How do you even know if a takeaway is safe? What goes on in the kitchens? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/ms-supplier-sandwich-factory-closure-coronavirus-a4530681.html

As I said it sounded like no cough I've ever heard before and I've been around asthmatics, whooping cough, people with COPD and bronchitis etc for decades...anyone care to comment on the 'Covid 19 Dry Cough'

So A and A* are up from 25.2% last year to 37.7% this year under teacher assessment...watch out for the drop-outs unless the universities dumb down their courses or add on foundation years! Obviously the previous algorithm benefitted small classes (German, Latin...) and small independent schools disproportionately but this is no better.

The figures that worry me most are the number of people that catch the virus each day which apparently has gone down from 3,800 PER DAY to 2,400 per day. Add to that the symptom-less but contagious and the people who have it but carry on regardless (like a man in Sainsbury's car park a couple of weeks ago who was coughing continuously as he loaded his car and put his trolley back...making no effort to contain the coughing which sounded different to any cough I've ever heard before- and he was red in the face and sweating!) So it is no surprise that spikes are cropping up everywhere. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8650873/Is-Englands-Covid-19-outbreak-finally-shrinking-good-ONS-estimates-2-400-new-cases-day.html?ito=push-notification&ci=29265&si=13475645 there is no room for complacency imo

Unfortunately because of legislation in 2002 which removed powers from the Home Secretary and gave it to 'judges' another miscreant cannot get a whole life order... https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12448683/manchester-bomber-hashem-abedi-life-sentence-not-21-bomb/

at least he did a U turn under unprecedented circumstances unlike that rubbish Labour government we had for years!

Since the young and symptom-less are spreading the Covid 19 then any mixing of bodily fluids amongst people from different households should carry a Covid-19 related warning. https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-clusters-linked-to-asymptomatic-younger-cases/a-54293037

it is narrow there maybe it's a Covid strategy and temporary

The cells of your body have receptors on them in order for hormones etc. to get in the cell and do their job. The virus covid 19 is structured in such a way that it can latch on to the ACE2 receptor on cells which are in many parts of the body then it can hijack the cells' mechanism and replicate itself and spread The covid 19 is VERY similar in mode of cell entry to the first Covid in 2002 'Recently, it was shown that a metallopeptidase, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), efficiently binds the S1 domain of the SARS-CoV S protein. SARS-CoV replicated efficiently on ACE2-transfected but not mock-transfected 293T cells. Also, anti-ACE2 but not anti-ACE1 antibodies blocked viral replication on Vero E6 cells, indicating that ACE2 is a functional receptor for SARS-CoV [80] which was also identified by a further study [81].' (a paper from 2005) From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC548145/ about halfway down the first page- 'Target Cell Receptors'. As this SARS-CoV (as it was called) happened in 2002 and there was absolutely tons of research done on it since- including trying to find a vaccine without success- I'm not surprised that there are conspiracy theories abounding as for one thing the Chinese will not allow anyone into the Wuhan biological facility to inspect. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/coronavirus-china-bars-safety-experts-from-wuhan-lab-brbm9rwtm And you are right about gene splicing etc it's been going on since at least 1992 when I did some myself and biotech has moved on exponentially.

He has masses of experience and did not win the 2019 election so comprehensively without having appealed to the majority. The relevant cabinet ministers- i.e. Gavin Williamson -Education, and Grant Shapps- Transport to keep people on the move- are important after the devastating impact of the bloody covid 19 which is UNPRECEDENTED....and since you Boris naysayers are NOT part of the solution you are part of the problem imo. And how do you know if Boris is a grafter? Have you got covert cctv in his office or something?

They must have brain fever wearing those hot clothes!

the raised kerbs are completely camouflaged and dangerous

I imagine it's much like 'watching' an item on eBay...when another one comes along first and cheaper they buy that and don't bother to tell you.

The streets will NEVER be healthy around here...people do not think beyond their own little world- and they will carry on polluting

Aircraft fumes just add to the fumes from selfish idiots sitting in their cars idling and setting fire to wood, barbecues etc as soon as the sun comes out. Shame on all of you

JohnL wrote...'We did that as students 30 years ago ...' what you protested outside a cop shop over a legitimate arrest? Really? I don't think so somehow....

I had a massive problem during the lockdown proper but as I had the phone number of the builder in charge I could pass it on to a noise/ environment officer who contacted the builder and it was sorted. I used the Southwark number for anti-social behaviour. We cannot just be abandoned to these selfish articles in our midst!

I hope this type of thing doesn't spread because the cops will NEVER be able to deal with anything else. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8605347/Standoff-police-arrest-14-year-old-boy-suspicion-cannabis-possession.html?ito=push-notification&ci=27027&si=13475645 This was a legitimate arrest and a completely inappropriate response. Given that the mayor has 'sided' with trouble makers on many occasions methinks he is using London as a political football

Maybe if successive protests such as anti-Brexit, extinction rebellion and blm etc etc hadn't wasted so much police resources things would not be so dire. The ONLY protests worth doing in the last 20 years was the march against the Iraq war- the rest was just a bunch of virtue-signalling, anti-democratic pile of pants

From Wiki 'Location within the body ACE2 is present in most organs: ACE2 is attached to the cell membrane of mainly lung type II alveolar cells, enterocytes of the small intestine, arterial and venous endothelial cells and arterial smooth muscle cells in most organs. ACE2 mRNA expression is also found in the cerebral cortex, striatum, hypothalamus, and brainstem.[18] The expression of ACE2 in cortical neurons and glia make them susceptible to a SARS-CoV-2 attack, which was the possible basis of anosmia and incidences of neurological deficits seen in COVID-19.[19] As anosmia and dysgeusia are seen early in many COVID-19 patients, it was suggested to be considered to be a heralding clue in COVID-19,[20] which subsequently was declared as "significant symptoms" in COVID-19 by the American Academy of Otolaryngology?Head and Neck Surgery.[21]' The presence of ACE2 elsewhere explains the various symptoms. Always check your sense of smell and taste is ok for instance.
