Good resource of the actual numbers UK: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/ World: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ The UK death rate at the moment is 167 per million of the population. You can look at the figures of the other countries who handled this better and tested aggressively.

A lot of the language is "died with Covid-19" not of. It is really difficult to get an accurate figure so they are using all cases where the patient had Covid-19 present. It is always difficult to work out who would have have died with or without Covid-19 present in their body. Better analysis will come but we are still gathering the data. We are only 6 months in of world wide cases and less than ...

It was in the press in April and May https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1128570/brexit-news-article-50-extension-robin-tilbrook-theresa-may-high-court-case

Hopefully Network Rail and the council can sort something out and allow the events to continue and the cafe. It seems whenever something good happens in Dawlish someone finds a way to kill it!

There plenty of other people there who didn't think to stand up and grab this women but he did. There were other options but he thought that was ok.

@Lindaanne56 have you had a look at the BBC site people's war? It has stories people submitted about the War a while ago. The site is archived now but you can still look through the stories https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/categories/ and evacuation stories here https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/categories/c1162/ . There are stories from others who were evacuated to Dawlish. ...

Trump is not a scientist. We believe and trust science all the time until it is something that goes against our biases. Pulling out of Paris was about apeasing US businesses that didn't want to adhere to the rules as it may affect profits. Anyone who thinks climate change isn't happening or is natural and humans aren't the cause haven't been listening to the scientists. Good source of evidence ...

@Lynne Netflix cheapest offering is £5.99 a month. Amazon is £7.99 and Sky starts around £22 so roughly £71.88, £119.88 and £264 per year. I wouldn't say £155 is value for money.

Thanks @majorp - ok so pointing out the flawed religious dogma then?

It's a poor bunch of candidates which is why May lasted so long! Rory Stewart seems the best of them but he has no chance.

I'm still waiting to find an MP who truly does. Until we get a country that has a well-balanced mix of socialism and capitalism and whilst we allow politicians to have interests in companies that will benefit directly from legislation then we are far from where we should be. We have millionaires who fail at business and cause thousands of job losses but walk away still a millionaire whilst feeling ...

If you increase CO2 you start to lose nutrients over time, iron, zinc, protein. Also increasing CO2 for a short time in an enclosing environment is not the same as the environment. When increasing CO2 you would increase nutrients through fertilisers to increase nitrogen which works with CO2 to increase plant growth. Nitrogen isn't that abundant in the environment. Good resoure form climate change ...

It'll be good if those standing outside when the weather is good actually moved out the way when people are trying to walk past.

I say again we got into this mess because people elected some MEPs who never bothered to attend the European Parliament. Doing the same thing againand electing the BNP sorry Brexit Party candidates is just well stupid.

" And what if there is no party standing that represents your views?" you vote for the party that best aligns. Some parties are closer to your views than others so you vote them.

@majorp reminds me of ... "It doesn't matter who you vote for, the Government still get in"

Euro?

I think Corbyn has been known to talk rubbish. He has some very good ideas and then some really terrible ones. Basically, he's your typical MP :-D

@majorp a transperson having mental health problems is just as likely as a cisgender individual. That doesn't mean they correlate. Although a transperson may be more susceptible to having mental health issues due to societal pressures and constant discrimination for being who they are.

A breakwater would be better than just a bigger wall!

It's not pettiness. It would be interpreted the wrong way. Who in the US would know that Come On You Whites is a Fulham chant?

Corbyn is just stating that she has the right to legal aid, which she does if the legal aid agency decides she has the right. I believe she does, that doesn't mean I think we were wrong to not allow her back into Britain. We should support this whatever you think as we need to have a fair system for everyone.

If we had sent MEPs that actually went in the first place we wouldn't be in this mess

Any religious callers get the short answer "I'm an atheist", that usually gets them moving. Only had one say "have you read the bible?" to which I said "Yes that's why I'm an atheist" :-D Thanks for the heads up on the jewellery @Paul

development of mobile app/website - which site/app is this?

Gammon is not racist. It is an insult but not racist!

" problems we have with people who want to be something they are not" which people are these?

@Lynne it won't, I meant way way way way in the future ;-)

May quits so we'll get a new PM who we won't have a say in who it is. Is that democracy?

That is being used now due to roadworks in Kenton in the evening. Do many people use it? Maybe locals in the summer but is it that big of a problem? How will it be policed (suspect it won't)?

We pay in for the benefits and we get funding back out. Why haven't the Government come out and said they will fund everything that is currently funded? If we pay in more than we get out then surely that would be an easy commitment and would alleviate some of the fear?

If only we had real leaders ... the Government have made a complete mess of it as they didn't have any plan and just thought the EU would say yes to everything "because we are so important" but turns out that isn't the case. At least we'll have blue passports (made in the EU)!

No, because if they work more they would need to pay for more childcare which would mean they would be worse off. Also if you work 20 hours a week you lose more money from benefits than you would get by earning for those additional 4 hours. It's not for a lack of wanting.

May left it to the last minute (actually way after the last minute) to offer to speak to Corbyn and others and said she would only speak to people individually. I would rather remain but if we actually want to do a deal we need everyone around a table including the EU to thrash out a deal. They seem to f***ing about again and not doing anything! We'll go to the EU with a slightly amended offer and ...

I think Dawlish is better when it isn't the peak season, very quiet.

But they won't do these jobs, the same reason why farms need EU migrants because they will work hard for minimum wage.

Yes, I think so!

There never has been anything for teenagers to do and if there is something it costs too much. Teenagers hang around, its what they do, I did. If they are causing problems then that is a different issue but if they are just sitting around, chatting and laughing what is the problem? Most parents are happy their kids are in their rooms playing on games as they know where there are then.

Nothing that I knew of but I think it's a common standard redundancy agreement when you get a payoff.

@DEEDOODLE they said that maybe the case on the local news this morning :-(
