He's also become decidedly less edgelordy as he got older; all the poo poo people (justly) rag on him for is ten years back at this point. On the other hand he did support Leave, so you can bash on him for that.

Ennis is like a Frankenstein made entirely of the body parts of Internet edgelord teenagers, including the insufferable eye-rolling when you say it should be Frankenstein's Monster. Almost everything he makes is either obscene because he seems to think the reader should endure the obscene, or approaches a real message or idea by way of obscenity that. Most of his stuff is just "what if they're evil tho, maeks u think" and he is obsessed with upping the body count and/or raw sadism in everything he touches. Actually the best way to explain him is that he grew up in NI in the Troubles and the lesson he took from it was that religion was entirely to blame, and he wrote some thing or other he explicitly called wish fulfillment about shooting up a religious school. He also hates traditional two-fisted superheroes for some reason.

Unless you're an absolute Royle fanatic there's just not that much you can say. It's not like a rolling news story where the story develops over time or like Diana's death where there was a lot of speculation and innuendo surrounding the circumstances - the guy was 99 and looked like a lich. Unless it turns out Brenda and Charles had been slowly poisoning him there's not much juicy goss to be had out of the situation. So I can't imagine people with a casual interest wanting to watch more than a few minutes of repetitive, sycophantic coverage.

I'm still skeptical because I suspect we'll hit at least another couple of supply squeezes between now and then, but at this point there's nothing impossible about the schedule as laid out.

it's always intersting how at least one person comes along to tell off people in the thread for celebrating the illness or death of a royal or a tory. you should never make the mistake of attributing any humanity to those people imoGort posted:I see average deaths per day have started increasing again for the first time since late January the ONS counts one royal death as 100,000 deaths, probly

I'm pretty sure when Lizzy carks it the mandatory month of mourning will end with a pre-recorded speech about how she's taking everyone with her, and the nukes will detonate in five minutes.

Let me guess, there are no plans to provide it free to under 40s, but private healthcare firms will start providing them to anyone who wants to pay for it. Lathe of what now?

It seems like the best thing for the Royal family as an institution would be if all the old ones quickly and quietly died off, leaving just the young ones that are better at hiding their racism and don't look like ghouls yet. People are gonna get pretty tired of them if there's mourning for Prince Andrew next year, and then the Queen dies and then there's the big thing where Prince Charles becomes king and his wife who everyone hates for some reason becomes queen and their pictures go up on all the public buildings.

I don't think this would work due to real world constraints. They will still try. Much like how they didn't want a second lockdown but the reality of hospitals made them in the end. They will try and force the under 50's to pay, no one will bother and the rest of the world will go 'wtf are you doing? Vaccinate your population now you loving bellends' and grudgingly they'll eventually make it free. It's not helped by the media circus surrounding AZ. It gets a new piece of bad press every other week. I have no idea if its the American pharma companies pushing this poo poo, it feels like it, but maybe not? I'm sure they're loving it either way. So now no one wants our primary vaccine. And we don't have any of the other ones because 1) cost and 2) supply issues I still think the big pharma companies are mostly behind the fear and doubt campaign but eh, to everyone else it just looks like Boris and Britain have hosed it again and that's a silver lining Regarde Aduck fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Apr 10, 2021 |

Like it's this really weird silence about the whole thing. I'm fairly certain they won't attempt to make people pay... but at the same time I really wouldn't be surprised if by mid summer non-AZ jabs were available on private prescriptions.

Gort posted:I see average deaths per day have started increasing again for the first time since late January New cases are still falling though, so I assume it's a blip. Typically, you start to see a rise in deaths about 3 weeks after a rise in new cases. I've been doing some sums myself and the average death rate has been consistently falling by about a third every seven days for ages now. I'd expect us to be down to a dozen deaths a day or fewer by the end of April.
