Paywall on your FT article there.

Ah, sorry; I got access no problem...and can assure you I'm not a subscriber to the FT

I think I might have used up my quota of free articles lately as it only offers me the sub when I click.

Was reading a few Twitter threads about the changes but I quickly found I was in over my head. Will have to read more. I  was wondering though is it actually that much more transmissable or is that simply the dominant strain in that area and the same transmission rate as normal? Sure only time will tell I guess. The south east where it appears most had a fairly soft time in the spring as well so maybe simply more potential hosts there.

Has anyone spared a thought for those in the gay community these last nine months?
Or more specifically, how they greet each other....

"Fist or elbow?"

936 new cases in Ireland I'm reading and yet all I see are fuckers pouring into Ireland for Christmas, if the Irish abroad pages I follow on facebook are anything to go by. Again, none of it makes any sense. The same cunts aswell that would be harping on about wearing masks and keeping distance are the onces that can't spenf a Christmas without Mammy's pudding. Pure cuntish behaviour.

Really great to see the whole world is singing from the same hymn sheet.

We won't be going door-to-door, but if we get a tip off that rules are being broken somewhere, then we will follow it up

Don't forget to turn on each other this xmas folks and remember - we're all in this together!

Some guy posted this a few weeks ago on Twitter (I think)....

'This Christmas, if you're thinking of snitching on your neighbours having guests over. Go to your fridge instead and have a nice cold glass of milk.
Y'see, milk is good for your teeth. Just like keeping your mouth shut is!

Yep, we're all in this together but some of us are more in it together than others.

Something a bit different there but sort of connected to keeping the gravy train on the rails

Not really surprising that the heads of the companies making the vaccines and the secondary service companies are making bank on it though, pretty expected

It's a communist conspiracy, all of this liberal capitalist opportunism is nothing but cunningly disguised unadulterated communism!
