Jose posted:Remember when he promoted a Nazi conspiracy theory? And edited his own Wikipedia page to delete coverage of it. Another "SA rules the world" data point, the wikifiddler leading the charge to put it back and keep it there was David Gerard, aka divabot (although David's one of those people who's somehow a regular poster on literally every website on the internet - I had arguments with him on Usenet when SA was still a twinkle in Lowtax's spine - so we can't take 100% credit for him)

Katty! posted:went to the shop earlier on and everyone was very good about queuing outside and toeing the big yellow lines, though as soon as you actually get indoors the big arrows may as well not exist and any attempt to maintain distance is foiled by people taking up half an aisle with their trolley as they paw through all the tinned tomatoes for 15 minutes This social distancing thing has really highlighted to me the people in supermarkets who stop, block the aisle and just stare at a random selection of goods for an extraordinary length of time. What are they thinking about? It is a mystery.

Starmer's full comments, for the record:quote:“I do support Zionism. I said that last night. I absolutely support the right of Israel to exist as a homeland.” This is not controversial among the rather large portion of the population who's never waved a Palestinian flag or worn a keffiyeh. What was that the Ashcroft focus groups were saying about Labour only being interested in talking to itself?

Pistol_Pete posted:This social distancing thing has really highlighted to me the people in supermarkets who stop, block the aisle and just stare at a random selection of goods for an extraordinary length of time. What are they thinking about? It is a mystery. I stand the opposite side of the aisle to the goods I'm looking at - I might be surveying all the different biscuits or whatever to decide which to buy given my constraints (eg I might have 500 calories 'to spend' on something nice, so am surveying all the biscuits to choose between the various 100g packs (approx 500 cals/100g of biscuits) or whether I should test my willpower by buying a larger pack and expecting to eat some today, some tomorrow and some the day after (the answer being no - the quantum of biscuits is the packet). It's easier to stand in one place to get a wide angle view and see a selection across several bays without having to move around rather than trying to peer close up and having to move up and down the aisle. Ed: especially for things on the lower shelves which for a tall person with a back inclined to 'go' at the slightest provocation).

Jose posted:good news for the herd immunity plan The more likely explanation is that the negative tests were erroneous, but it does highlight just how fast and loose we're playing with our shorter-than-recommended quarantine period for symptomatic cases that the virus is still around in detectable amounts up to three weeks after the symptoms resolve.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Ok will do. That's interesting, I only just thought about it when my phone wanted me to read a story about how insurers are about to see a billion pound windfall from underutilized cars still being proper insured. The company I work for has a tool for bodyshops to report insurance cases to insurances (not in the UK). At the start of this week the volume was down about a third compared to February. I can’t give a year-over-year number since the volume in total is still growing and we’re adding new insurances and bodyshops. Partially this is from some bodyshops being closed, partially this is obviously from less people driving around, partially from people not bringing in small damages cause they want to have their car available in these times.

farenheit451 posted:[delurk] By contrast, all the stay-at-home stuff is intended to make every person who gets the virus give it to fewer people. That massively slows down the growth rate of the infection. If you’re lucky it slows down enough that on average each infected person infects fewer than one other person, in which case the outbreak shifts from exponential growth to exponential decay and you’ve successfully avoided the herd immunity scenario where 80% of the country get it. But even if you’re not lucky, you still slow things down enough that fewer people have it at once at the peak and the country gets a little less hosed than it otherwise would. The big problem is not that we’ve kept the airports open - as long as you’ve banned non-essential travel, and as long as the outbreak’s still going, it genuinely doesn’t make sense to close them yet. The big problem is that our stay-at-home measures are lukewarm poo poo with unclear rules and uneven enforcement. It’s basically enforced by the honour system, and a whole lot of non-essential workplaces are still open and still requiring their employees to come in. Right now I’m fairly sure we’re still on track for most of the country to get this thing, with the aging tories spreading it far and wide in one final act of spite towards their descendants.

I was wondering, with the UK looking to be one of the worst affected European countries at this point, how will this play politically? Like I get whatever excuses but surely even the most ardent conservatives will look at the fact that you are an island, had a good month on Italy and still walked into this?

The main thing I've noticed when going to the supermarket is that people are happy obeying the two metre rule while queueing... But on the way to the queue will walk directly past everyone, because there's a barrier in between them. I'd laugh it off as one of those blind spots people have if wasn't going to kill shitloads of people.

Guavanaut posted:Someone should ask him if Afrikaners deserve a homeland. The official Labour party position remains that the party is committed to two-state solution, achieved via peaceful negotiations, that lead to a secure Israel and a viable Palestine, so Starmer has plenty of party ground to stand on here. The first thing that the ANC did in the peace negotiations was agree to suspend the armed struggle and disarm (in practice they retreated to Uganda and Tanzania, but nonetheless the disarmament was effective: the attacks stopped. The inability of any Palestinian leadership to enforce any disarmament it theoretically agrees to is the big I/P sticking point) Composite 12 passed last year at Conference tried to smuggle in a big asterisk to the two state solution (it demanded a 1967 borders Israel with Palestinian right of return, i.e., tacitly for two states both with a Palestinian majority, assuming the third generation in Jordan does want to migrate back) but even its cautious phrasing got immediately discarded at the subsequent Clause V manifesto meeting, which reverted to the Milibandesque language
