Azza Bamboo posted:Orthopedics is basically woodwork/metalwork but with more surgical masks. There was historically a problem with orthopaedic surgeons losing the screwdrivers that match bone implants, and just using one from home instead. This causes problems because if the metal composition isn't the same, the tiny filings of metal that come off when you tighten up the screws form a battery in the salty electrolyte of plasma and you get galvanic corrosion of the implants, and whatever metal ions leaking out. Bad times.

jaete posted:But international law right now states that Brexit will happen. That's the default. Where is the will & energy on 1) UK side 2) EU side to enter negotiations to make it not happen? The reasoning that I have seen is that moving the actualization date to later is easier to accomplish than negotiating a soft Brexit and that a hard Brexit would be unbearable for both parties under the forthcoming economic depression. COVID+Hard Brexit is not 1929 bad, it's Germany after 30 years war bad. Of course this doesn't mean that they manage not to bungle it up, but maybe without Bojo something fortunate happens.

Whoever guessed Trump would be trying to finish Johnson off with an anti-malariarial overdose was predictably correct. He's been on television pushing Johnson to take what I can only guess would be a massive Chloraquine suppository. If Boris does pull through, Trump will probably be boasting for weeks about how he personally saved his life.

While it's the obvious and expected approach it's so obviously tempting fate to have all the big Tories going on TV screaming about how solid the continuity of government is and how smooth the transition to Raab in charge was.

ronya posted:Labour did in fact go to the election with the very tensely-negotiated commitment in 2017 that freedom of movement will end, something Ed "Controls on Immigration mugs" Miliband didn't countenance in the slightest. I thought this was simply a statement of fact. The 2017 position was that we will Brexit. Brexit means the end of EU freedom of movement, by definition. What was left fuzzy was what would replace that.

There is a 8pm ‘clap for Boris’ thing tonight doing the rounds on social media - I wonder if people will leave politics aside and go for this ? I’m not his biggest fan but given the alternatives and what he’s done since he’s been PM, he gets my support at this time of ill health. Right now in this global situation countries need their leaders to do exactly that, lead.

Partially because it is performative bollocks, partially because we didn't "leave politics aside" for all the people who have died already of Covid. Partially because what is a "leader" supposed to do? Because it is fairly obvious that whatever they are supposed to do, Boris sure as hell hasn't been doing it.

If I may interrupt the Boris death chat, are there any comparative study of austerity vs if austerity had not been taken. I'm having a conversation with someone who doesn't believe austerity increased or hastened the the mortality rate, when I gave him various studies he retorted that doing nothing would have killed more, I tried to explain it wasn't an either or moment.

feedmegin posted:I thought this was simply a statement of fact. The 2017 position was that we will Brexit. Brexit means the end of EU freedom of movement, by definition. What was left fuzzy was what would replace that. No - there was always the possibility of the common market, or a common market, and a corresponding embrace of four freedoms including freedom of movement. Demanding both "exact same benefits" of the customs union and also demanding an end to freedom of movement was the Government strategy, however. This would eventually blow up in May's face (as we know) but whilst May lasted, the opposition likewise decided not to risk a strategy attacking the government on its impossible demands and instead opted to play along to make the Tories own their Toryxit (this was a strategy much promoted ITT as well, remember?). Starmer's six tests launched just before the election made this explicit. Condition two was access to the common market. Condition three was controls on immigration. Labour did not want to wind up being the scapegoat for whatever Mayxit turned out to be... this wasn't some statutory obligation or international agreement, it was a party political strategy formed in the aftermath of the Scottish referendum, where Labour in opposition had been pinned by what terms the coalition govt decided the Scottish referendum would be fought on, and had promptly paid the price for in GE2015. One can argue about its pros/cons as a strategy, but it remains that it was an unforced strategic choice

I don't remember Labour ruling this out? EU Freedom Of Movement all caps was always going to go, unless we cancelled Brexit altogether. Labour stated this as a matter of fact, not something to be revelling in the streets about. 'A Common Market' New Immigration Agreement wasn't, as far as I'm aware, off the table. Of course, it's all a bit academic now.
