16.5 billion ... for cyber ... bloody hell boris is spending lots on this now !!

Express says Oxford vaccine news tomorrow.

This kind of thing I find deeply embarrassing.

Introducing rules at Christmas to prevent death among the elderly population doesn't make you a miserly, scrooge figure FFS.

cutting foreign aid to help pay for it.

Bit grim.

The Tory guy on the BBC Newspaper preview just went off on one about how much Labour spent and how they contributed greatly to our debt etc. Conveniently forgot that they haven’t been in power for a decade...

Ah the classic line from the Tories, they've done this for generations.

According to the piece above it’s the immune response data from their phase 2. They’ve already reported some of it, also showed a good response in older participants. What’s written above doesn’t refer to the unblinding of the Phase 3 data, but it shouldn’t be long now! (Technically it could be tomorrow and the report above has the wrong end of the stick).

It can’t be tomorrow, we need it to continue our midday Monday good news streak!

Thank God the Oxford vaccine wasn't the first of the three to report.

Johnson would have harped on about it endlessly to promote himself and his 'Britain knows best' agenda, as if he himself had spent all Summer slaving in the lab to develop it.

Who fucking cares man!?!?!? The Express has got a Diana story!!

[Spindles]

This article on the BBC made for grim reading.  It feels to me like we've so far skated on the edges of how bad this could get and from the sound of El Paso there are some places that very soon are going to be experiencing situations that could be potentially destabilising.

One of the Papers is running with a January lockdown story too so, swings and roundabouts

Solid decrease in Manchester again, just not fast enough to be low in the next couple of weeks.

Wow. Absolutely riddled with bogus statements.

It's like a madman who started with a conclusion, and then scoured the internet finding any tidbits that might support that conclusion and without bothering to check any of them.

On the other hand, if he’d managed to get the 5g stuff in there, I think he might have had a full house of all the crackpot theories associated with this virus! I’ve seen the Koch’s postulates thing a few places now, no idea how that one got propagated, but apart from the existence of asymptomatic infections, we have indeed fulfilled them with this virus (and yes, it has been isolated and grown in the lab...in fact, you can get it for free from the CDC!)...besides, there’s a bunch of infectious diseases that we know the cause for but can’t grow in the lab for one reason or another. Anyway, I shouldn’t really be taking this seriously...

I know a fair few people with a leftie/environmentalist political background who have bought into a lot of this nonsense sadly.  The sad thing is that they tend to get cut out of the lives of people who just don't want to be badgered by some mad old bugger who hit the party medicines a bit heavy in the 90s and now believes in lizard people. When isolated like this I imagine they are only likely to sink further into the comfort of their beliefs.
