But what happens in the long term? Like crash diets, do people put the weight back on after they stop taking the medication?
Genuine questions, as I think these articles focus on the short-term benefits (though I appreciate that is justified many times).
Not disagreeing, just curious.

Private criminal prosecution can be made.

Criminal.

Yes. Stephen Lawrence's family brought one after the CPS dropped theirs. It failed, and the double jeopardy principle (since dropped retrospectively) caused problems.

Let's face it, it's not a hill to die on.

Anecdotal evidence. Meanwhile, real world statistics provide hard evidence that older people suffered disproportionately.

So, the younger people who flouted the regulations and spread the disease get rewarded? What about the "entitled elders" who contracted Covid and died or suffered in disproportionately high numbers?

Nope. Before the 1980s, they were pretty unknown in breakfasts. Little Chef menus from the 1970s and 1960s don't include them.

Baked beans got there first. An earlier American import.

The Arc de Triomphe was a bit of a giveaway.

"Splitters!"
The hard left is, once again, embroiled in conflict. With each other.
Corbyn should retire.

His problem is that he wants to be in opposition, not in power, and won't compromise for the greater good.

A children's series of movies, I think.

Do they do a cream tea with scones instead (pronounced scons)?

In other words, "I'm more virtuous than you are".

Something about pork sausages too.

I think Trump is working on it.

Thus, the gender disparity in exam results!

I've given this response elsewhere...
I left Twitter/X because I realised that arguing with total strangers changes nothing and just leads to unhappiness. You just end up feeding the trolls. Starve them of attention.

He just put that in to get the rise out of people. And it worked. The best response is no response.

You don't think he was just using his anonymity to get the rise out of people in that last bit? The fact that it was a confession is an admission that he knows he was wrong.

Folks- this is a confession. Criticising the poster for doing something of which you disapprove is pointless- the whole point of it is that it is a confession!

A juggling spreadsheet editor? I'd pay extra for that.

After you die, in your next life, sadly.
