Very interesting until he leans heavily on the assumption that it's in any way viable for any developed country to just leave the over 70s to die and treat the rest of us so as not to overwhelm the hospitals. Another extremely shit hot take. It's taken months and only recently been (more or less) confirmed that people aren't catching this twice and therefore herd immunity is going to be a tool used to get countries reopening but there was no evidence of that when the outbreak was forcing countries into lockdown so pursuing it would have been a reckless strategy. You still have to control how many people get infected at once so as not to overwhelm hospitals. Until theres a vaccine it's clearly a case of striking a balance now between allowing people to get infected and gain immunity without too many people having it at once. This guy is basically a lunatic. Just because he's apparently happy to die as punishment for being part of the baby boomer generation doesn't mean the rest of his age group are or that the rest of us are ready to write off our grandparents, parents, etc so that we can get back outside again.

Keep calm, I am only having a laugh... They deserve it... Not sure why you would take photos of people though if you don't intend to see them hung drawn and quartered??? This is a rare opportunity for me to see what goes on behind the curtain so to speak.. Do you have all the modern camera equipment like @nudge uses, zoom lens and all that sort of stuff or do you wing it?? If you get the real good stuff off the dark web you can get facial recognition so you can identify who they are and where they live... maybe you can kick all their garden gnomes over in the middle of the night or lean on their hedges pushing them out of shape or something on the way back from the pub?? Don't see why they should be getting away with it mate...

Going to have to decide what to call @DeadLinesman now out of Mouchards, Chivatos, or Spitzel???

EA and Respawn have released a new free update for Jedi: Fallen Order. Sadly not a story DLC but the update includes: Meditation Training mode hub giving access to two new game modes: Combat Challenges and Battle Grid New Journey + mode which unlocks new cosmetics, such as Inquisitor Uniform for Cal, as well as a red kyber crystal and the Protection and Defense I & II lightsaber sets improved accesibility features, overall responsiveness of the gameplay and fixed combat input irregularities Also, it seems that there will be a sequel to the game too.

When they came out to clap and saw the cameras out there he didn't want his daughter exposed to all that so sent her across the other side of the street so she could still partake, then once they had all the footage they needed he went over and brought her back in...

Online news businesses make money via people clicking, sharing and promoting. The Daily Mail uses opposition to its advantage. They use the sharers and argubly the sharers use them for their own online end goal themselves. The Daily Mail makes a financial killing off a mass of people who think they're doing a good thing by "exposing" some bullshit to the world whilst not realising they actually enable it to exist. No longer do you need someone loyal popping to the newsagent every morning to buy a copy in order to have a business. The retweeters are the newsagent and clickers the readership. Removing the need to part with a 20 pence piece in exchange for the words, the Daily Mail, through its online iteration, has found a way to make money out of people who rant and rave against them. You can write absolute shite and make thousands of pounds off the actions of people who oppose what you wrote and they're all non the wiser. The Daily Mail must laugh behind closed doors at the online "bothered". Starmer is off to a strong start. Looks promising. In a funny way fortunate that he starts during COVID. His style and approach so far has been good. Intelligent. Methodical. Professional. Key to that good start is that the crisis has meant not needing to talk about anything else. Topics where Labour are divided gone. Where Labour are beaten gone. Only a few here and there are left still managing to slip the word Brexit into a COVID-19 opinion. These people are self destructive to the Labour and left wing cause. The stronger Starmer can get before politics goes back to topics the better Labour will be for it.

Sad bastards. These are the worst people through all this and they are embarrassing. Busybodies.

Yep Manchester United's New Signing Marc Jurado Holds Record For The Fastest Youth Goal Ever Scored Sports Bible

And more:

Sir David Attenborough is 94 years old today! Hope he is remaining safe in these times! What a hero.

Apparently we’ve agreed a deal with an amazingly talented up-and-coming right back from Barcelona’s academy, Marc Jurado. He’s 16 and has been at Barcelona for 10 years. We’ve snapped him up for 1.3m despite Barcelona offering him an improved contract. Barcelona are said to be absolutely furious!

Yeah they are one of the better ones still - but I think in general, journalism has gone downhill. I still go there for football/sport news and other news stories but even so, a lot of it has followed what social media is like - it's more about grabbing attention with a headline (the clickbait) and in some cases the likes/followers/hits on a site as opposed to yearning for and displaying the truth. I'm guilty of it too at times and that's the truth (ironically)!. The headline in question (F1 in 2020) is a perfect example of that. All the talk is about what will happen to races. One day there's hope of races continuing, season starting on X date at a certain track. The next day it's that headline saying 'no F1 in 2020' but it grabs the readers because they seek controversy, contradictions to catch people out.

Thank you for your service @CaaC (John) & @Bluewolf in all the wars over the years, and this is for you, on 75th anniversary of VE Day

Whilst the clickbait quick opinions are laughter and head in hands because they've immediately assumed it is Daily Mail making shit up, the article itself is actually about academic research at the University of Reading. It is the academic trained in health discourse who makes the assumption that German media discourse is not in the same vein as the UK because of words coined during the Nazi period being a no go. As well as citing work by a German academic to support that claim. Still, 19 likes for Reading University and the academic work versus 19000 likes for laughing at the Daily Mail. I feel quite bad for the academic that her work is being taken to be laughed at.

I'm not suggesting they will abandon globalisation, although that's definitely a risk with more right wing authoritarian types, and finger pointing. But the idea of offshoring industries to low cost centres as a necessary and unavoidable outcome of capitalism in a globalised world... I think it will be challenged in light of a different perspective about capabilities that can be critical to national security in times of crisis.

Headline: "Formula 1 may not race in 2020, say bosses" Actual quote from Carey: "We are increasingly confident - although there are no guarantees - that we will have a 2020 championship season." Stupid clickbait headline, expect better from BBC to be honest.

Wow.

I think there will be an impact on how other countries deal with China and their communist party, which will be significant, but not so much globalisation on the whole. If anything there are many factors about this crisis that highlight how important international relations and cooperation are.

I love twitter.........
