Eh 1500 deaths and counting after 2 months and it would have been a hell of a lot worse had there not been a 2 month lockdown you fool.  Yeah it was all blown out of proportion alright. 

For deaths per million of population we aren't doing well.  But yeah I have egg on my face.

That you're not a racist simpleton. 

Maybe there is something blatantly obvious that I am missing but for the life of me I can't understand how one group of multi millionaires would be more at risk as a result of going to work than another group of multi millionaires in the same industry unless different ethnicities are genetically more vulnerable to the virus, which doesn't seem to be the case. From my understanding greater risk seems to stem from entirely socio-economic factors.

Are black and asian people in Britain more likely to live in densely populated urban areas or work in occupations which are more at risk of catching covid?

I don't understand how people are drawing the conclusion that this puts black and asian football players more at risk? Probably numerically illiterate journalists or commentators not understanding figures.

how did you get on TR 

It got curtailed during the trip. Had just started the US leg of the trip when they announced all travel cancelled. 
Finished what I was doing in US but then went straight home had to skip Mexico, Brazil and uk and head straight home. (Panama was 5th country but was only passing through there)

Both seem to be the case from what I've read.

Actually work that the ONS carried out suggests when you take into account things like age, socio-economics class, region, self-reported health there's still a higher prevalence.

So there's still some unexplained reason why it's morw prevalent.

Actually it doesn't look like they tried to adjust for occupations

He is nowhere near likeable. The things he has done are abhorrent. He is merely showing that, on occasion, he can be a capable journalist. The last time he showed it was Iraq! He has still shown his pettiness during the past week alone.

I mentioned this yesterday and the 60K figure is only up to 11th May . Maybe it might enter the mainstream if Morgan brings it up as it is a damning figure on the UK however Capt Tom is getting a knighthood so all is well ……..

Funny how BBC, ITV, Sky etc aren't all following up with what Piers is saying. 

It's a remarkable turnaround from the man, from 1 of the most hated in the country to being the man who's not frightened to say how it is and gone mainstream and has gone absolutely relentless on the anti-Tory agenda (and Trump)
The main headline as seen on the video he's itching for a verbal scrap.

I don't know how long he can keep up this new gimmick but he's doing a good job of it so far. The Redeemer Clap

As much as I hate to be pedantic...  He would be redeemed and not the Redeemer; unless you have massively misunderstood christianity too!
