Plus wasn't there a whole thing about viruses tending to transmit less over the summer or something? So there might be a contribution to the autumn spike in cases anyway. My parents have got it at the moment but they're both double vaxxed and have been frankly pushing their luck ever since, so no sympathy unless it gets serious. Dad's over it having had flu symptoms for a day or so and now Mum's got it. I've been trying to get them to take paracetamol but it's like trying to get a geordie to put a coat on.

keep punching joe posted:Lol didn't realise higher income peeps pay less NI, just assumed it was flat across the population. I've been saying forever that any actual progressive party would have abolition of NI as the very item in their manifesto (settle down Crispix). Between the ridiculous taper, the exclusion for capital gains and dividends, and the ease with which it can be dodged, it's almost ridiculously regressive. Of course the people it benefits most are the HENRY types with multiple "jobs" like, you know, journalists and MPs, so it'll never get touched.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:Excuse me? There is a new variant, Mu, which is cropping up around the world at a speed that suggests it might be able to out-compete Delta. At the moment there aren't enough cases for anyone to (publicly) speculate as to whether it is deadlier than Delta or how existing vaccines work against it, but any variant that can easily evade the AZ vaccine is of *massive* concern to the UK because most of our most vulnerable people got the AZ jab and we don't seem to be too bothered about topping them up with an mRNA booster.

Guavanaut posted:I do wonder how much of it is the zeal of the convert. Both in the figurative political sense in that most of the neocons themselves were some form of Trot or Maoist long ago, and just kept the "well someone has to suffer" part, and in the literal religious sense that oftentimes people who are born and raised Roman Catholic enjoy a Christmas service and give up chocolate for Lent whereas politically active people who make a big show of converting as adults are statistically more likely to start ranting about how the Mohammedans control the Holy Land and Planned Parenthood eats babies (same goes for some dorks like David Myatt who do it with fundamentalist Islam mostly as an excuse to continue being a dick). I always wonder what Blair actually thinks, then I remember intentions are meaningless and only the surface detail exists. My best guess tho is he only really cares about his legacy and the only course of action to protect that is to endlessly double down on I was correct then and I'm correct now; any contrition or change of course is game over.

Private Speech posted:Remember how everyone sensible was making fun of the Brexit predictions that water treatment plants won't be able to get enough treatment chemicals. No, people were making fun of the specific claim that the UK would not have sufficient chemicals to treat drinking water[1], not that the Tories would let their chums in the privatised utilities go "welp" and dump raw sewage if they pinky swear it was too hard not to. Be better than the fubpees (and the Tories) who claim that this poo poo is because of Brexit and not because of Tories being Tories. [1] The concern was specifically about sodium hypochlorite because we import it all from Europe, and it cannot be safely stockpiled - except it *can* be safely stockpiled in dilute form, which is how it's used (you almost certainly have some of it diluted in your house right now as it's the main active ingredient of household bleach) and also we don't actually use it for treating drinking water apart from in certain circumstances, and other chemicals which we do produce in-country can be used in those circumstances.

Private Speech posted:I mean: Right but that's still got nothing to do with drinking water, which is what the big scare was, and also it's literally just giving the water companies a get out of jail free card for something they were gleefully doing in 2015, using the current general logistics problems as a fig leaf. FWIW chemical shortages just aren't the reason why sewage gets dumped into waterways apart from in periods of extreme drought. Almost all waste water treatment in the UK is by sediment filtering and biodigestion - the only time we need to chemically treat (domestic) waste water is if severe drought means that there's not enough rainwater coming into the sewage plants for those to work, then all you can do is dump a shitload of bleach in and hope for the best. The reason we're dumping sewage into waterways is because we're getting more and more extreme weather, we're concreting over poo poo, and the majority of our sewage system is at best Edwardian. When heavy rain has nowhere to go but a combined sewage system that's designed for a quarter of the population that actually uses it now, it's all got to go *somewhere* so off into the nearest river with it.

It's reducing the difference that higher rate tax payers pay over the threshold from a 18% gap to a 17% gap. If you earn £50,283 or £99,999 you'll have the same reduction to your take home.
