Zalakwe posted:At least one of them - North Shropshire - is going to be very close, the Lib Dems leaked some postal vote preference data showing them about 10 points behind. They have done that at by-elections they are close on recently in an effort to get their vote out. Similar data in Chesham and Amersham showed them 23 points behind. Every time they have used the tactic they have won. If you like a flutter I would get some on. The Lib Dems entire electoral strategy is just to lie about how close they are to winning. It ranges from plain text "We are the only ones who can beat the Tories" to "We're only 5 points behind on this poll of 100 Lib Dem members we commissioned" to infographics that break just about every unspoken law of infographics.

It's really rather fascinating how many poorly thought out plans/policies the Tories introduce that seem to boil down to the ministers in question having precisely zero empathy. It's one of those things that we should study. Maybe there's a brain issue at fault. Maybe some sort of deep dive into a Tory minister's brain might help uncover the underlying pathology. Not like an fMRI, though. Nah, just get a craniectomy done and start poking around. I'm sure we'll be able to find something to write up in a paper.

There's still a shitload of And - as has been pointed out lots of times - there are valid reasons why healthcare workers from minority ethnic groups might not trust the process that delivers medical treatments. But some NHS staff are just poo poo-for-brains morons, and in a world where the Tories weren't actively defunding the NHS and making hospitals desperate for staff, these cunts wouldn't get hired to actually have any role in a healthcare setting. [edit] To clarify, I got my first vaccine dose the earliest opportunity I could get it; my second dose maybe 3 days after it was due and my booster the second day my employer was offering it. And I've encouraged every hesitant colleague I've spoken to to get it. kingturnip fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Dec 14, 2021 |

OwlFancier posted:Like either you believe vaccines work or you think that a shitload of diseases were all international conspiracies by Big Vaccine to implant the 0.001G vacuum tubes into people a hundred years ago. No? Looke posted:There are a bunch of vaccinations you have to have as a clinical NHS worker anyway, this is no different and jezza is an idiot You agree that you need those vaccinations before you start the job. It's a condition of accepting the job that you either agree to - and get your new job - or don't agree to, and stay where you are. Saying "You've got this job already, now we're going to impose a new condition on you, and if you don't accept it and we can't find another use for you, you're fired" is the kind of thing where if it was any other condition it would be considered utterly unacceptable. I think NHS staff - not just those in patient-facing roles - should all be vaccinated, but a compulsory do it or get sacked approach is stupid and will be actively harmful to some communities.

I think there should be carrot and stick involved. The stick is obviously Fash Saj threatening you with the sack, but I'm not sure where the carrot is besides "keep doing this job you probably burned out on months ago". Many NHS staff - particularly patient-facing staff - have had an appallingly bad time of it in the last 21 months and this is yet another thing they're expected to cop and go on without complaint.

Jakabite posted:The fact this is even a debate is the whole issue. Vaccines are not something that’s a ‘valid arguments on both sides’ kind of deal. Anti-vaccine sentiment is moronic harmful quackery that hurts patients, staff, the whole NHS and society at large. We should stop pandering to it. Get the vaccine or get a job that doesn’t involve you actively endangering your patients and colleagues because you’re a moron. Cool. Just to check, though, where do we find the staff to replace the ones we just told to gently caress off?

Shaun Bailey has two additional strikes against him in that he is 1) black, in a party that generally hates black people, and therefore isn't full of people wanting to cover his back; and 2) a bona fide racist, therefore not likely to be supported by anyone else

I think that if the filth are out and about kicking, bludgeoning and horse-charging protesters, the protesters have a right to fight back. If for no other reason than that PC Andy McRoidrage isn't explaining what crime he's protecting people from as he attempts to smash someone's skull in. Or when those TSG cunts cover up their ID numbers - at that point, you're not being suppressed by a police officer; you're getting assaulted by some psychotic apeman looking to see how much blood he can get on his riot shield. If the police want to be protected by the law as they carry out their duties, they should actually attempt to follow the law as they carry them out. If not, they're fair game.

I suspect there's legislation allowing the government to do it for free, for a few specific issues. And if there is, then a Public Health crisis should always be on that list.

It's funny; I was thinking (and saying) a year ago that the Tories were just waiting for Covid to be 'finished' and then they'd boot Johnson out. It turns out that they were thinking about things the other way round; boot Johnson out and then declare Covid to be 'finished'.

I was once privy to a conversation between two Teaching Assistants who were talking about the array of implements they had around their bedrooms that they could 'just happen' to use in the event their house was broken into. The aluminium baseball bat under the bed seemed the most reasonable to the two of them (although hard to argue against premeditation there). Hatchet and hammer were on the list as well. I feel like if you're going down that route, you may as well have a mister filled with bleach, or an improvised flamethrower.

Calls to preserve PPE were - at the absolute, very least - to try to ensure that NHS staff were available to work, because it was 'all hands to the pump'. The NHS was, and still is, short more than 40,000 nurses (because of Tory cuts) and keeping those staff working was a high priority.
