Many of you won't agree with the content of the show but it's worrying times when anyone challenging the narrative has the rug pulled from underneath them.There is no free speech anymore unless you worship the alter of the great god covid. No alternative thoughts other than the approved narrative isallowed. I hope all the lockdown fanatics are happy now that even more people will lose their jobs and businesses. Is it just a coincidence that most of them probably have cushy numbers as public employees raking in the covid overtime, sorry I forgot we're all in it together...You still working AL?Yes. Been back since May. I'm hacked off with it all TBH. I'm working alone in the department as my colleague has been furloughed for months. I know i'm lucky to still be in a job and many would jump to take my place, however I haven't had a single days holiday last year, no dinner or break since March, no OT and hardly a penny of bonus and I've never worked as hard or as long for not much more than a basic wage. I know I go off on one on here sometimes but where else can I let off steam? It really annoys me when all I hear on radio phone ins is teachers and NHS staff banging on about how hard their life is. No one mentions the millions of private sector people who have and still are working all the way through this. Rant over. Your lucky, I do 2 shifts a week, I’m living off that a small pension and my savings

Access via the radio is still on, thank god ( no such thing as god bytheway) And for anyone not to agree with the content just indicates how easily lead our nation of sheep have become....talk radio asks all the questions that any sane person would want asked, and argues the case if the answer is clearly a lie.....now what kind of easily manipulated brainwashed person doesn’t want to hear the truth..??
Filo an honest question as I don't know , with you been self employed do you not get 80% of the last 3 year's earnings on average per month , or how does it work for the self employed like yourself , they must be some sort of financial help it cannot just be nothing

An utter disgrace of a report by a rag of a "newspaper"The figures they are reporting are based on the ONS data of excess deaths. There were 16,000 excess deaths up to May that didn't have COVID on the death certificate. And the Express is concluding from that 1) that those deaths were caused by something else and 2) that the "something else" was a s a direct result of lockdown.Neither of those conclusions stands up to any scrutiny. The excess deaths without COVID on the death certificate occurred at EXACTLY the same time as the first wave COVID deaths. They were confined pretty much exactly to the period from late March to late April. But the lockdown went on for another two months after that. and there were zero excess deaths in that time. So how on earth could it be lockdown that was resulting in excess deaths? It's now generally assumed that there was no spike of extra, non-COVID deaths in April. What almost certainly happened was that people died of COVID without ever getting tested because there was so little testing capacity. So those 16,000 extra deaths that Express trumpets were very likely people who did actually die of COVID, at home or in care homes, having never been diagnosed.The shit rag, the Express is a f**king disgrace to the country. It thrives on pouring out misinformation to wind people up. It pollutes people's minds and the public debate on any issue it touches.

Did Whitty just let it slip that restrictions to go on all year?
Quote from: Nudga on January 05, 2021, 07:34:44 pmDid Whitty just let it slip that restrictions to go on all year? Of course they will in some form. We need to vaccinate 50 million people with two doses to get the whole population covered. We might get 2 million doses a week if we do very well. Do the numbers.Once the most vulnerable are vaccinated, the restrictions can get easier but they won't be totally dropped until enough of the whole population has been done.

BST - do you really think the government will vaccinate 50m ?I suppose you think HS 2 will go beyond Birmingham?
