    GboroRam reacted to Archied in The coronabrexit thread. I mean, coronavirus thread   
    Pretty much agree with most of your post , we will have to agree to disagree on starmer though , this is the man that backed Corbin to the hilt and now throws him out , wants a people’s vote now is ok with brexit ( perhaps a good honest re position from him regards where we are but my gut says no) amongst many other issues , the man just has a stench of Blair to me ,
    I will get slated but Corbin in my view has far more deep rooted principles than starmer and if forced to vote for him or starmer. I go Corbin ??‍♂️

    From American Journal of public health study of SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalisation and death in people aged 12 and over. 
    Those who had been vaccinated were twice as likely to test positive for Covid. This could be because (a) previous infection is better at preventing reinfection than vaccination, (b) people who get vaccinated are also more likely to get tested, (c) both (a) and (b).
    In terms of hospital visits, those aged 12-19 had significant increases in emergency department visits for the unvaccinated; ages 20-39 had significant increases in emergency department visits, hospitalisations and all-cause mortality.
    "Overall younger people were much less likely to die but there was no evidence that younger people suffered overall harm or excess mortality from vaccination compared to those infected without vaccination. Rather the reverse"

    As a Son who lost his Mother to Covid almost 3 years ago in a Derby City Council run care home, Who's Brother went ballistic at those that run Sherwood care home in Normanton for letting all and sundry to visit those that were there without any testing what so ever shows the contempt of those that run our Country only to seek financial reward elsewhere is just another nail in Politicians coffins, Hancock and others will get what's coming one day...and I hope it hurts.
    I have Mums death certificate as proof of death by Covid.

    Apparently, if you say ChatGPT in a French accent you get 'Chat, jai pété' which translates at 'Cat, I have farted'.

    Now I know you're not being serious. A local Cllr wouldn't approach the individual ?
    When mine (Dutch born and bred) were young, they were told "what happens at football, stays at football. If there's a word you don't know/understand, it's best not to repeat it". They did enquire as to certain hand gestures though...
    These days, the Dutch are experts at Anglo Saxon deletive expletives. I hear more phuks a day here than I do when I'm back in the UK and that includes the pub and the ground. It's use is commonplace to the point where it's not even considered "wrong". TV talk shows are full of the word. Kids on the street. Women use it. It's the most commonly used word in the Dutch language. Has been for a while. Even when I was teaching, kids heard it in films and in songs and on TV..... so they used it in class as well. I explained to them that it's a swear word and if they use it in a Dutch sentence to replace a Dutch swear word then they are still swearing. It didn't help until one day I decided to get inventive and do a literal translation should the opportunity arise where one might say "WTF". It arose so I bellowed out "wat de neuk". The silence was deafening. Eventually one kid asked what I meant. I explained I had simply translated the words and asked if they now  understood how silly the words, used in that context, are. They did.... unfortunately it didn't reduce the use of WTF and variations very much..... until parents evening where I asked the parents what they would think if I swore frequently in Dutch in the lessons. Oh no, you can't swear in front of the kids.... OK, so is it OK of they swear in English during lessons.... the parents got it and the use of AS deletive expletives was greatly reduced.
    Where do kids hear swearing first? If it's not in the home it's from friends at school. Effing and Jeffing at football is, IMO, not a kid's first introduction to swearing, not by a long chalk.

    I recall one interview with a deradicalisation expert who had interviewed her. 
    He spoke at the optimism there was that she could be deradicalised, she was a very good candidate for the program and felt her language and outlook was very much the kind of fit for someone who would respond well to the program. 
    Put in context she still was part of a violent, extremist organisation who exert a lot of influence over her and similar positioned people, yet she was prepared to hint that she wanted a way out. She obviously was very cautious about speaking her mind, because she knew those same people were listening to her words. 
    So when people are very critical about her current threat level, the experts seemed to be of a different opinion entirely.
