What about the many big bike riders who have been riding them for years, or even decades?. Again, an ill-thought out idea, with many questions still left unanswered. Another knee-jerk reaction to a problem that does not actually exist, from people with no expertise in the area.
Common practices in other countries which have better road safety records. Absolutely reasonable to ask motorbike drivers to undergo training before getting a license, same as car drivers have to. The only issue is setting the threshold at a high 400cc where it should start way below that.
(Even before this announcement I was looking for motorbike classes simply because I don’t know how to drive anything that has more power than a scooter and I don’t want to put myself or others into danger, so I agree with the direction even if the details aren’t right yet.)

It’s not the big bikes you need to worry about , it’s the idiots who think they are riding one. Excessive speed on a light 150cc with bicycle sized tyres and under the influence.
Guess what, it’s not the big bikes that will be required to get training it’s the idiots riding one who will be required to receive training.

Most of the Europeans on here who consistently tell the Brits whats best for them and how they they should conduct their politics have such boring countries that they have very little to discuss about, besides pensions.
We enjoy the best of both worlds: our politics aren’t embarrassing laughing stocks like Brexit or Trump, but we can always look at Brexit or Trump for our entertainment ????

Like the remain vote would win in 2016. like BJ would never be prime minister. You and your like have made so many predictions that fail you continue to embarrass yourselves.
Oh, where did I tell you what’s best for you?
Where did I make any predictions? (Though you must admit it’s a bit bold to talk about predictions when you’re a Brexiteer)Where did I even talk about “the Brits”? ????
You gotta work on your reading-comprehension skills ????????

Absolutely not. How could there be any failures when you’re holding all the cards and can do things in an afternoon over a cup of tea? ????

As a European, I love reading all those Brexit failures. It keeps giving and giving. Brexiteers have so much egg on their face by now, they look like a bukkake party. Lovely.

No no, @Loiner said they had four years to prepare, so it’s their own fault. So screw them; who needs businesses anyway when you can have blue passports?
Another great Brexit success story. As a European, I keep LMAO. What a great comedy Brexit is ????

1 hour ago, BritManToo said:How was Hillary Vs Trump before the election?
- Biden has a net-positive fav/unfav rating in our latest poll (43 percent/42 percent), while Clinton didn’t in the Oct. 2016 NBC News/WSJ poll (40 percent/50 percent).
- Biden has been at 50 percent or higher on the ballot in five-straight NBC News/WSJ polls, while Clinton only got to 50 percent or higher twice in two-way matchups during the general election (and both times were right after “Access Hollywood”).
- Biden’s lead since January has consistently been between 6 and 11 points (with the exception being his 14-point lead right after the first debate), while Clinton’s lead over Trump ranged between 3 and 11 points.
- Biden has consistently led among seniors, while Clinton never did, as the Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman points out.

And people need to understand that that’s the same with every test, whether Covid-19 or other things. When you get tested for HIV, it used to be that your test shouldn’t be earlier than 3 months after your last sex. With the newest generation tests, it’s supposed to be conclusive after 4-6 weeks already. What that actually means is that 95% of people develop enough antibodies/antigen after 4-6 weeks to show up on a test. It still means that you could be one of the 5% who don’t. There’s always a trade-off; if you were to target 100% safety it would mean you’d have to quarantine everyone for longer, even though the majority could safely leave quarantine after 14 days negative tests.

I read it's the amount of amplifaction required gives many false positives due to the fact if you amplify anything enough times you will find a trace of it even dead viruses.
Please elaborate how that works in detail. Because I believe it’s a load of nonsense: PCR generally is highly reliable and one of the best testing technology that exists in modern diagnostic, and many Covid-19 PCR seem to have sensitivity and specificity rates of up to 99.9%.

Is it? I've just head HSV1/HSV2 blood PCR tests, they cam back both negative which I find very hard to believe as I am absolutely certain I've head HSV1 since my early childhood, where there were always two or three kids with cold sores in the classroom.
I thought also that I was likely to test positive for HSV2, but not with any level of certainty.
From what I know, HSV is difficult to test for, and ideally been done using a swab from an open sore.
Similarly, PCR tests for other infections get less reliable when using a wrong or less preferred specimen.
Most currently available Covid-19 PCR tests seem to have a sensitivity and specificity rates of up to 99.9% if carried out correctly, which is extremely high. There’s one vendor that regularly tests all its hundreds of employees and never had a positive. If those tests had a high rate of false positives then this would not be the case. Some studies come to similar results.
Im not a doctor though. If you need medical advice, discuss it with an experienced infectious disease specialist. I’m just sharing what I learned myself.

Now he cast himself in a negative manner, and cannot even falsely claim it’s just some doctored left wing biased version. (Not that anyone other than his QAnon friends would have believed that crapload anyways.)
What an idiot.

13 minutes ago, 4MyEgo said:I have done enough reading from reputable sources, one of which showed the inventor of the PCR tests stating that they cannot detect Covid-19 on their own
That’s nonsense.
Quoteany dead cells from past viruses would flag a positive result
That’s always the case with PCR tests, whether it’s Covid or Chlamydia. That’s why you don’t do a test of cure too close to an antimicrobial treatment, for example, as the body may still he flushing out dead cells (another reason is false negatives btw).
Quoteso what do you make of that ?
You don’t just rely on one positive. You do confirmatory tests, which may include additional PCR Tests as well as x-Rays and looking at a patient‘s symptoms.
PCR is super reliable and one of the best technologies available in modern diagnosis. There are infections that practically you can’t even detect without PCR.

Not the point - again - my post was was to demonstrate that the EU could have finished with us 18 months ago if they had wanted to.
So did the UK, of course. And, unlike the EU, they could have done and still could do so at every point in the process I believe.

You are right, they could have denied the UK‘s requests for extensions.
