I think as a culture our humour is quite strange. I just came across a facebook group of working class men taking photos of themselves afterwork earing ice cream and telling eachother to cream on. What other nation has a culture where brick layers look like hipsters have a self aware ironic sense of humour? its fucken queer but probably explains why my generation has an obsession with the simpsons seasons 3-8 @Toinho @Devil-Dick Willie

UK deaths are still high, but the case count has come down significantly over the past week or two. Yet the anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine, anti-science brigade are somehow still acting completely self-righteous about their cause, despite it being completely and utterly evident that this lockdown worked exactly as the science (and basic common sense) said it would. The mental gymnastics performed by these idiots continues to amaze. They'll happily rubbish everything said by actual virologists but as soon as one person in the WHO says "lockdowns aren't the answer to this pandemic" (in that they will drive down the infection rate but they are no substitute for a long-term strategy to balance a return to normal life with a manageable spread of the virus) it becomes their gospel. I haven't been impressed by much of what this government has done throughout the pandemic but at least at this vaccination stage, they have recognised the danger of the anti-vaxxer movement and are taking proactive action to meet it head on. I think it would be an excellent move for Matt Hancock and Boris Johnson to have the vaccine live on television to boost the confidence of all the sane people out there who have what I'd call legitimate reservations about whether the vaccine might not be as safe as it should be having been 'rushed through' so quickly. I think the rabidly stupid big government conspiracy theorists are beyond convincing so all we can do for them is look forward to hearing from the dark corners of Facebook and Twitter about how the vaccines taken by any high-ranking government officials or celebrities live on television are actually fakes or placebos. Surprisingly, the Isle of Man is getting a bunch of vaccines next week as well. I thought we'd at least have to wait a couple of weeks longer than the UK to start getting our hands on them but local government are saying that vaccinations over here could start as early as next week too.
