I voted Green for PCC because they were the only way who said 'Actually the Bristol police need to be investigated for their conduct on protests' and that was enough for me. Put in TUSC for mayor and no other votes because Labour candidates need to earn my vote. 1825 - February 10 – Simón Bolívar gives up his title of dictator of Peru and takes the alternative title of El Libertador.

https://twitter.com/DevanSinha/status/1390388896433942544 Extremely bad news that we *still* don't have quarantine or test trace and isolate sorted out so the Indian variant is just ripping through care homes, but cautiously extremely good news that even at only half strength the AZ vaccine meant it caused no deaths* and only a small amount of serious cases** in an extremely vulnerable population. Obviously it's a very small sample but still encouraging. * The infection fatality rate for care homes is an eye-watering 36% ** serious as in requiring hospitalisation, although none required ventilation (over 50% of infected people in that age range normally do and of those most will die)

goddamnedtwisto posted:https://twitter.com/DevanSinha/status/1390388896433942544 This is my least favourite thing about all this. They've learned nothing. You could almost maybe not really forgive a totally inept March (ok Feb) to June last year if they were a) coming out with honest admissions of having screwed up and stating that they now understand - lockdowns are an immediate but short-term response while you sort out... - ...test, trace and isolate, which is the actual weapon for keeping the country going - doing the above requires paying all people, regardless of employment type, their full normal pay to stay home if isolating or infected - yes even if that means paying some people "too much" by accident - children, even if they don't get ill, are always filled with all the germs - hand washing is good, but masks from day 1 is probably more useful with a respiratory virus - to do that, you need to have masks in stock - encouraging people back to the office while getting the police to yell at them for resting on a park bench is the opposite of a good idea ...and b) actually doing those things now, while the pandemic is still ongoing. Even if it were "captain hindsight" wrt last year (it's not, this was all known at the time), it's now called "foresight" and is still necessary for a good few months if we're really lucky. This is directed equally at the UK and Dutch govs, who have hosed this in very similar fashions, centred on capitalism and a national sense of superiority and exceptionalism. I'm am angrey.

Guavanaut posted:Also ventilation. If we'd treated the whole thing using miasma theory we'd be ahead of treating it using take it on the chin theory. Yeah, that too. The whole response seems to have treated it like norovirus (I think?), where touching objects infected people have touched is a big thing (which is apparently called "fomite transmission"), and that viruses expelled from the mouth fall harmlessly to the ground in a 1.5m radius around the infected person. This article goes into some of the same points: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/02/how-public-health-messaging-backfired/618147/

The incompetence is so staggering, what are we gonna do if we end up in a big war? Might as well just roll over and die because it'll take a year just to hand out the guns to the army

Handing out guns to the army is for killing poor people, and the processes for that are extremely efficient.

I voted for the Lib Dem fella in the Councillor by election as he was the only candidate that came round knocking doors and actually answering questions. Also had some decent aims. As I was walking back home my neighbour two doors down told me he also voted for the Lib Dem as he was "the only white person on the menu." So I got to vote the same way as a racist, which is 'great'

For those of you who did (or didn't) take your canine companions to the polling station, here's a twitter hashtag for you: https://twitter.com/hashtag/DogsAtPollingStations (NB it's a hashtag, not a tweet (lots of tweets with that tag) so it's not a 'disappeared' tweet.)

I mean I haven't heard jemphrey before but it's a surname and I gave up expecting them to fit any sort of pattern years ago. Again it has a pretty unambiguous pronunciation/spelling therefore it is already doing better than many.Jaeluni Asjil posted:It's mostly Scottish isn't it? My relative is scottish so yeah I assume it is some variety of gaelic, what I mean is that even a lot of names that allegedly evolved along with the english language still have terrible spelling in it. I'm not sure whether I would swap to german if given the choice, very good spelling in that language but terrible genders. Let's go back to middle english.

Total conjecture, but given he was one of the vocal anti-Corbyn MPs who lost his seat in 2019, I presume they see him as somebody who honourably fell on his sword for the cause and that they owed him. Just incredibly savvy.
