OpinioN8 for Hornsey and Crouch End

* Decaying

* On its way out

* OpinioN8 will soon be no more

* But the rent is paid up till Nov 2nd 2021 so if you have a twinge of nostalgia for anything here you have a chance to revisit/ download it

* And I have downloaded the entire site (at least the software tells me I have) so I might be able to salvage pages from the back up should you wish me to.

For now there is a lengthy debate on HoL regarding the renaming of Black Boy Lane which encompasses a broad range of views.

And OpinioN8 fully embraces the National Lockdown Nov 2020), with only the following reservations:

It was based on flawed and out of date 'scenarios'
The scientists whom we are supposed to be following predicted "a catastrophic loss of life" - this is not a scientific judgement. It has tinges of the moral, philosophical and political. A scientific judgment would offer a number and a confidence interval and let others choose adjectives
The tier system had begun to work
The saving of lives and the continuance of the NHS is offered on one side of the ledger as a benefit. No attempt is made to quantify the costs.
