A very poor decision to suspend this. How many will die due to being left unprotected? And all because a few people had blood clots at the same rate that unvaccinated people have blood clots.

There's a bad whiff about all this. A concerted effort to discredit AZ. First Macron saying it was quasi-ineffective in over 65's with zero evidence, and now this from Germany, Italy and France (coincidentally the 3 largest and most influential EU member states) contrary to WHO advice.

I swear if a load of AZ vaccinated people boarded a plane and it crashed, they'd probably suspend vaccinations saying that AZ may cause aviation disasters.????

Hopefully these countries will be passing these unused, 'dangerous' AV vaccines to other countries that need it. Unlike a few weeks ago when they said AZ was ineffective and then initiated policies to keep as many as they could. ????

I'm not sure the way to treat a group of women protesting about the murder of an attractive young woman by a police officer, is by police manhandling another attractive young woman, in front of a photographer. It seems at the least a little insensitive, if not downright stupid.

According to The Met protesting about a black man being killed by American police thousands of miles away in a different country is ok. Take a knee.

But protesting about a white woman being killed by a member of The UK Met a few miles away is not ok. Handcuffs and headlocks.

Welcome to 2021.

I've NOT frequently pointed my finger at immigrants. Actually, I can't remember doing it  a SINGLE time.

If you can't quote me saying so, I will brand you as a troll.

She can't quote anything. She is forcing you to defend yourself against completely unfounded accusations. It's a deflection tactic.

It's stink bait and should be removed but it won't be. Ignore it.

What has the BLM got to do with this?

I was drawing a comparison between  the police taking a knee to BLM as opposed to the heavy handed approach shown towards this crowd.

In other words, the police are policing based on the political correctness of the cause rather than the threat to life which was much greater when BLM protested pre vaccine.

I thought the point was obvious but hopefully that's clarified it.

Makes sense.  They invested in them, are first up to get the jabs, etc.  Why wait in line for another jab when you've got a homegrown one ready to go? 

That wasnt the point.

The point was that if your vaccine is so good and ready to go, why would you need to discredit another vaccine using unsubstantiated data.

Sounds like the Oxford/AZ vaccine has a lot of companies feeling insecure. Even Macron was rubbishing it a few weeks ago.

Politics interfering with saving lives. Sad stuff.

The super effective and inexpensive AZ vaccine seems to be being attacked by many countries that have spent billions developing their own less effective vaccines.

Can't imagine why...

The very definition of racism is likely to be different for every person asked. The vast majority of the white people I know deny any sort of institutional racism exists. Of course that is wrong. However, I consider the denial to be due to upbringing, indoctrination, culture, being out of touch, and not being around people of color, in addition to arrogance. 

 

Most of the historical stories and accounts I have read, point toward an arrogant, cruel, and condescending attitude towards India, by the colonists. You can define that as something other than racism if it makes you feel better. 

A few days ago you stated that white people are boring and brown people are amazing.

I dont think you lecturing on racism is a good idea. Unless your name is Harry.

I blame the organisers. A few BLM tshirts could have prevented the whole issue.

Police would have taken the knee and the gathering could have continued unabated.

Unfortunately for those arrested the victim was white and crowd was primarily white women. I believe the left call them Karens. So no Politically correct pandering was required from the police on this occasion. Just handcuffs and headlocks.

It’s not so much about filing anything, rather now we know you have a degree in psychology and are keen to refer to it as authority to declare an idea from psychology as ‘debunked’ it makes reference to other psychological explanations of online behavior fair game.

I have in mind ‘projection’ but also ‘male fragility’, and too, many other explanations of why a particular group within TVF respond so predictably to a range of issues, in this case male violence against women, by immediately becoming defensive, throwing in distractions and of course preening their own sense of victimhood.

We have many interesting discussions ahead of us.

 

 

Funny you mention Projection. I referred to this myself recently when Prince Harry started lecturing us on racism, privilege and the environment after dressing like a Nazi, calling his military colleague a racial slur and buying a 14 million dollar mansion with 16 bathrooms.

Of course you defended him. I guess we can add virtue signaling, hypocrisy and the strange phenomenon of leftist woke feminist socialists pandering to Aristocratic Millionaires to the list of topics? Should be fun.

So Jonny, you have a degree in Psychology.

That’s a very interesting piece of background information you chose to share with us.

Don't forget to file it in your little black book under JonnyF ????.

But actually I've shared before on TV, so No it's not particularly interesting.

In fact I recall you enquiring which University I studied at, but as I have had problems with some fairly creepy internet stalkers on TV in the past (not naming any names of course ????) I declined to divulge????.

Absolute nonsense. I spent quite some time studying behavioral neuroscience as part of my Psychology degree and this ancient brain theory was pretty much universally discredited.

That article is one of the worst I've read in a long time. It reads like it was written by some A level student on LSD.

Only served by women as all the barmen will be stuck at home from 6pm. along with all other male workers.

Yeah they better have a lot of female bus drivers, taxi drivers, doorpeople, barwomen etc. In fact, why 6pm? Just lock up all men forever.

The whole idea is ludicrous. Typical of the Green Party. No thought given regarding the reality of their proposals. Just fluffy, idiotic virtue signaling.

In the UK this could be deemed as inflicting "actual bodily harm" and is a criminal offence.  Remember, if the alcohol gets in to the eyes, it hurts and hurt is bodily harm.  Does Thailand have a similar law?

Yep, not to mention some people have quite serious allergies to alcohol including breathing difficulties and swelling of the lips, tongue and throat.

His tantrums are embarrassing for all concerned.

Luckily a sensible solution from the Green party was forthcoming. During a House of Lords parliamentary debate Baroness Jones delivered this little gem

"I might put in an amendment to create a curfew for men on the streets after 6pm. I feel this would make women a lot safer, and discrimination of all kinds would be lessened."

Looks good on paper, can't see any potential issues.

Yes I saw that. She wants a curfew on men from 6pm.

However, she also supports gender self identification so I think I see a way around this for any women with a penis who fancy a quick pint in the evening ????.

Exactly even their queen mentioned it. She remembers what happened. 

What did The Queen mention?

The palace said "some recollections may vary" which is a very polite way of saying that The Markles are lieing through their teeth.
