Who was the last PM to die in office?
Spencer Perceval, but he had assistance. Also the last MP to be assassinated for non-Irish reasons until Jo Cox.

e: No wait Palmerston was still technically in office when he died, but he was mostly in bed.

Brown hares are a protected species, and a priority species under the Biodiversity Framework, not ‘pests’
They still get shot by farmers for acting like pests, and our system at the moment encourages them to do that with shotguns, which sling a lot of lead around into the environment and are generally unsuitable for semi-rural use near housing.

They're also an invasive species that was brought here for sport by the Romans, but my point was that it's stupid that air rifles are more tightly controlled than shotguns, not the merits of any individual species.

When this outbreak broke there was a lot of talk about how many Extra Corporeal Membrane Oygenators China had, like half a dozen on each coronavirus ward.
Then it all went quiet about ECMOs. Probably because it turns out that Britain only has 30, and unlike ventilators there's no chance of James Dyson bodging one together in his shed over the weekend.
I wonder if they'll find one for Boris when his lungs fill up?

britain had ~5 in england last i looked, and as far as effectiveness i've only aware of 3 people having ECMO tried on them. the theory was it'd be extremely effective but all of them died, that doesn't mean it can't be effective but it's not a miracle cure-all anyway

and the average time for first symptom->complication requiring hospitalisation is 10 days, so boris is on track there. for anyone keeping track at home death is 22d after first symptom, but i doubt we're on that timeline (and there's significant variance there ofc)

there's really no reason for him to be in the hospital 'for tests' unless it was medically required, from a PR and healthcare standpoint

I mean, if anything is going to derail the Tories it's going to be all of their "big hitters" suddenly dropping.

Also, does anyone have any analysis of 2019 and 2017 elections? In terms of what can and should be done from a socialist perspective.

I haven't seen it online, but I'm sure the BBC TV news has just announced that Calderwood has resigned. But now they're showing the Queen, so who knows.

99% sure I didn't just imagine that.

Probably for the best, she's too easy a target for people to point to when they don't want to stay the gently caress indoors.

this 'scandal' that the telegraph dude is tweeting about is that in 1998 Dodds sent out an email asking people to work on her student politics campaign, the uni said that was against the rules but an understandable mistake and fined her a token 25 quid, which the student paper wrote up as 'sleaze and scandal as dirty dodds is punished for corruption'. when asked about it 20 years later, Dodds was like 'oh that, yeah, the editor didn't like Labour much' and Freeman had a loving meltdown

quote:

In response, Michaelmas 1998 Editor Hadley Freeman, who is now a columnist for The Guardian, said: “Dodds’ claim is almost as laughable as it is libellous.

“The idea that a student paper is organised enough, or even morally motivated enough, to execute political takedowns is actually rather flattering. Still, how delightful it must be to still—at the age of almost 40—blame one’s youthful regrets on non-existent conspiracies."

After all, both the editor and deputy editor of Cherwell at that time [Rachel Williams] did go on to work at that natural HQ of anti-Labour saboteurs, The Guardian, so her claim does take on a new tinge. And of course, national political climate being what it was back in the autumn of 1998, there was no more obviously reader-pleasing pose for a student paper to adopt than an anti-Labour one."

“Bravo, Anneliese, on coming up with such a watertight theory!”
lol, a funny tinge indeed

The only way to have prevented the 2019 election was for the pilot to panic and try to pull up harder out of the stall in 2010, with a faster resultant ground impact.

The company I work for offered to do this. Instead I ended up on the team that's working on getting face-masks made instead, because bojo told us to gently caress off since G-tec wasn't the prefered supplier or some poo poo.

(We tried to work with a 3d printing initiative to do said facemasks, but turns out they're all but self-serving cons designed to sell 3d printers and filament, and wanted nothing to do with an actual injection moulding firm making the face masks instead.

So now we're working with the NHS directly who've given us all the deets themselves, heck yea. We're tooling up to get 3000/day made by wednesday and I think a second tool will be commisioned soon after, so I can see this turning into an actual company division after this is all over.)
