If they even have a resale that is.  But you could change that year to 2023 and itll be like all the fallow years combined with demand that comes with it. If See Tickets could show us the queue of people it would dwarf what R+L just had.

Yeah I've resigned myself to it being 2023 at the earliest now. There'll be  resale because I think its impossible that there is nobody who's circumstances have changed in that time, but it'll be minimal

I would happily pay money to watch the Subways play live at the moment. Or Reverand and the Makers

Any live music with a beer seems like utopia just now

 

Go easy now, I have seen Revered and The Makers and I'd rather be in lockdown than go through that again.

Jesus. Corby - 343 infection rate. 

 

64 % voted leave. 

 

I do find the correlation with the remain/ leave vote and vaccine skeptics interesting. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

I don’t think there is much in the way of a link between vaccine scepticism and leave voters but there has been quite a few articles in lockdown scepticism and leave voters though.

Pretty much the same Brexit result here in Peterborough, and we’re second

I know it shouldn't but won't upping corporation tax just mean companies lay off more people? 

that article is about taxing wealthy pensioners. All very labour...except is this right time to be doing this? Does it indicate that Sunak wants to start paying off the deficit sooner rather than later?

I saw this so it does seem to be that if you voted leave you are less likely to get the vaccine. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/covid-vaccine-polling-hesitancy-support-brexit-voter-leave-oxford-university/

Wonder how many of people in this demographic have a Union Jack in their Twitter profile, and/or a bulldog tattoo.

It's not even that - it's talking about taxing people who have saved over £1 million in their pension pot. And it's not even introducing a new tax, it's just not increasing the cap as expected. I'd say it is the right time to be doing it as lots of people will have saved a lot of money this year (where they've remained in work, but without travel costs and not spending on holidays, etc) - this encourages them to spend that money rather than stick it all in a pension pot.

    • 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.
    • Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
