Quote: wrencat1873 "Do you mean "taken a knee" like Domonic Raab, another really well informed Tory cabinet Minister.

The rest of your post could be taken from the Daily Mail archive.
The same editorial that was calling our NHS staff lazy and anyone on benefits, scroungers.

Let's start with EVERYONE being equal in the eyes of the law and then try and move on from there.
Racism, unfortunately is ingrained accross society and given our country's history, how could it be anything else.

Yes, it's improving but, there is a long, long way to go.

As for racism denying ALL opportunities, of course it doesn't.
However, just as with the example that I threw in about gender equality, it means that some minority groups have to work a damn sight harder and be a damn sight more determined to make it but, you know this.'"

So, no answers. Nothing. More rhetoric, no answers. You're all clamouring for 'equality', 'justice' etc - but what does it look like? Third time of asking.

You call it a Mail editorial, I wouldn't know. But show me anything inaccurate in my post. Anything. Typical of the left, belittle and dismiss the inconvenient truth if it doesn't support the victim narrative.

Tell me, who exactly is unequal in the eyes of the law?

And yes, take a knee just like Dominic Raab, the first person in authority to show a pair of cojones, unlike Labour who capitulated at the first opportunity. You might be surprised to know the majority haven't taken a knee and have no intention of doing. You probably assume that means everyone is racist, and that's part of the problem.

Race relations in the UK have regressed 30 years in the last month. There's far more division now than in decades.

Anyway, another question you didn't answer - have you taken a knee? icon_smile.gif

"Well, I think in Rugby League if you head butt someone there's normally some repercusions":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25511.jpg



Quote: Zoo Zoo Boom "These tables relate to the US - what has that got to do with the UK death by age?'"


I didn't say UK and in your question neither did you, I quoted death rates from covid. They are pretty much identical across the globe in every country and this is a good example table. Only variations are in countries like India and some of the developing countries where higher percentages of deaths are starting to appear in younger people.
I could have posted the UK figures for last week, the percentages are roughly the same.

Where did you get your data from?

"Brian McDermott, with a wry smile, nods when asked if he remembers a specific incident which made him realise he was a prick. 'I do', he murmurs.":22575.gif

Quote: Zoo Zoo Boom "I am not talking about the likes of JHB, Morgan and Young I am talking about the likes of Sridar and Gupta who educate our university students - are you saying they are not experts?'"


You did mention JHB so I did.

As for Gupta, yes, she's an epidemiologist but maybe you should watch this cringeworthy interview with Andrew Neil from October, where in the first 2 minutes makes a total fool of herself by saying (prompted by the human potato) the 50,000 cases per day projected by the governments advisors was nonsense. Where did we get to? 85,000 on one day in December?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxrG4hW3q2s

Gupta has been on the fringe of the scientific consensus since the beginning of the pandemic and is a strong proponent of herd immunity. Many of her predictions have been proved to be false and she has a poor track record on predictions.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... oronavirus

Herd immunity, the Great Barrington Declaration and the "Libertarians" behind it. Have a read of this.
https://arena.org.au/the-coming-covid-s ... claration/
It's not entirely critical and I think a well balanced review. We should not discount alternatives, that's counter productive - all options on the table.

The problem with Gupta in particular is that she's made grand statements and assumptions that have proved to be very, very inaccurate or just plain wrong. She also seems incapable of re-assessing her own position..

To be honest you can find all this out for yourself, I don't know why I'm doing it for you.


I actually work with some of the guys in the Oxford Zoology department, spoke to one of them today in fact. They are doing interesting work on Covid.

I think you knew very well I was quoting the the UK - and quoting one week is hardly representative.

Sadly, that one week will have included thousands of 'events' (deaths), so the sample size isn't small and likely is representative.
