MawBe I think Beverley10 was agreeing with you.
That’s the way I took it as she then laughed at biba’s premis about no-one being able to travel abroad.
Although in fairness, biba then clarified she meant more for work than leisure.

My goodness, this thread is Groundhog Day isn’t it?

I’m going to see if I can find some wet paint and watch it dry...

Gagajo
Really!

The DM has certainly got some people exercised!

Perhaps the Vaccine 10 had done a lot of research as the vaccines do work differently.
Storms and teacups comes to mind.

Do we have to write down our voting preferences before we can receive the vaccine? It's against my Human Rights.

Right, thanks Urmstongran it doesn’t take much to confuse me especially on a thread like this!
Sorry Beverly10 for being grumpy!

beverly10 Sat 09-Jan-21 21:07:33

Sorry
Blue?

beverly10 Sat 09-Jan-21 21:09:37

No problem, Maw.

I can't read the DM Callistemon. It enrages me too much.

janeainsworth Sat 09-Jan-21 21:14:52

Gagajo no need to waste your sympathy on me, thank you.
Someone expressing a preference for a vaccine which was developed in a joint British-Swedish project does not, to my mind, demonstrate. ‘Little Britain’ mentality, whatever that is.
I like to look at things as scientifically as possible.
Unless each of those 10 people had been specifically questioned as to how they voted in the referendum, it is not possible to draw any conclusions as to how they might have voted.

It is pure speculation on the part of Biba’s friend, if we are to believe that is where the thread title came from.

GagaJo Sat 09-Jan-21 21:16:18

Nothing scientific about your explanation jane. But by all means pontificate away.

Remember the donkey Chewbacca? It’s still missing some bits.....

janeainsworth Sat 09-Jan-21 21:20:57

Gagajo Nothing scientific about your explanation jane.

Prove to me that those 10 people voted for Brexit, then.
Why should I just accept what you say without proof, or evidence?

Callistemon Sat 09-Jan-21 21:24:07

None of the allegations are substantiated by any evidence.
They are supposition, assumptions only.

That's a shame GagaJo because, as was very articulately pointed out further upthread All forms of media have their bias and faults, and its good to be aware of it, but dismissing things because they appear in a particular source is worrying. And I think that's a much more mature and open minded way of looking at any media.

Callistemon Sat 09-Jan-21 21:36:42

But, Chewbacca, the thread was started because someone was enraged by an article in the DM.

Gagajo has defended the OP but has said that the DM enraged her so she never reads it.
How can anyone defend what one considers the indefensible?
confused

Where's Chris Rea when you need him?

Callistemon Sat 09-Jan-21 22:10:25

Actually, do you mind awfully waiting until after you've had the vaccine?

It’s ok I am heading east ??
