironic he's drawing attention to social distancing breaches. He seemed to find it incredibly difficult to do the right thing himself during lockdown.

 

Nice, not sure why you keep being abusive.

I made it very clear already that I feel you shouldn't be able to vote for anywhere other than where you live.

 

Except he said that he would only wish for people overseas not to vote. I don't see how that can be interpreted as him saying that people should not be able to vote on their home constituencies. Also weren't you on your high horse a few pages ago re: personal insults?
