Lidl currently selling these. Erm, what?

Bought some last night. Can't see how they won't be brilliant, tbh.

This is getting dirtier by the day.
And further tarnishes camerons name. the man had fucking shocking judgement skills. Is there anyone he has been involved with that isn't dodgy as fuck? Lied about offshore interests, blackened the names of celebrities who were not tory donors for not paying taxes whilst being engaged in the same practices himself. Actively engaged in the lobbying of corrupt business. etc etc.

Dishface is yesterdays news. He’s irrelevant now so try not to get distracted from the cunts actually in power and their removal

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Dishface is relevant as he started austerity with a relish. Osborne then went further and admitted that cuts became ideological rather than austerity driven. Every Tory Leader since has done nothing to improve things. That makes five utter cunts as PM and the electorate need reminding of that so they grasp that it’s not the leader that’s the problem it’s the Tory Party.

 

[lemonjelly]

dishface enabled todays cunts to be the cunts they are. he enabled farage's popularity. he enabled brexit. he started what they are continuing and have ramped up. he put ideology first, and lied repeatedly. he implemented style over substance, and it is because of him and all his shortcomings we have the vacuous cunts we have today.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

BUT HE IS GONE. Concentrate on getting the party of cunts in power out. Anything else is window dressing.

Showing that they’re all the same underneath will help do that surely? We’ve had five Tory Pms in succession and none have delivered and reminding voters of this will help get rid of them.

My bet is a sum will be paid back for the PPE that wasn’t fit for purpose and the Government will hail that as a success and no further action will be taken.

Well that's a depressing read

Well that's a depressing read

Is it true though? Not seen it anywhere else.
My 8 month old granddaughter tested positive today, first case I've heard of locally for months.

Feigl-Ding is a scaremonger and a fear merchant, and has been since the early days of the pandemic. I wouldn't take anything he says as gospel in the slightest- I don't doubt that these are terrible days in China, with more to come, but I don't trust the source.

I know there have been constant short lockdowns in some of the manufacturing districts out there. So something is still going around in a bad way, it seems.

I've got no idea if he's trustworthy or not tbh, I took it broadly at face value, but it doesn't seem particularly out of the question as a scenario. Not particularly concerned about a the West from a health point of view, but the prospect of a couple of million deaths is pretty horrible. And obviously if they do have significant problems then we'll feel it in our pockets as it will definitely lengthen and deepen the recession

Vaccination rates in China are horrendously low I believe, meaning the removal of restrictions is putting lots of at risk groups at increased exposure, which is probably what the scaremongering relates to.

Officially upward of 85% there as of this summer IIRC. Granted, I don't recall the exact source, so grain of salt.

Their vaccines are also different from ours, although I couldn't tell you how much that actually matters.

They had a zero Covid policy, so as soon as a case was reported areas were locked down.

I thought it was lower, & take up rates in the older age groups is particularly low.

85% of 1.4 billion leaves you a pool of 210 million unvaccinated people.
