I think on a music festival message board it’s a legitimate question to ask. It doesn’t suggest the OP doesn’t give a shit about anything else. Of course there are much bigger things to be worrie

So...OX/AZ, blood clots, suspension of vaccinations, politics, vaccine hesitancy, convoluted data, PR problems, Brexit, EU procurement naivety, poor logistics, national identity...there’s an awful lot

Yeah the main things in my life that are missing right now remain the same: the gym (god knows when that will be back but I am coping with my online classes  fine), seeing friends and family, gigs, festivals and holidays. Really couldn't give a crap about going shopping. Especially with a recession round the corner.

Oh and I'd quite like to get my haircut and visit the dentist to start the expensive dental work I've partly paid for! But yeah it's not going to happen soon for those.

The sad thing is they don't care - this government genuinely don't care if more people die just so that they can keep their man in office. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it, yet today for the first time I'm filled with the terrible dread that they really are going to get away with it.

Do you have a link to the one you watched? He's got loads out there. I'm still taking my regular multivits which have it in but don't want to cause problems! 

 

Like Stu i've also been taking Vit D mainly because of Dr Campbell and the other sources i've seen recently, this one from last week features a New Zealand doctor discussing vit D,

Unlike Stu I don't think the jury's out on this, I'm absolutely convinced it plays a massive part in our general health and ability to fight off disease, another guy who makes an excellent case is Ivor Cummins (no relation to Dom!) he is not a medical doctor but an engineer with a particular interest in this as he had a child with Vit D deficiency. This is a long presentation but well worth a watch.

As disgusting as it is I think we all know they're going to get away with it. They always do.

Brilliant thanks for those - I'll watch them tonight! 

Purely anecdotal but when I started taking multivitamins with D3 in 3 years ago I can pretty much count on one hand the number of times I've been ill since, when I'd had loads of regular colds and coughs in the years prior. 

Ended up getting a different variant of them towards the end of last year that had D2 in lower quantities and not D3 in, which I didn't notice just in time gor winter as well! and have had a really bad cough in December (accompanied by shortness of breath which I passed off at the time, just after I'd come back from Singapore interestingly...) and tonsilitis/sinusitis recently...

The PM is appearing before the Liaison Committee in a couple of minutes in case anyone wants to watch.

 

The press briefing is also at half 4 today.

Well the briefing is normally at 5, so I think they have done that.

He wants to draw a line under this, doesn’t he?

Up to the opposition, us and the media to keep up the pressure.

Judging by this, his own party are doing a decent enough job of keeping it in the news.

Interesting that Boris didn't consult with Cabinet about Cummings doing the press conference. I imagine that royally fucked them off.

He really is a shifty two faced bumbling  bastard.  He’s avoiding giving a straight answer. Yvette Cooper has him rattled,    My God, Cummings must have some dirt on him. 

He just bumbles around and defaults to "uhh, uhh we need to get away from party politics"

Daily Mail readers asking for Cummings' head isn't party politics Boris.

I don’t think it is certain that Cummings told Boris about it. He may have said "can i use the Rose Garden for an hour or so later on this afternoon"

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
