In other news: Ghislaine Maxwell found guilty! How the hell did that happen? She'd spent a fortune on her defence which is usually a guaranteed 'not guilty' in the USA. Maybe her lawyers are hanging in there for the big payoff when it goes to appeal.
Given her little black book probably has some of the same names as her chum Epstein had in his it's going to be embarrassing if they put her in the same situation as him and she has to 'commit suicide' too.
I'm guessing the juror's names aren't in her little black book.

Maxwell's little black book is probably insignificant when compared to what was found when Epstein's Manhattan house was raided - a large number of disk drives and CDs were discovered in plastic boxes and a safe. There'll be shedloads of dodgy stuff on those drives which I guess will take a very long time to work through.

Insurance rules are changing...it will be unlawful to charge existing customers more than a new customer would get. Itll be interesting to see if this actually makes stuff cheaper. I look forward to receiving my billions.
The FCA said the move would save loyal customers £4.2bn over 10 years.

I'm also wondering if now they have a conviction they will stop there and sweep it under the carpet.
Presumably the prosecution didn't call Virginia Giuffre because she would be a liability to their case. It seems odd that none of the witnesses implicated any of Epstein's friends in underage sex but one clearly said Giuffre was a recruiter of underage girls for Epstein
Ministers have been tasked with developing "robust contingency plans" for workplace absences, as the government warned rising cases could see up to a quarter of staff off work.
Public sector leaders have been asked to prepare for "worst case scenarios" of 10%, 20% and 25% absence rates, the Cabinet Office said.
The UK has seen record numbers of daily cases over the festive period.
Bozo's government failing yet again. Seriously how long can this idiot cling on?
Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.

Given that LF tests are unavailable and PCRs are apparently almost all, if not fully, booked, you have to wonder what the number of infections actually is.
It's almost as if Bozo has hit on the idea of the longer that he can keep covid rife in the community, and the subsequent disruption to the economy, the longer he can kid the country that the economic woes are due to covid and not the utter disaster that is brexit.
Maybe he's not quite as stupid as I thought he was.
But - he still has to work out a way out of the utter shambles he's created.

Once you make it obvious you hate someone and call them childish names, your opinions become bollox.

I thought the quoted figures are based on statistical samples, ie the ONS routinely test a large, statistically representative population, and extrapolate. Rather than expecting people to report positive tests. I expect the ONS have a secure supply of kits.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition.
But certainty is an absurd one.

What should the government have done then, shut business down completely so they don't have a problem with people's being off sick? Or would it be better to bin testing altogether so people can't use it as an excuse not to go to work?

I wouldn't put it past him.

I keep hearing this, yet for the past 12+ months we've had a box drop through the letter box regular as clockwork, ordered weekly on the NHS website to arrive 2 days later, there are 3 boxes sitting in the bathroom right this very minute.
Daughter goes back to Uni next week, so ordered herself a box, and has been received, Uni also inform her that they have ample supplies for students to collect when they go back in.

If you took away the global chipset shortages, the rise in oil prices, the supply chain shortages caused by reduced manufacturing days globally, the resultant rise in the cost of most raw materials, I think you can lay the blame for everything else that is annoying you, squarely at the door of Brexit.

Come on then, safety catches off, let rip with it, let's have a proper "Boris is out to kill me" circle jerk, let's have all the stories of mass-shortages and government conspiracies to kill everyone, Brexit ate my baby and we're all doomed.
Petrol shortage and all the LF kits brexited away - quick, panic, the end is nigh
"While many things remain uncertain and the coinciding of Brexit with the Covid pandemic continues to make any clear assessment of Brexit itself more difficult, some things seem to make little doubt.
there are few Brexiters who claim that Brexit has been an unmitigated economic success. Even pro-Brexit economists, such as Julian Jessop, now admit that “[t]here’s not a lot of doubt that the things you can measure have been negative.” "
