Quote from: Bentley Bullet on April 10, 2020, 12:27:19 pmCorrect, Hound, although I believe his house is in Somerset. Maybe Wilts will inform us of the truth.I believe the farm crosses the Somerset/Devon border BB - you can find out where it is if you google it, I wouldn't be so foolish as to publish someones home address on here. Very nice part of the world tho.He was in London on 17th March as he was in a tv studio saying he would keep going to the pub. This of course being the day after his son has said not to go to the pub and not to travel unless it was essential.When asked he refused to say when exactly he traveled to Exmoor.

Well he can do one then.
Back to the virus, and the extent of under reporting is disturbing;https://twitter.com/ChrisGiles_/status/1247458186300456960The media need to start reflecting this much more in their coverage.
Metal Micky,Yes....which comment are you talking about?Giles is an FT Economist, not a health or epidemiological expert.No, the media coverage is confused and misleading.Often a story is a rapid response to new data release without context, and so is likely to mislead folk who do not understand the gaps in the data.
According to his website he:lives in Southwell near Newark (his constituency) and in London.https://robertjenrick.com/about-robert/His contact information on the Parliament website is Southwell.https://members.parliament.uk/member/4320/contactI can't see any reference to the £1.2mill Grade 1 listed 17th century manor in Herefordshire although it sounds very nice.I do know he claims £2k per month for the house in Southwell but I am not sure which of the London properties he resides in, the £3 mill Westminster townhouse or the £2 mill Marleybone flat, but it does seems his main home is the one he is not living in.I can't see any reference to the Grade 1 listed 17th century manor in Herefordshire
He only rents the "property" in Southwell so the above statement "I do know he claims £2k per month for the house in Southwell " is presumably terminology for renting ?

That is correct. He claims £2000 per month from Parliamentary Expenses for the property in the constituency he represents, which he states on his website is where he lives, and is currently not living in.Presumably he will still be claiming this rent on Parliamentary Expenses whilst still not living in the property throughout the duration of the lockdown?https://www.mpsexpenses.info/#!/mp/669
I’m just waiting for someone to discredit that post selby and ask you the name of the virologist.
Recorded deaths for the last 24hrs823 = England47 = Scotland15 = NIStill a high number but hopefully it’s starting to level off.
Wilts, people can’t just decide not to pay their rent if they are not in a property for a while and then start paying it when they go back later.

Trust me, you have to be able to handle these things and challenge your own dissonances or you won't get far. And you can't have paranoia that if you post one piece of evidence someone will reply with something different. That's how it has to work.Science is a beautiful thing - its basically one of the only things we have as the world falls on its arse. But some bad practices are going on, such as people picking one scientist's views and basing their opinions on just that one voice, or using that one voice to reinforce their own assumptions. (latter comment not aimed at anyone on here).

We know there is a dip below trend in reported deaths over the weekend. We'll not really know if we are at the peak until we get well past the weekend and see if we get numbers on Tues-Thurs that have stabilised or started to fall.
