  1. This. I'm looking forward to not seeing the in-laws this Xmas.
  2. No, I have no idea what his bank balance is, that's why I used the word 'if'.
  3. Of course you can to an extent, that's what tax has been doing for ages. At any one time there is only ever a finite amount of money - if a few people have most of it then most people will have less, that's simple maths. Every penny Jeff Bezos has made he has taken from someone else, it hasn't appeared out of thin air by magic. If he has £180 Billion sat in his bank it's £180 billion that is not in other people's. The same amount of money shared out would mean 180,000 millionaires.
  4. Yes. If the vaccine is 90% effective then one in ten are still at risk is some selfish cunt is going around spreading it.
  5. Another big difference is that the only way to stop this virus spreading is a vaccine so by refusing it you are endangering others.
  6. Aren’t symptomatic people at or near their most infectious just before they develop symptoms though. That’s what I have read and what makes it Particularly bad. I think when you are most contagious with the flu you are usually in bed feeling like shit, with Covid you are just out and about like normal.
  7. I wasn’t boasting or am not particularly happy about the situation, I just don’t have an issue with helping out by paying more tax. It’s pot luck as to wether you’ve been able to from home, had to be furloughed, or been made redundant - I don’t see it as fair to make certain people foot the bill when we are supposedly to be all in it together.
  8. They won’t make it mandatory. It looks like this virus will only need 60-70% of the population to be immune to achieve herd immunity.
  9. I wasn’t volunteering, I was speaking on behalf of everyone lucky enough to still have an income. I’m not going to pay more just because tight arses like you are not man enough to chip in and help.
  10. We’re all going to pay for it, we’re just going to pay a bit more tax, no big deal.
  11. Some much for all in it together. The crying about tax is starting already.
  12. To be fair, you are not doing much to dispel the stereotype with your thousands of crazy rants about fish.
  13. He wasn't suspended for being anti-semitic, it was for claiming people overstated the problem for political gain.
  14. Sir Kier is handling this well again, needs to make an example of Corbyn, it's all about the optics. The more Corbyn's lot moan the better it makes Kier look.
  15. It is like watching a really slow motion car crash.
  16. Maybe, but I think they estimate that for this virus we will need between 60-70% of the population to be immune to achieve herd immunity, can’t see anti-Vaxers being as high as 30-40% but who knows.
  17. I don’t think that many people would be thick enough to refuse a vaccine, you don’t need 100% of the population to be vaccinated to stop it spreading.
  18. I don’t have a problem with anti-vaxers, being a fit man in his 40s I’m going to be way down the list of those who get a vaccine - more people opt out the quicker I will get one. Having said that I do support controls on social media, the way twitter has been dealing with Trump’s lies is about right.
  19. Fantastic signing, it's great seeing him back in a Saints shirt and I think we're the ideal club to get the best out of him at this stage in his career. I don't get the negativity, he already has two more assists than Redmond this season.
  20. Very moving stories, thanks for sharing. It's mental what that generation went through during the wars, ordinary people put into the most extraordinarily tough situations - god knows how today’s lot would cope if asked to do the same. You would like to think the World has learned it’s lessons and moved on from that era so we never have to find out. Both my Grandads served and survived WW2, one great uncle survived Dunkirk and later got a Blighty in France just after D Day. My Nan’s brother wasn’t so lucky and was shot down and killed on a bombing raid over Germany aged just 19 - he was an art student. This collection of first hand accounts by the BBC is worth looking at if you are interested in reading about WW2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/categories/
  21. No you didn't you asked what's offensive about what he said?
