One of the worst things about this website is getting a ringside seat to watch your childhood heroes intellectually soiling themselves to an audience of millions

Saying this as clearly as I can: Boris Johnson is removing the Covid restrictions because he WANTS the NHS to collapse, so that he has a political excuse for privatising it. Nothing else, not even stupidity, can explain what's going on.

Also, most civilized countries take a pretty dim view of people who shit on their football pitch, but that didn't stop you doing it.

Green madness. Electric cars belonging to the city of Paris. No one will buy them because of the cost of the replacement battery. Who will dispose of this junk, especially the batteries?

Pemex is a state-owned entity. It was nationalised in 1938 by the Mexican socialist government. Pidcocked up again.

The sea is on fire but some people *still* think capitalism can be managed.

Living in mass communities, being regularly exposed to colds and viruses and occasionally getting them is good for the immune system and is how societies are able to function. Who, other than anyone who has liven in the 10,000 years since the Neolithic Revolution, knew.

Who'd have thought it? Been evident from the start. Now as a preprint on MedRxiv with solid evidence. Colds protect against Covid. telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/07…
Common cold could prime the immune system to fight off Covid

Common cold could prime the immune system to fight off Covid

Kane making Hummels look like a sub-10-second track athlete. Is he injured or just doesn't give a fuck?
Independent SAGE has played a pernicious role over the past year. It has smeared critics of lockdown and pushed Covid apocalypticism. Now its founder is moving on to climate change. These people are a menace to scientific debate, says @clim8resistance spiked-online.com/2021/06/29…
The lockdown fanatics are moving on to climate change

The likes of Independent SAGE crave a permanent state of emergency.

Labour putting out leaflets in Batley & Spen that attack the Conservatives for having diplomatic relations with India. Not a dogwhistle, but a foghorn. Labour’s rising hostility to Indians is repulsive and hugely under-reported.
