It would be better for all involved I think if on the bus you could just wear a face mask to protect you from "man made global warming" as that way the person you chose to sit next to on the bus would know exactly what your opinions are on Climate change, Palestine, Covid, LBGTQ+2LSA, illegal immigration, pronouns, Trump, the Tories etc and would be able to make an informed decision to move elsewhere (or pretend someone else is sitting there) before you got a chance to. That way this person would be safe from being infected by leftist woke nonsense.

It does seem a bit easy to knock out and cause an entire bridge to collapse. It's going to give all the wrong people ideas for their next terrorist attack as it is a lot easier to commandeer a large boat and steer it into a bridge leg(?) at rush hour than attempt to take over a plane to crash into a building.

Clearly you didn't read the article, as excess deaths are not counted differently. The article states that with the covid death count there were many different ways of counting this. In Norway a covid death was only counted as a covid death if the consulting physician said it was the cause of death, whereas Sweden counted it as a covid death if they had tested positive for covid at some point but died of something unrelated such as a heart attack. The way every country counts a death is the same. Are they alive or not. If not then it is counted as a death.

Another one that seems to think that the only thing that killed people during covid was covid. The excess deaths are the only reliable figure to use here as some countries counted a death as a covid death if within 30 days of a positive test and some didn't. But a death is always counted as a death whatever the reason so if you look at excess deaths from all causes then Sweden looks quite good, and importantly they didn't destroy their economy or wreck their kids education either. I know these cold hard facts can be difficult to take if you have been heavily invested in the lie that lockdowns saved lives, but they are what they are. https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/sweden-during-pandemic#excess-deaths

Sure, if the only thing people died of was covid then preventing covid deaths would be a good thing. Unfortunately during this period the things that kill people in much greater numbers did not go away and were probably exasperated due to lockdowns (people not being screened for cancer/heart conditions whilst still treatable etc). Also different countries counted covid deaths differently so is not a reliable number for comparison. What is a reliable number though is excess deaths from any cause. So my point stands, that Sweden without a lockdown had lower excess deaths than countries that applied lockdowns, so it could easily be argued that lockdowns caused worse outcomes than not locking down. I know the data does not suit the narrative that 'lockdowns saved lives' (sorry about that), and this is the point I was making earlier. Even with cold hard facts presented to those who thought lockdowns were a good idea that demonstrates they were palpably not a good idea, people (such as yourself) would willingly accept lockdowns even with knowing this fact.

I admire your optimism but I think "the people" will willingly accept it all over again. Even if you could inject hindsight directly into the 70-80% of people who craved lockdowns and literally show them how much economic damage it caused for no difference in outcomes they would do the same thing all over again, and probably demand longer and harder lockdowns as the previous ones were ineffective. Propaganda is a powerful tool and far too many people are susceptible to it. Governments have experience of using this tool now and will use it even more effectively next time as covid was a wonderful and profitable time for the richest and most powerful on the planet, and there is just no way they will let the next one go to waste.

Australians divided over ‘Voice to Parliament’ for Indigenous people

Are you equally racist to non-white people living in the UK based on their ancestors migrating there and have now made it their home? Do you tell them to "go back home" as well? -
If the content posted is not illegal then why would you object to that? Do you want censorship? Did you read 1984 and think how amazing it would be to live in that kind of world?

Record warmth in global oceans hits one-year mark, defies explanation

Perhaps you should reflect on the story of King Canute and the tide and see if you can draw any lessons from that. -

It's hubris to think that despite there being clear geological evidence that the planets climate has always been changing over millions of years, humans are solely responsible for it now. Where you can draw accurate correlations though is how much richer the richest tend to get when the gullible proles fall for another one of their money making schemes. -
Waspi women & the UK State Pension
James105 replied to OJAS's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Surely it should be WASPE as they are against state pension equality, as prior to the change women (despite living on average longer than men) were entitled to get their pension at 60, whereas men had to wait until they were 65. The change simply made it equal.
