I saw the Saudis went from 5 to 15 percent yesterday.

Ouch. I wonder if there’s some level of offsetting the government are planning so they can clear the debt more quickly than other countries so we get off to a better start sooner.

Re: Coronavirus
So who had Bryan Adams down as the latest target for the Daily Mail & Twitter angry pitchfork-wielding mob?
I'm pretty sure he's vegan and doesn't actually mention any person/race, so I'm not entirely sure what the issue is here....

Re: Coronavirus
Good point. I wonder if we will have a short sharp rise in taxes and a delay or drop in some investments and budgets to pay for it quicker.Swervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:23 pmWell there won't be quite so many pensions to be paying out...Orange Cola wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:09 pm Ouch.

If he'd described then as haggis eating, kilt wearing sweary fuckers would you still think that?
Re: Coronavirus
Because there hasn’t been any confirmation of where the virus started and the bat eating/wet market thing has been a racist dog whistle for months

You forgot "Drug Addicted, Alcoholic"...
Re: Coronavirus
Is the bat eating/wet market/wildlife market thing really a racist dog whistle? Is it not more nuanced than that?
I might have got it wrong, but while we don't know the exact origin of the virus, it appears the initial outbreak occurred in China?
I guess the original tweet has gone... I guess I'm just amazed at who & what becomes the target for this sort of pile-on behaviour when I see what goes totally unchallenged and in some cases praised.

Re: Coronavirus
Yeah I’m not getting it. It started on China, didn’t realise saying that was racist.

Re: Coronavirus
Saying it started in China isn’t racist.
There’s no confirmation that it started at a wet market though. People have been using that imagery to suggest that it started in China because they’re dirty and that’s racist

Re: Coronavirus
I agree!
Zedleg, There’s nothing racist about sub-standard food markets, or calling them out for that matter. Saying it started in a wet market is the best and most plausible theory thus far, again, not racist.
