This, the point of the original post.
Still don’t understand. It reads to me that most deaths occur in amongst old people, most old people have had 2 vaccinations therefore the majority of deaths will be people who have had two vaccinations.
Not claptrap but pretty rudimentary logic. I’m struggling to be outraged.

Nonsense. This inquiry is urgently needed. The point is to establish whether government's response was proportional to the threat it faced.
Spoiler, it wasn't.
Incidentally, Chris Whitty has been answering media questions as though he was responding to a QC at an inquiry for months now. Anyone who is surprised that we're having one really hasn't been paying attention.
Also, mods, I might be the most pathetic pedant on here, but can we please correct the thread's title?

Enquiry should not be capitalised. What do they teach in schools nowadays?

I wonder is this how they are planning to retake Taiwan without resorting to open warfare? The boss in China is looking more and more like the 2nd coming of chairman Mao Zedong so it wouldn't surprise me if he he thought just wiping out a few million people to achieve his goal was worth it, some mutated strain than seems specific to Taiwanese people, you can program nanotechnology to do these sorts of things.
Extraordinary, they can do that nowadays, can they? Outside of Star Trek I mean

What broker do you use to buy them from? One of the problems with Bitcoin was disappearing brokers and invalid coins. More small investors lost money due to that than volatility

But privately educated kids still get taught penmanship, grammar, table manners and how to write letters etcIs the WOKE agenda really trying to make working class kids unemployable? To create an underclass that will always be locked into low paid jobs and /or unemployment. People who will be always voting Labour because they have no choice, always dependent on benefits and handouts.
I find that really interesting, primarily because the people that pronounce ‘thou shall not correct grammar, spelling or semantics’ are usually educated. It seems to be a new class of elitism that aims to keep a dependant underclass rather than the old elitism that aimed to raise the working class to a useful level.
Particularly noticeable amongst liberal types who torn between supporting stout hard working families - but not the sort of scummy ones that drive white vans, perform manual work or go to football.

It's a sliding scale of recklessness and intention. First degree murder has to have a premeditative element to it and you have to be killing the victim with a knowing intent to kill him. Obviously this wasn't going to be the case here as it was a cop called to a scene.
Second degree, third degree and manslaughter are separated by the recklessness involved and the level of expectancy of fatality that can be drawn from the actions. So if you're found guilty of the most severe crime, you're going to be guilty of the lesser ones by default.
Second degree murder covers actions where it is blatantly obvious that a fatality is highly likely and that those actions were entirely unwarranted and unnecessary. So, holding a person's neck down with a knee for 9 minutes - and continuing to hold it down even after the person is unconscious - goes way beyond necessary force and it would have been evident to anyone around that limiting someone's oxygen supply for 9 minutes runs a huge likelihood of killing them. He had several opportunities to release the fatal grip and chose not to. The jury decided there were no reasonable mitigating circumstances.
Had he released it after 6 or 7 minutes, or if he'd been stopped from releasing the pressure by external forces, then the lesser charge of 3rd degree might have come into play. It would still have been reckless and unnecessary, but to a lesser extent. A rational, reasonable person could still have seen it would be fatal, but perhaps in the circumstances, it might have been more understandable. If he'd released immediately after it was apparent he'd lost consciousness, he could well have got away with manslaughter - the force was still excessive and unnecessary, but there would have been evidence of a deliberate attempt to avoid killing him.
In this case though, the time length of over 9 minutes was stupidly long and there was no attempt made to release the grip even after unconsciousness. There was no attempt made to introduce life saving measures when it became obvious he was not breathing. There were no extenuating circumstances that realistically impeded his ability, duty of care or rationality to excuse his actions. And with the rather weak defence given, a guilty verdict on all three was inevitable.
I initially thought that it couldn’t be murder but thanks to you, I now see that it could be nothing else. Very interesting, thank you.
Have you considered a career in the legal sector?

Quite. It’s not like the virus will eradicated, so when the next variant appears is it back into lockdown in perpetuity?
The vulnerable have been vaccinated - good, let’s get back to business.

My granddad used to swear by syrup of figs as a cure for a cough. “Half a bottle of that”, he’d say, “ and you won’t dare cough”.

Yes, it is worth something but not very much. As stated, restorers prize it but you’re talking 10s of pounds rather than 100s.

Not a bloody clue but some one sent me thins link
Bit of struggle - but I read it. Don’t really understand why you would give that more credence than the various experts that are winched into position for the MSM outlets.
I’m not convinced that the author knows the difference between rna and dna. But I won’t find out because google are “in on it”. Ok , if you say so.
I would also point out that this article states that the mRNA “disappears” after a few days but one of the previous links to claptrap stated that the synthetic rna is persistent. You know there are real problems when even the contrarian for click bait loonies can’t agree.

Not sure how good the 4 g coverage is up there !
I was thinking more a cash incentive, theres only 50,000 natives scratching a living , a few hundred grand a piece could easily sway any vote.
Plus , Trumps idea to 'buy' Greenland wasnt such a far fetched idea now was it, they pretty much did it with Alaska, pre goldrush .What Im getting at though , is the drive to be all environmental, whilst mining some of the most unspoilt land on the planet, possibly upsetting a key part of the global thermostatic ecosystem, flies in the face of ALL climate change advocates.
Grand hypocrisy.
Ah but we could set an anti technology group on Facebook and Instagram. Then film ourselves punching a plastic bag. You know - take action.

Hello, good for them, 👍
Well yes and no. Do we think it’s ok for the salt flats in chile to be destroyed but not ok to jostle some polar bears in Greenland? Where are the rare earth metals going to be mined in a world so committed to mobile devices?

Our county is going to be the first to have Moderna so I get that whacked in me next week. But apparently it stops the imune system tackling cancer cells or some thing.
I hate google lol.The information carrying molecule, messenger RNA, can instruct human cells ultimately in the same way as cancer drivers, playing a major role in causing cancer to thrive while inactivating natural tumor-suppressing proteins the human body creates to save you from cancer. This is the complete opposite of what the CDC and the vaccine manufactures are telling everyone right now about the Covid vaccines
Not sure where you get that from. What are “cancer drivers”? There are no “tumour suppressing proteins” unless you are referring to T cells but that’s not the same thing at all.
Damaged cells occur at the time in the body as a result of faulty replication and these are cleaned up by the immune/lymphatic system. Sometimes these cells cannot be cleaned up and reproduce in an uncontrolled manner becoming tumours.
Can you explain how rna suppresses the body’s defence again “rogue” cells?

Glad the wife is on the mend Steve. Got to say as some one who was wondering about having it in the first place it sounds bit scary. I had my letter last week and I am due for mine in two weeks. I thought the vaccine didn't actual contain the virus just some dna altering thing which sounds bad enough anyway
I’m interested to know whether you actually believe that.

Patients who have had covid seem to have a much stronger reaction to the vaccine. Any vaccine, not just AstraZeneca.

Most of instances you mention have metrics from which performance can be determined. What metrics are there for charities?
Idont believe the ceo of a charity needs anywhere near the acumen of (say) the ceo of Tesco’s.
Having said that, if people offer those salaries, you’d have to be a bit dim to say no. Same applies to footballers - what would you have them do, give some salary back?

How sad, I didn’t even know she was ill. Seems awfully young for someone seemingly so full of life.

How can the marksmanship of the police be called into question when 20 rounds were on target? Seems pretty good me - and I’m an expert with master prestige in call of duty; although I would have probably used an RPG.
