Stuart Galbraith Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I like that picture, its got a very good 'Game of Thrones' vibe to it. Maybe they should do a GOT follow up series in the media age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 On 6/13/2021 at 4:16 PM, rmgill said: Because Diane Abbot Not in the slightest bit surprising, and no real evidence for more than an immediate and quite understandable misinterpretation of the early information. Abbott was almost certainly responding to the ambiguous tweet from Ms. Johnson's political party, but eyewitness accounts made it clear enough that there was no "hit" going on and that the party was targeted by gang members, with Ms. Johnson an unlucky recipient of their attention. You can check the post from May 24 if you care. This video might indicate a problem if there was evidence of the false narrative being used now, but it's not, so it isn't. it is clickbait for people who prefer to express outrage about other country's problem rather than realistically addressing the ones in their own.

Stuart Galbraith Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Britain tends to create strange eccentrics. Think back on Charles Darwin, Holford Mackinder, JC Fuller, Aliester Crowley, James Corden. Thankfully its a big world, and we can usually export them so we can make them someone elses problem.

Stuart Galbraith Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) So Nicola Sturgeon in her infinite wisdom, decided to make it illegal for Scots to visit various English cities that have a high Covid rate. Something the rest of the UK has refused to reciprocate upon it should be said. Andy Burham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, says that Manchester Police will not arrest anyone they find with a Scottish accent. The Sturgeon starts to get a bit nasty, and accuses Burnham of 'generating a Spat'. 'I'm not interested': Sturgeon accuses Burnham of 'generating spat' over North West travel ban (msn.com) "The SNP are always the first to say 'the Westminster government has done something to us and not told us about it first'. "Well we're a devolved administration too here in Greater Manchester - we have a devolution from Westminster - so you would expect there to be an understanding of that from the Scottish government." Ms Sturgeon has said the decision was made over concerns about case numbers of the Delta (Indian) variant in Bolton, Salford, Manchester and Lancashire. But Mr Burnham claimed that Bolton's case rate is "significantly lower" than parts of Scotland, such as Dundee, making the ban "unfair". Bolton's seven-day average COVID case rate is 269.2 per 100,000 people, while Dundee's is 318.1. However other areas of Greater Manchester, such as Manchester itself (339.7) and Salford (340), have higher infection rates than parts of Scotland, such as Glasgow (159.1) and East Lothian (170). Announcing the ban, which came into effect on Saturday, Ms Sturgeon said: "Anyone travelling elsewhere in the Greater Manchester or Lancashire area, I'd ask to think carefully about whether your journey is really necessary, because we do see cases rising across that region." But opposition politicians in Scotland have said the decision "doesn't make sense". Lib Dem MSP Alex Cole-Hamilton applauded Mr Burnham for standing up to the first minister, saying that some parts of Scotland have "transmission rates equal to that of Manchester". I like to think the Scots are starting to get wise to this lunatic, but I fear this dog and pony show has a long way to run yet.
