Jeff Bezos making a ton of money isn’t proof that he’s in on the world wide conspiracy to tank the worlds economy and cull the population. He’s just ideally placed to profit from it. One of the central failings of conspiracy theories is, often, to mistake cause for effect. That Bezos can profit it from it doesn't mean he was responsible for it. That the US were able to use 9/11 as justification for their continued programme of regime change and back-door imperialism in the Middle East doesn't mean that they coordinated it to that end, just that they were able to capitalise on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it certainly has come full circle in Bournemouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth's my home town but I'm pretty out of the loop these days and I can't see anything I'd directly relate to your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted October 25, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 25, 2020 I was walking through Hammersmith on Friday night on my way home, every pub I walked past was fairly packed with loads of groups of six, no fucking chance any of them lived together in the same household but I'm guessing their pretending to be roommates or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was more a reference to some pubs actively advertising to book a table under the guise of a “business meeting”, then you’re able to socialise with people outside of your household.

Pogue Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The Guardian are reporting 60000 UK deaths from Covid 19, anywhere I look it says 45000, anyone know where The Guardian's figures are coming from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaths within 28 days of a positive test is more like 45,000. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ Considering how long Covid can take to kill people, the 28 days thing feels like an attempt to downplay things. I do get the issues around counting people who would have died in that time period anyway, but still, my understanding is that not many countries are doing this.
