Tell me you're being humorously ironic...please.

Do you mean by choosing a leader who believes the earth began 6000 years ago? Or representing a political cohort that hasn't moved an inch since since 1916.

I think he's trying to imply that we - as a species - 'survived' the Black Death. It had between a 40-60% mortality rate. So we basically began again as a society. I'm sure that's what he really wants.

The Telegraph categorises this station as 'centre-right'. I know there's a lack of self-awareness amongst the press, but how out of touch with reality are some of these newspapers?

A right-wing 'newspaper' calling the current government - not politicians - hopeless. My point is that Starmer is so scared of reactions of these very same 'newspapers' to actually call out these idiots himself.

The Daily Star, a tits and totes tabloid actually being more radical than the current Labour leader.

'Truth Squad'. All very Trumpian.

You know that thing where all the preposterous conspiracy theories begin on a certain video channel, thus sending western democracies hurtling towards disastrous and deadly fascism? If only I could remember it's name...

The Tories don't have policies though, they just attack and promise to 'change/sell-off' existing laws/institutions.

I mean it's not hard to come up with something decent, but let's not forget, when the Labour Party do offer a manifesto that promises a lot, the right-wing media will start saying 'How do you pay for it?'. The Tories do not get this same scrutiny - hence Philip Hammond on the Andrew Marr show having a £10 billion blackhole in his budget, which was ignored completely. It could not be more blatant.

Forcing people to do something that makes them less able to spread or catch a deadly pathogen is a 'bit worrying'? Really? Fuck me, I'm out.

Anyone 'choosing' not to get it should be made to write out the scientific reasoning behind their insane decision.

Why, though. The whole idea of vaccines is that everyone gets it, and we can all get back to normal. Why would anyone refuse? I'm not accusing you of starting a conspiracy, but you are giving voice to a preposterous argument, namely some people don't want a vaccine that protects them and others against a deadly pandemic. Anyone can see that's insane.

I haven't gone down the 'shaving all of it off' route as yet, but I'm sure the day is coming. After having a full head of hair my whole life, I started losing hair in my 40s. Unfortunately it's falling out from the crown, so I have a 'skullcap' area where there is less hair. As I'm black-haired, it stands out like a new moon. The wife says she never notices it, but she is only 5 foot 2, so she probably can't see that high. I keep it short - No4 and No3 - but I'm now waiting for my hair to turn grey, so it helps disguise the patch.
