A leaf out of your playbook - How can you possibly know about Hungary or Poland? You don't live there!

The trouble is that you dismiss all (adverse) reports posted by others, about India - usually with the "you don't live there or have relatives there" while promoting other material that suits your agenda. One rule for you, one for the rest of. Intellectually dishonest.

Expatrick ----I could write pages of adverse things about India!!! ( don't have an "agenda").

However I do know when various press reports are biased, wrong or just local and not generalised as reported. I do know the negativity of data gathering by various political groups.

(I could write after 'hours' today of trying to correct some recorded details and information, trying to phone, trying on-line that---------
ALL blo**y Indian banks are useless!
!!
However I know that that would be biased---there must be some that are OK!!!!)

In my last post I asked you to correct any false Ideas that I have about the relationships of Hungary and Poland with the EU. I am GENUINELY INTERESTED!!!!
EU law is one of my past studies------Why did you not reply?????

Nothing to reply to. Besides, sticking to your debating rules, I have no interest in your "ideas", because you don't live here. As I said before YOUR RULES!

ETA: Apologies to Millhouse for hijacking your thread. Back to topic!

I didn't raise the topic of the EU!
So what I read regarding EPP in speeches and news reports (not ideas) is true then?? If not reply on TIO or PM ----No I don't live in Hungary that is why I asked you your opinion.
As I said I would really like to know!!
Just as I would expect you to ask my opinion regarding press reports about India.

Some latest news regarding virus.

All good. Any chance to see the inner workings of Bipats mind is welcome.

And I use the word workings loosely.

Poll is… what will be the total Corona deaths we report before we give up reporting/ caring:



1. <50,000

2. 50,000- 100,000

3. 100,000 – 250,000

4. 250,000 – 500,000

5. 500,000 – 1m

6. 1m +

[I voted for 100-250k] ... less than the Syrian War.
I think you need to account for inflation add another 2 zeros to each number.

Covid is being relegated to where it should be: a side note alongside the flu.
So, 4 weeks, later, 3 of the top 6 stories on the BBC's news we site are coronavirus related, with no coverage of BLM protests anywhere near the top, and top story on both the UK and North America tabs are coronavirus related, with only a couple of BLM back ground stories (not real-time news) on the North America tab, such as about a pioneering black NASCAR driver from the 1960's who died in 1990, and a separate feature section well down the page headed "Race in America", again of background stories.

On cnn.com ALL the stories in the top left corner of the page are coromavirus related. .... Foxnews on the other hand is all over the place, with no focus in anyone area of the news, but is leading with a story about Epstein's girlfriend.

So, in conclusion, except for Fox, covid is not yet relegated to a side note.

That's perhaps the scariest scenario right now, given that countries and people are tired of lock-downs and restrictions, that either a dangerous flu, or other disease/ plague with higher mortality rate than covid-19, takes off in the next few months, and people refuse to take it seriously.

No, but that people will think that if something else comes along soon, no matter how serious, it will just confirm their conspiracy theories, and they will entirely reject the advice to stay home and refuse to take any precautions.
