Assange will get a trial in open court, he’ll have legal representation and Constitutional rights. The terms of his extradition preclude a death penalty. There will not be ‘a next Trump administration’, he too is heading for the slammer.

Yes very good. Vaccines that we’re not designed for the newly arrived variant of the virus.

The data on Omicron is being compiled and is at best only a few weeks old. Hiw dangerous’ it is to an individual is only part of the equation, also to be considered is how fast it is spreading and the rate that it is putting people into hospital or otherwise rendering them unfit for work or in need of medical support.

The summer winter comparison problem in your argument is ‘summer in SA v Winter in UK/Denmark’. Have another go.

See post above.

Again you completely ignore significant factors that are in play. It’s summer in SA, it’s winter in the UK and Denmark - As has been explained to you. Additionally, testing and reporting regimes between these nations are different. You are comparing ‘apples and oranges’ then predictably concluding on an answer that fits the narrative of your posting history.

I, and others, have pointed out the logical fallacies in your arguments, comments I have made that directly address the arguments you made. Your failure to address those logical fallacies is in no sense an embarrassment to me.

Show some proof then.

Again, misrepresentation of facts. The vaccination programs have dramatically reduced infections, serious illness, hospitalizations, and deaths. A new variant comes along for which the vaccines where not designed. The Uk’s vaccination program has been a very clear success, it has done what it was designed to do.

So now you are repeating the strawman argument that the vaccines designed for earlier variants (for which they dramatically reduced infections, serious illness, hospitalizations and deaths).

Without any consideration of what might account for the differing infection rates between SA and the UK, you jump to conclusions that, by chance, align with the points of view you have previously expressed. There is nothing on the comparison between the UK and SA that makes ‘a good case for natural immunity’. By example, it’s summertime in SA and winter in the UK, a seasonal difference that is accompanied by significant changes in how people spend there day, in doors or out and about in fresh air. And once again we see the Strawman, and frankly intellectually dishonest, argument regarding the vaccines in terms of the new strain of the virus. The vaccines administered where designed to combat earlier variants of the virus, not the new variant. As for your ‘possible deleterious effects’, present your evidence, or accept you are making a baseless assertion.

It’s not just hospital cases. The rate at which infections are increasing is also a threat to other essential services where high numbers of staff off sick will have an impact.

Given that it’s already spread globally, stopping all air travel would have near zero impact on its spread.

You are once again making a strawman argument. The vaccination programs are justified on the basis of their success against the varients for which they were designed to combat, they have done a remarkable job at reducing infections, serious illness, hospitalizations and deaths. The advent of a new variant is not in any sense a failure of the vaccines and vaccination programs.

Right, so people being diagnosed and treated for ‘Long COVID’ are liars and the doctors treating them are liars too. Added to which, in order to fit your conspiracy theory, they are all coordinating their lies. Long COVID is real. https://www.yourcovidrecovery.nhs.uk/what-is-covid-19/long-covid/

Yes it is very clear who created the videos, but I didn’t ask who created them, I asked where you ripped them from. We might then go directly to the source of where you are getting this content created by others. I suspect it’s arriving in your social media feed. Regardless, they’re not your opinions, they are the opinions of others presented in videos you’ve ripped.

LA8RAT we know you can cut and paste videos but how about providing a link to the source where you ripped them from? Then you might offer your opinion rather than the pre-canned opinions you are being fed and seem to think you must feed others.

The existing vaccines have done an exceptional job at reducing infections, serious illness, hospitalizations and deaths. A new variant of this wretched virus comes along and additional vaccinations are necessary, it’s they it is. Good luck with eschewing vaccination in favour of some health kick ideas.

If you don’t like panic then let’s hope the hospitals do no become overwhelmed.

This isn’t a visa issue.

Thanks for your response. I’ve had several of these certification letters in the past, today’s refusal and statements that they don’t issue these is beyond bizarre. I don’t think going back and proving them wrong would be helpful. My guess, the wrong answer was given to start with and then doubled down on.

PM sent

The problem is nobody has any faith in Johnson. The public have done remarkably well and suffered greatly in the fight against this wretched disease, only to learn the PM and his cronies have been taking the proverbial.

I this morning visited our local immigration office to request a ‘Confirmation of address letter’, I need this to meet requirements of an application am submitting to my own country’s embassy. The answer I got was: We don’t issue confirmation of address letters. Odd because I have, on a number of occasions. received these from the same immigration office. Next came the question, ‘what do you need the letter for?’ Followed by, ‘Show me the application papers’. My response was, I don’t have them with me. I stated I wanted the same letter they provided me when I registered my car. The answer ‘we don’t issue address confirmation letters’. I had a copy of the last letter (now two years out of date) in my file but no way was I going to invite the response to proving the jobs worth wrong. So what next. Are these letters really no longer issued? If they are still issued can I get this letter at another immigration office?

I wouldn’t put much store in what Johnson has to say, he doesn’t obey his own dictates within the UK so I don’t think they are worth the slightest consideration from Thailand. We are planning our usual Christmas eve dinner, with all the trimmings but it will be on the terrace and only four of us at table.
