DaveSumm Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Monumental fuck up in figures today, turns out we’ve been at around 10,000 cases a day rather than around 7,000 cos we lost some results. It’s not clear at the moment if the government have been working their restrictions around this assumption or if it’s just the public who didn’t know. But this virus climbing that much when we thought things were steadying is incredibly dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Yeah, saw this with the corrected figures. Not great. It also likely resulted in those cases not being passed onto track and trace ( Though it really looks like we've given up on that system and are sorta free wheeling into the winter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly there’s no greater example of systemic racism than showing a non-white soldier fighting for the British in WW1. Even if historically it did happen why couldn’t the movie just been white men fighting heroically for their country? Why include other people who were there? He’s totally not a right wing version of a sock justice warrior he and other right-wing reactionaries screech about all the time. I’m being sarcastic. Really? I couldn't tell.

Denvek Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 He's also currently responding to anyone calling him a racist on Twitter by calling them paedophiles, so he seems likely to be bankrupt from legal costs in the not-too-distant future.

He just generally reacts to other trolls like Spocky who think anyone who disagrees with them is a racist or white supremacist. As for his party, my point is that if his main manifesto promises are around not giving into the more lunatic element of the left calling for the pulling down of statues and 'decolonising' everything, as well as making sure the BBC isn't entirely staffed by those with a homogenous worldview.. well the Tories have basically taken care of that already.. so what is the point of him? 9 hours ago, Spockydog said: Probably.

He hasn't, but I'm sure you think he's also secretly calling for the invasion of Poland too so I'm not sure what that is worth. As for the gammon thing, it's all about hypocrisy.. which is pretty much why he ever got famous on Question Time. If you are out there acting like you are some champion of the anti-racists, but have no problem judging everyone based on their skin colour, throwing around insults in the same way.. then maybe you need to take a little look at yourself.

We've relaunched our network that supports ethically diverse colleagues. I AM ME @ Sainsbury's, now has over 2600 members and a very active schedule of events. We run mentoring circles, awareness days, learning sessions and celebrations.Recently we provided our black colleagues with a safe space to gather in response to the Black Lives Matters movement. As part of our committment to ensure that our black colleagues have a fair and enjoyable experience working at Sainsbury's, we are reviewing and publishing our ethnicity pay gap later this year. I know it's a lot of work and a heavy burden, as a white person we are after all constitutionally required to comment on any and all racial issues at any time, but doing a Google really isn't that much of an ask.

Yes, yes saying bigoted things and promoting bigoted ideas can’t be constructed as proof of x person being a bigot. Because we can’t literally read his mind so calling him racist just because of what he says is unfair. Is David Duke racist? I can listen to what he says. But I don’t know his heart so how can I tell if he genuinely truly believes what he says or doing it only for profit? Seriously though; not everyone many on the left gets mad at is a racist. Not Every figure railed on for being racist by many on the left or social progressives is being called such without good reason. For example; Rossann Barr can be seen as racist for what she’s repeatedly throughout the years. Sock justice warriors getting mad at her doesn’t make any less of a bigot. Now give me a laughing or confused emoji. 9 hours ago, The Anti-Targ said: Oh, he's that bad? Really makes me question why HoI thinks his natural home is the Tories.

I have to say he very well may make bank catering to right-wing anti-justice warriors. Literally they’ll screech and rumble in defense of whatever “anti-woke” idea he’d push forward and cry he’s treated unfair if suffers any consequence for his words.

Well as a white person it is quite a heavy burden for him to actually provide useful links. I’m sure he didn’t mean to be condescending, it’s just as a white person he was constitutionally required to whitesplain that to you. Don’t be harsh on him.
