Erm, Rooney was never 'warmly' regarded at Birmingham. We knew him for what he was - a celebrity show pony and useless manager. We were well rid of him, but not before his incompetence got us relegated. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Yes, yes, very lawdable, but unattainable until you reject Thatcherism, realise the economy is a 'means' and not an 'end', and show vision and courage in making the necessary changes. No evidence so far he has the cajones for this! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Yes, some VCs haven't made the smartest decisions, but it was Tory neoliberals that made knowledge a commodity, and forced Universities to become knowledge businesses. They then undermined them. These deficits are the result. Mindless vandalism on a genuinely workd-leading sector.

The only way to do a proper study is for the police to randomly stop motorists for testing, then you can estimate false +ves and -ves. Without doing this, the 'trial' is nonsense.
020
Ken Norris @drunkennorris.bsky.social · 16/12/2024
Not only will there be lots of false positives, but the 'trial' will be totally unable to estimate the false negative rate. This is a monumetal flaw in the study design. The data generated are pretty useless other than to say x% of people we stopped tested +ve. So what?
