Thank you to George Floyd demonstrators for testing social distancing.

thats true, I dont agree with bennymultifinish's assessment but that doesnt make him racist.


TBF I think there is racism, it does exist and it can be unpleasant......and yet if people complain and that is interprete as playing the victim -what can they do to make change?

I actually don't think BLM spokespeople help the matter because they have such tunnel vision.....a more balanced viewpoint would help their cause far more.

You see you're not all bad Notchy. Sometimes, very occasionally, in fact very very seldom you do post something of worth. Well done!
 
Question..Do people who dye their hair purple wish they were purple?

I see what you have tried to do there Sir. But, it's not the same thing.

Here's something off-topic for laughs

three weeks since the protests and there does not seem to be any related outbreak in Covid. I'm starting to think large outdoor gatherings are not as dangerous as we thought they were.

Wow intrigued to what this is, he's been an extreme moaning codger for a while on here..
 
Is that Ellal and Joe Exotic?
Nah, it's dumb and dumber...

Personally I reckon you're the latter, but there's plenty of the 'gang' who would fight you for that honour :)

The latest ONS data shows the decline in new cases has slowed, possibly plateaued.

That's what I expect to happen during lockdown. Pass when it's relaxed but lockdown causes cases to fall but there still are some so will be on a random basis where for some reason lockdown hasn't worked as it should. Probably just down to people - a small % of them.

I went to a major shopping centre the other day. Sainsbury, M&S Foodhall and a bank open. I'd say that is where some proportion of that % shop. Earlier a Lidl was similar.

The other thing I noticed in both was lack of masks. Use our local shops which includes a moderately sized CoOp and many wear them. People also tend to stick to 2m.

Go back to "normal" and it wont be any different to how it went when it started. Crowds and spikes. Depends who's in them. Liverpool may now be a favourite. We have only really heard about hospital cases - a proportion of people who have caught it. We now have tested positive figures from Pillar 2 testing. Think that is circa 1,000 day with the other testing. At the moment this is what they are finding

The rate of decline in laboratory confirmed case detections has slowed with close to 5,700 cases detected in week 25 compared to just over 6,500 in week 24. Case detections remain highest in the north of the country and there have been increases in case detections through outside of hospital testing in Yorkshire and Humber over the past 2 weeks. At a local authority level, activity was highest in parts of West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and in Leicester.

Hospital entries are still falling a bit but that relates to age of the infected so how much care people are taking will have an effect. The Liverpool crowd probably had a proportion of circa 50 year olds and up so that might show something. Ages below that would only give smaller numbers. Not that many in the crowds either compared with population levels. They might behave themselves elsewhere.
 
Try telling that to people and police effected by the illegal street parties in London and elsewhere.

True. The one in London was interesting and illustrates a problem. Reporter talking to a coloured person afterwards. Totally different approach taken by the police compared with Bournemouth and by the look of things Liverpool more recently. Difference entirely down to colour.

I sometimes wonder if there is a community problem. It only takes a few people to change things from this

I must have missed the images from Bournemouth beach of the sun-bathers violently rioting, attacking the Police, stomping on Police vehicles.

I don't put the differences in the 2 videos I posted down to west mids police but both look to apply to the same community. Difference - just very few people. That's all it takes. I see it as the sort of thing that only members of that community can really sort out. Some do help with that sort of thing but it needs extending into other areas. It's no good people going around and saying all is due to colour. It's not as simple as that. On top of that some police just like ordinary people will be racist. Numbers in my view though have declined rather a lot over time.

True, I didn't see Liverpool fans or Bournemouth beech goers throwing missiless at police.As for a community problem, the Brixton community has a very large black population, but the majority of them were most likely against the party, and lots of the rioters were from other areas.Its a control problem, go in hard and crush them.
