I remember taking stick on here for suggesting back then, that the EU were slow out of the blocks because they were looking at getting a global vaccination plan up and running but had the plan scuppered by the UK and US grabbing first dibs on vaccines forcing the EU to follow suit.Quote:

There has been a report on the Nike conference and there was found to be no evidence of any further covid transmission in the community as a result of the conference.Quote:

Also the government were told at the time by the medical folks to not publish anything to protect attendees confidentiality (the numbers were so low it would have been easy to work out who had it etc)Quote:

From the OFFICIAL report
Quote:
An outbreak of COVID-19 was identified in Scotland on 2 March 2020 following the detection of a case among 71 delegates who attended a conference in Edinburgh between 25 and 27 February 2020. The delegates were from Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands.
Twenty-three primary cases were linked to the conference and 16 secondary cases were subsequently identified.
Quote:
In Scotland, eight cases were directly linked to the conference (six primary and two secondary cases).
Pesky factsQuote:

That is a very very dangerous road to be going down. I was led to believe that the court was the ultimate arbiter in all things. Just like when Westminster took Holyrood to court recentlyQuote:

That's just mental when you think of some of the things they would be capable of.
It's ironic that a government representing and empowered by anti-eastern European xenophobia is going The Full Poland.
i do enjoy listening to George Monbiot, and not just because he thinks this country would be mad not to vote for independence, he's spot on in this video from several months ago when he mentions the craziness of why people are getting hurt but they still vote for this Tory Government=media propaganda, iirc it's something like 80% of the press is owned by Tories, even worse is state TV is now under total control of the Tories.

The Nasty party, and it's because, as Nige and Baz keep telling everyone in the pub, human rights, independent judiciary and fundamental freedom is why we don't have an empire anymore.Quote:

High Speed Rail 2 section CANCELLED as costs spiral out of control – Fast Sentinel (desertofvice.com)
This would be a major setback in Boris Johnson’s promise to deliver “levelling up” for the north of England.
The DfT has strongly denied “not true” and “false” claims from a whistleblower that the real cost of HS2 is now at least £160.6billion and could be as high as £200billion.
i'm sure Johnson will find another vanity project....or tory donors to give it to instead
By the time it gets cancelled the press will have turned the population against the project so much that it will be seen a a great victory.

Bozo having a major project ***** a load of money, over run on nearly every front, consultants/donors fill their boots and it's never actually delivered?Quote:
