OMG now i am being miss quoted, you do realize that is illegal, to put my name against something i did not say is just plain wrong!

Took me 2 minutes to debunk that Mailchimp email.

Owen Paterson Conservative member, was bound to say this, he is Boris's buddy


Are you a Conservative in disguise?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Paterson

You seem to have spent those 2 minutes making a fool of yourself ! The flood of misinformation from internet warriors who know more from a few YouTube videos than the combined knowledge of the world's epidimiologists is staggering. If my family member had died 'with' covid from clearly respiratory issues whilst suffering from a chronic unrelated problem I know what I would consider to have killed them.

This pandemic has been awful for lots of people whether suffering healthwise or economically. Idiots like you trying to point-scrore for some agenda doesn't help. Politicians and scientists have on the whole done their best to deal with this and without the worldwide effort it would have been a lot more damaging. Thankfully it seems to be coming to an end.

Thanks for the useful link Banjo.

It's a problem with the site quote facility. I just had to correct my post.

Edit: and you're even more of an idiot now !

Check #1867 - you did exactly the same.

You posted Banjo's words as yours!

You obviously haven't read it

'The information from the ONS is indisputable.'

The ONS has called the use of this figure “highly misleading,”

We must have conspiracy theories. For some reason, whether because of intellectual deficiencies, numerical illiteracy, political ideology, or belief in a weird god there are those who want to misunderstand and don't want to fully comprehend.

According to the ONS as of yesterday only 17,500 have died FROM covid in the UK since the start, with a big portion of those being over 65, maybe this is why Boris was not afraid to have his parties.

For the sake of clarity and truth -

First item of interest is that the link cites the name Tony. Anyone using mailchimp might want to check what details it releases when creating a link if I've understood this correctly.

Given that Boris was shown as being quite ill with Covid and needed a ventilator plus missed time doing his job it is somewhat surprising that he has such a low respect of the disease. It's like it has made his brain more gung-ho instead of more appreciative of the damage he should have seen.

Now to the statistics - https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/trans...volvingcovid19 gives some clear explanations and they are not always as the layman might interpret. This is not uncommon is specialist activities but it would have been nicer to have the clarity all along, though no doubt there was no intention to hide it.

Quite why folk are still looking for a conspiracy angle instead of a fuller understanding is baffling. But the figures really are to aid management and government not Joe Public. And I guess it is the first time such figures have had to be presented widely and if deeper explanations were given I've missed them, and I don't recall the journalists paying much attention to them at the briefings. But then it's pretty dry stuff unless trying to cook up a conspiracy.

Let's hope Meatloaf, supposedly another anti-vaxxer, can now knock the hell out of those bats that are supposed to have started this whole thing.

The site quote facility works fine, these misquotes happen when someone accidentally deletes the square bracket at the end of the quoted passage. The misquoting then continues until someone fixes it like you did.

Swale can go back and sort things, but he'll have his work cut out on this thread!

Elite, the problem is Banjo originally posted those words #1886, where as i did not post what MM said at all, and there lies the difference.

It's been done by many people on this thread, but all accidental and nothing to get worked up about.

It really is as simple as the inadvertent deletion of a square bracket!
