Great, thanks

Did you get your jab at a National hub or local GP surgery/centre?

Advice needed - had my first jab at start of June. Quite keen to get my second done ASAP, can I just book in myself beyond the 8 week mark (as the NHS site allows me to do) or do I need to wait to be called for my 2nd dose? Just there are events in late August/early Sept I’d like to get to that...

Not my intention to be contentious (didn't exactly see it as a contentious view to be honest, any more than "Highbury was known for being a bit of a library"), as made very clear by the point that I wasn't making a judgment on those who voted Remain for non-racist reasons. Seems a strange one...

Sorry. The "vast, vast majority". That do?

So you think a majority of people voting in the Brexit referendum who hold racist views voted Remain? I'd be surprised if you are correct, I think that's slightly far fetched personally. Not stupid, nor sneering at all. Plenty had reasons to vote Brexit that they saw as perfectly valid.

Don't misunderstand me - by and large I'm relatively agnostic in my stance on masks/covid in general. I try to take the centrist, balanced view and not go along with the hysteria at either extreme. I'm making a (perhaps shallow) judgment on the blokes I saw based on their demeanour. Similarly...

That was my thinking.

The two people I saw unmasked in Co-Op were 20-30 year old "hard" blokes. I'm guessing it's some sort of insecurity thing, like you can't be an "alpha" and wear a mask.

Popped into Co-op this morning - would say still about 85-90% mask wearing, slightly surprised it was so high.

We can agree on that at least. Yes healthy debate is good, but you do seem to lean towards catastrophising quite a lot, which isn't good for your mental health, nor others. That's all. Look after yourself.

There's so much misinformation/needless scaremongering in the second half of your post. What's the point of trying to scare the shit out of people over something that there's a decent chance won't happen? Genuine question - what is achieved? We've vaccinated near 80-90% of potential future...

Completely this. Everyone is obsessed with dates, it's all about metrics. Once they are met, easings will occur.

Doesn’t necessarily mean that at all. It’s all going to be based on vaccinations and subsequent hospitalisations and spread of virus.

I also don’t agree with fat shaming people. You’ve completely misunderstood my point from start to finish. Yes, for the best.

I still feel you’re intentionally missing my point. I’m clearly talking about the vast majority, not the minority. You seem to be trying to suggest I hold a viewpoint I’ve made clear numerous times I don’t hold. Not quite sure why?

If that's what happened then that's daft and cheap point scoring from Morgan.

As I said - obviously the rare exceptions suggest as yourself have my full sympathy. In the other 99%+ of cases, those who are overweight have chosen to eat badly and/or neglect exercise.

Let's be honest - the vast majority are the former. Obviously anyone who is overweight - even with a very healthy diet due to other factors outside of their control - has my complete sympathy. I remember seeing a study that suggested thyroid problems account for something like 0.3-0.5% of obesity.
