Also those look like just the regular gates, for EU citizens, used by Brits for at least another year, that are in a busy airport for the day that everybody is going home after Feb half term.

Slavery in America though, I too was never really taught about the British role in the slave trade.

eh

the labour left whipped itself into a bit of a frenzy up towards the 2019 GE, and had been pretty much openly in denial about their position for about half a year before that. the 2019 manifesto was basically the dream manifesto for a lot of young leftie types (and hell, british labour's 2019 manifesto should be mined by parties of the left throughout europe for years to come, it's got some seriously great policy work) but they were mostly locked into their own communities and simply couldn't comprehend how strong brexit sentiment was - they lost badly becaues of forces they genuinely couldn't understand.

I feel personally attacked

Yeah for better or worse the next election shouldn't be being fought over Brexit, which severely undermined Labour for the past two years.

For the same reason I'm alot more optimistic about Bernie in the US, for all their culture war bullshit they don't have an issue that has driven their entire country completely psychotically insane in the same way Brexit ended up doing here

That's going to change once they're locked up inside - even if, funnily enough, it's a more valid part of the response.

still sort of waiting for the first actual government response, tbh

saying "huh maybe think about not gathering so much" doesn't count.

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:

the government has advised people not to go to bars and restaurants, and has advised people not to hold large gatherings

all the places closing and events shutting are private responses. which sucks for insurance!

no you see yesterday it was upgraded to, quote, strong advice!

Also the schools are shut at least, finally.

How much do people want to bet that, whatever the outcome, it's going to be touted by the government as a clear sign the NHS needs more private investment?

The best outcome for the UK rn is bojo makes a swift recovery after a nasty scare.
Basically any other option just results in adding another 2-4 weeks to the timer before the government starts actually getting its poo poo together.

They basically declared the fake lockdown and so far have done absolutely nothing else apart from blame the public for the spread.

I have been told by a doctor friend that there's no such thing as a full recovery from intubation and ventilation at his age.

Honest question, why is doctorate so stressful?

For me it was the knowledge that like 90% of phd theses are never read after completion. I didn't feel like my topic would be one of the lucky ones so I was being asked to work on a document for 5 years which I might as well have instead thrown away.

I did not finish it.

This is the correct, if expensive approach. Bill Gates is doing the same thing (with I believe 8 different candidates). If trials fail you've thrown away a lot of money producing a useless production line. If they pass you've saved previous time. And the UK is basically all or nothing on a vaccine given our dismal testing failure.

Hospitals are starting to run out of PPE now - I had a doctor friend complaining that they've given him nurse's scrubs.

I also saw some places skipping animal trials and moving straight to human ones. I would not like to be one of those test subjects.

# ¿ Apr 18, 2020 23:11

gonadic io: Feb 16, 2011; >>=

The real issue IMO is going to be the pressure for the trials to pass. If they fail, and was only building one factory in advance that's going to look real bad - even if the vaccine is literal poison that's tomorrow's problem versus saying that vaccinations have started.

considering the shameful history of this country, you absolutely do not have to be respectful. Our press on the other hand are probably spinning this into something positive or somehow the fault of the EU/immigrants/Labour depending on the outlet

A nanny looking after a child would let somebody go to work but a family member...pause. Well there's the risk you see.

The fact that these rules are such obviously bullshit is just going to make people pay even less attention to them than they otherwise would.
