10 pointsSarah Vine tomorrow: "For once, she must focus only on herself." Sarah Vine last week: "Tell us what's going on!" Mind your own fucking business you talentless rent-a-quote. Amanda Platell can do one too.

6 pointsWishing her all the best, but this coverage is beyond sycophantic. No wonder these royals act like absolute weirdos when they have the likes of Sarah Vine & Richard Kay writing absolute crap like that.

6 points1. There were plans to include the HIV virus in the recipe for the vaccine, those plans never went through. Even if they did go through, it wouldn't mean anything. Vaccines are chemical compounds and just because HIV on its own is dangerous doesn't mean the overall compound would be. Take chlorine for example, on its own it will kill you and yet when it's diluted into water for swimming pools it is safe, that's just how chemistry works. 2. It is a fact that people have been injured by the Covid vaccine, however that's the same for all medicine. Penicillin is widely used but some people are allergic to it and will have negative reactions, the amount of people who have been actually injured by the vaccine is minute in comparison to the amount of people who took it. However there are many who have pretend to be injured by the vaccine and some who have believed conspiracy theories to the extent they have started to experience placebo symptoms, such as those videos that go viral on Facebook where people claim to be experiencing serious tremors as a result (claims that have been debunked and are quite easily disprovable). 3. The claim that the vaccine is directly linked to increased deaths is a theory, and not a scientifically backed one. It is true that since the pandemic there has been an increase in deaths due to heart problems and the like, but the vaccine is one of the less likely theories. The long term effects of the virus itself, the increased obesity rate (people didn't get much exercise during the pandemic) and the cost of living (and by extension eating health) are all things that are more likely than the vaccine. Correlation doesn't mean causation. 4. There are various different vaccines that require 'top ups', with the COVID vaccine, because it is so new the most effective preventative measure will take time to be found, and short term immunity is the best that can be got at this time. Also like other viruses (eg flu) Covid evolves and vaccines require updating in order to continue being effective. 5. The vaccine has saved people, my mum is in her late 50s and was vaccinated, she caught the virus a few months later and was sick, but not badly, despite having asthma. At the same time one of my mum's friends (same age, same lifestyle, same build, but not asthmatic) caught the virus, however she hadn't been vaccinated and as a result spent 2 weeks in intensive care on a breathing machine, and is by all accounts lucky to be alive. 6. I haven't seen statistics supporting or disproving what you've said about the correlation between vaccine uptake and deaths. However if I were to take an educated guess I'd argue that the countries with lower vaccine uptake are typically the poorer nations that lack the industrialisation of places like the US and the UK. As a result of that the virus would have a harder time spreading and consequently less people would have been infected and died. The infection rate was higher in the west and in more (densely) populated countries, which would support what I have just said. Again coloration doesn't equal causation. 7. The pandemic is primarily in the past, in my opinion, the vaccine has helped towards that. If you chose not the have the vaccine, that is your decision and as much as I think you are wrong, you shouldn't have to take it if you don't want to. I'm exposed to vaccine 'conspiracies' on a daily basis, it is something I've become quite used to countering and whilst I think scepticism is always a good thing, these sort of beliefs can lead to darker, more dangerous places (which is something I've witness firsthand), so whilst I don't necessarily expect you to support everything I've just written, I would advise caution when researching this subject.

5 pointsTimes death notice for Stanley Clayton, aged 104. This means there is now nobody born in 1919 and still alive listed on Who's Who, with just Geering and Milner living from 1910s births.

5 pointsShe is owed an apology but not from the public, Buckingham palace has handled this whole situation so poorly. The secrecy over her condition was fine at first but the lack of updates allowed speculation to become widespread, the mother's day photo was again their fault, that photo was released without proper checks and they blamed Kate for it (even if it was her that edited it, she didn't need to be named and shamed), which again allowed speculation to become widespread. Then when everything was going quiet instead of releasing anything official, they allowed her to be snapped by the press, again causing further speculation.

5 pointsForm studying opportunity last night, was close enough to get a good look at three bands with over 150 years of hard rockin' between them Uriah Heep - predictably professional and Mick Box (77 this summer) on impressive form, clearly loving every second of their short set. Saxon - or to be more precise Biff Byford (73) and Nigel Glockler (71), hard and fast for an hour. Byford is still in command of the stage and Glockler handled a kit with double bass drums impressively Judas Priest - specifically 72-year-old Rob Halford, hard rockin', stunning visuals but Halford (who's a recovering addict with a fondness for marching powder and alcohol behind him) did himself no favours following Byford. It was all a bit dad-dancing, wandering round in circles waving the mic, and a lot of forward leaning (assuming he was reading a monitor for the lyrics of more recent songs). Oh aye, and multiple changes of coat, jacket and shades (on and off) meant he vanished between most songs, my mate and I wondering whether the oxygen tank was stood next to the clothes rack. Not thinking he's close to death. Definitely wishing we'd seen them 15 years back.

5 pointsFortunately there's no expiration date on my verbal warning. Since he has kept up posting inane tweets after the verbal warning, it is now a proper week off and subsequent mod preview.

4 pointsMaybe it's trite to suggest that: in the week that the number of people who crossed the Channel in one day was almost twice the number of people the Government intend to send to Rwanda in the whole of next year; in the week that it was revealed that the Government's plan to house people in other than hotels would cost more than keeping them in hotels; in the week that it has been discovered that millions of pounds was thrown into Port Authorities by the Government and local authorities, those Port Authority and border control facilities are either mothballed or not being used to full capacity; this Government would rather talk about flags rather than their so-called flagship policies regarding immigration. Starmer should have said this was a matter for fans and the FA, while he got on with the job of sorting the absolute dumpster fire that the UK is fuelling with taxpayers' money. I'm sure the vast majority of folk are more worried about the above and all the other issues than a design on a footy shirt. And if they are not, then fuck the lot of them.
