Lo, it is the non poo poo Polly Toynbee article appearing like a hairy star in the heavens (even if it does praise Brown's Reaganomics).

It's loving poo poo because Toynbee is the perfect example of a middle-aged, middle-class person who laments the plight of the poor and disenfranchised but then maddeningly refuses to support the actual solutions to those problems.

I could've gone to Blatherwycke



Regarding all the old Defence Establishments, I grew up within walking distance of HMS Wildfire and explored a lot of it as a youngster. There was a separate entrance from the main one at the Gatehouse and the one Subbrit used, we unbricked the window and could climb right in. This was only a year or 2 after Chatham Dockyard had closed and there were still patrols of the area by Military Police.

My partner's boss sent her a message this morning along the lines of "we should check on Dan, I'm concerned he doesn't have any work to do". There's no specific work that isn't getting done, but he just has a fear that he might be paying somebody who isn't grinding for it

My very own boss, who is a neurotic micro-manager who only cares about the projects (and whose principle concern about the virus has been "but the project!!") is also concerned that people won't have enough to do while working from home. (We're a non-profit so there's not even any money involved, it's just her trying to meet Her Objectives)

Fortunately I have years of experience in being a lazy fucker and I know exactly what to say and do to achieve maximum slacking while making it look like I'm super busy.

Lol they are bringing back the income support benefit for the self employed, which is basically also the first step towards killing UC.

If anyone is wondering where I’m at it’s “food vouchers from a special needs school” so that would be the undisputed moral high ground in internet argument with old people then.

During the cold war an APC started driving around the houses on camp. It was blasting, "all personnel to their stations, this is not a drill" through its bull horns. Dad thought this was the moment he'd been training for. He said goodbye to mum and headed to work.

Turns out a plane had rained down from the sky over the village of Lockerbie, a few miles North of the base. He avoided being called out to the cleanup but was called in to cover for those who were sent out.

Peter Coffin is a very strange individual.

He had a whole thing where he made some lovely comments about a female Asian blogger on twitter, got called out for it, and invented a Japanese girlfriend for himself to prove he wasn't racist against Asians, including making a twitter account for her and defending him, and further slagging off the Asian blogger.

He got found out and was one of the first people to be "cancelled" on the internet.

Also there's this:

That's weird and bad, and it sounds like he was a douche back then, but he seems pretty good on stuff these days? He does some decent videos where he analyses whatever through a marxist lens, to help people reframe stuff that's going on as a product of the system we live in, and his politics and attitudes while he does that are pretty Correct. I dunno if he's still on some bullshit on social media though

That dick kicking video is legit though. Strike and seize the means of production. What the heck

The evidence for them being specifically bad in respiratory infection is generally of poor quality with many papers that are poorly designed and over-reach in their conclusions from what I have seen.

Which of these two contradictory sentences do you consider to be true? ‘No evidence’ really should mean no evidence, not ‘in my expert professional judgement, the available evidence does not meet the required standards of proof’.

For example, there is no evidence that humans cannot breathe unaided on the far side of the Moon. And any proposals for a rigorous clinical trials would fail on both funding and ethical grounds. But I wouldn’t recommend making plans on that basis.

The mainstream professional judgement of French and German doctors is and always has been that you should not take Nurofen or equivalents for flu-like illnesses. Fever is the immune system’s response to infection; a drug to suppress that response is, to them, not something that should ever be administered without specific medical advice.

Other medical systems have different default views, which is why the WHO has been giving conflicting advice.

Everyone needs to be careful interpreting data at the moment, particularly if you're not an expert. There's a difference between recommending paracetamol over NSAIDs for fever in respiratory infection, and cautioning against NSAIDs.

Cardiff here - I work in a Co-Op - we're still getting deliveries daily, bread, milk etc. They sell out, but are generally in stock until 4-5pm.
The stuff we don't normally get regularly (tinned toms, pasta etc) has been emptied and not replaced yet, and eggs go the day they come in (we don't get eggs every day).
Still got beer / wine though, which is more than can be said for the big supermarkets I went out to over the weekend.

on the one hand, I genuinely appreciate all the people out there doing stuff, on the other hand, what they actually need is ppe and tests and this sounds incredibly cringe

I'm still a little surprised I haven't seen any UK balcony singing videos, but I suspect that's some combination of us generally not having as many balconies, not having a proper lockdown, and not having much of a mass singing tradition beyond football and maybe Christmas carols?
