Blah Blah is, for the record, playing a blinder on this thread Not saying anything remotely controversial, sticking to facts and evidence and science And yet it remains "controversial" for some
Once again, we seem to be having an insular debate without reference to rest of the world It's a global pandemic - most countries dealing well with it use masks without all the pointelss debaites about liberty/but how do I/why should I type questions
It's about reducing risk - if people are all wearing them in shops and on transport you have reduced the risk You can't elimate ALL risk if infections ris after the facemasks then we could be looking at another lockdown (as per other countries) But what is teh point of the OP? IS it to complain about the masks being compulsory? Or not being universal? It's not clear
my favourite bit about this thread is that someone who started it because although they agree with bulk of the message feel the manner in which it's conveyed puts some people off, has spent 8 pages yelling at people that they aren't getting HIS message
? But what on earth possesses anyone to spend that sort of money anyway on their backward beliefs.? On the 4th anniversary of the Brexit vote, a timely question
Hands up everyone - who believs tomdhu genuinely isn't aware of Hopkins and some of the thinsg she's written? Anyone as anti-eu as tomdhu will be well aware of the online opinions and campaigns this whole "I voted leave for genuine reasons and shucks gee I don't even know anyone who holds vile opinions" is so disingenuous as to be insulting https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-4633332/KATIE-HOPKINS-stand-strong-Brexit.html https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/04/18/katie-hopkins-russell-bra_n_7091674.html
" so-called far-right " just keeps giving Glen - are you saying they weren't far-right? It's a confection? Like - what would people ACTUALLY have to do for you consider then to be genuinely far-right?
"It is acknowledged in the industry that the optimum power is around 1200Watt as this gives worthwhile suction. With 850W it takes twice as long to do a decent job - so the energy saving argument is negated." This sounds like a load of hot air Nobody sane genuinely takes twice as long to vacuum their house since and I've not noticed ANY difference at all - you are manufacturing outrage (and again you try and lift this navel-gazing nation's attention and speak to friends and family in other eu countries - no outrage. No bother. so what IS it about the English and their outrage at the EU eh?)
And there was nothing stopping uk producers doing the same before Brexit was there It?s not that it?s unfathomable. It?s that it?s overhead in costs and red tape - which is the opposite of what was promised by leave. But the leave have broken pretty much every promise so just add it to the list I see the government are planning 4 months of ?shock and awe? information campaign to wake people up to the fact they need to prepare for end of transition I?d say anything that needs shock and awe is probably best avoided
Yess every country try in the world? You didn?t need to inflict all that economic damage on yourselves Fresh air mate! I mean, it didn?t help the millions who died in the early 50s, but still
