Youri McAnespie Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Allowing gyms to stay open is sheer fucking lunacy. They're nests of infection at the best of times. During 'normality' you'll always get one tosser (or frigger) who'll head down to 'sweat it out' and cough, sneeze and splutter all over the (air-conditioned) shop, not sanitising owt either. Next thing every other c*nt who was training or working at the time has the lurgy too. It's more serious with Covid-19, most gym-goers are pretty healthy with a younger demographic, much more likely to be asymptomatic. They pass it on at the gym and loads of new carriers emerge from a session. Fucking madness - I'm sure Johnson and his cronies are formulating policy with a dartboard. As for finance - no matter what they'll revert to 'cuts' dogma when this is done. The pandemic providing an excuse for everything, just when blaming the recession and Blair/Brown Labour was wearing a bit thin for most folk.

Site Supporter Spider Posted November 27, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2020 @Escobarpwas signalling economic devastation from early in the pandemic, though I think it’s been obvious for a while that this will come with a considerable hangover. Weirdly, I’m not sure brexit will make much difference. Everyone is screwed so there’s even a chance that we may not have to use what money we have to bail out the likes of Spain and Greece again (one of the reasons I voted leave was the Greek bailout, that made my shit itch). This will be worldwide so I’m pinning hopes on Rishi riding to the rescue and deciding to pay this off over the next thousand years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK didn't make any contributions, via the EU, for the bailouts that Greece, Cyrpus and Spain received, as far as I'm aware....happy to be proven wrong though. However, you're right, the financial hangover from this will be widespread, at least we now only have to concern ourselves with our own debts, and not worry what others may or may not do.

There will also be loads of other smaller stuff that we could/should look to cancel. I think yesterday did somebody mention putting a tram line between Bury and Bolton? - that can be scrapped before it even starts, what's the point of it in reality?

Youri McAnespie Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) @Sweep I think you grossly underestimate how many NHS workers do the job for altruistic, public service based reasons...They take a decent wage sure, but there's more to it. Staff would leave in droves if the service was privatised - and the gaps would need to be filled. The cost would be eye-watering. Ask Kent how much health agencies charge, per shift, per hour, whilst not necessarily passing the extortion-gotten gains onto their workers..? Privatisation is anathema to 99% of NHS workers - y'know, the ones currently pulling their tripe out.

Youri McAnespie Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Probably make more money with it being illegal... I read figures from a body like the UN that the drug trade accounts for a massive amount of revenue which gushes up to governments. I'm sure it was up there with the big hitters; petrochemicals, energy, booze, food, tourism etc. Those involved in drugs don't just stick their cash in a biscuit tin. Legalise it and folk would just grow their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted November 27, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 27, 2020 on second thoughts maybe keep trident for a bit longer https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-55105934 Iran's most senior nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has been assassinated near the capital Tehran, the country's defence ministry has confirmed. Fakhrizadeh died in hospital after an attack in Absard, in Damavand county. Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, has condemned the killing "as an act of state terror". Western intelligence agencies view Fakhrizadeh as being behind Iran's covert nuclear weapons programme. "If Iran ever chose to weaponise (enrichment), Fakhrizadeh would be known as the father of the Iranian bomb," one Western diplomat told Reuters news agency in 2014. News of the killing comes amid fresh concern about the increased amount of enriched uranium that Iran is producing. Enriched uranium is a vital component for both civil nuclear power generation and military nuclear weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 The new THC laden 'terraced house in Gateshead' grown super strains need reclassifying to Class A - not legalising. It's like PCP and Crack Cocaine's kid brother for creating psychotic paranoid fuck'eds... Should be as nature intended - equal amounts of THC - a psychotic, smoothed out by the same of CBD - an antipsychotic. A mate, successful business, loads of mates, nice girlfriend, funny, intelligent etc. He turns into sommat out of 'Day of the Dead' after a spliff of 'skunk'. And this is from someone who smoked as much as a Wailer on tour on a daily basis at the age of 16-22ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
