More bluster from Hancock.

Constant talk of ramping up testing and increased PPE yet nothing to show for it.

Talking about how much capacity we've got to make more PPE. Great, we might finally have enough just in time for when this virus hit six weeks ago.

Althoough this lockdown is making time distort it does seem like they've been talking about ramping up testing and PPE for weeks. When do we stop talking about it and actually do it?

It does feel like we are in a Samuel Beckett play.


Coventrian will not understand that

They need to take back control first

It is his family home

He won’t be going back to London then. Surely he can work from home, afterall isn’t that what they’re getting an extra £10K in expenses for.

They’ve had one of them in Cahir for years now.

He keeps talking about the TV ratings for his daily Coronavirus news conferences like it’s important and solely down to him being on. Maybe it’s because his approval rating is falling like a stone so he can’t talk about that. A complete narcissist.

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

He was correct about banning Chinese flights straight away though unlike us.Big mistake imo

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

Steve Hedley needs to retract his comment to,All the privileged freebies he gets,He needs sacking and forced to apologise in person to Boris along with that labour mayoress in Derbyshire.
Fcuking disgrace!!
I thought we were all in this together???
No matter what political preference!!

 

[Ring Of Steel]

We are unfortunately still some way away from the peak

It was a publicity stunt. The virus was already in the country weeks before when he was declaring the virus as the democrats new hoax. It was a classic case of locking the stable door after the horse had bolted.

who is Steve Hedley?

The other thing peeing me off is the weekly NHS clap by people who are not helping the situation much at all.

Across the road, there is a family of three. However, over the past week or so, lots of people have been in and out the house. Woman with a child, daughter's boyfriend, another bloke (guessing may be the girl's dad), the girl's boyfriend, the son who doesn't live at home.

Been several people in and out and the son is full on gobbing on the pavement too.

Guess who in our street was clapping the loudest last night and cheering and banging saucepans with spoons?

Yup.

Cheering the NHS whilst igoring the advice, which could result in the loss of lives and more exposure by NHS staff trying to treat this thing.

Grrrr

Yes Otis it's the same in the supermarkets, if you say anything about social distancing ( 2 meters) you get a load of verbal abuse.


What a wonderful world we live in.

RMT second in command

Well that’s not true and anyway assume you want the motor car banned

 

[Ring Of Steel]

I see. So would now be an appropriate time to point out that Dominic Cummings said that if a few old people die but the economy is saved then ‘so be it’, and that quite a few people on the other political side have said something similar?

Or could it be that the whole country is divided, sick and political belief is put before any kind of decency, and politics is now becoming a religion, a cult, where we are all monstrously outraged at the things people say... long as they’re said by people on the other team?

I’ll leave you to sort out which and who is worse, perhaps soon enough you’ll see that you’re all as fucking bad as each other.

 

[PVA]

What? Because people die from car accidents, is that what you're saying?

 

[skybluetony176]

What’s the numbers then?

 

[Grendel]

Im saying these deaths are not deliberate acts of murder so if you remove the cause you’d save more deaths if you banned vehicles

What I’m really aghast at is the absurd terrorist comment. Acts of terrorist over 50 years have resulted in even by the most generous view 4,000 deaths - all wilful acts of murder and by your own words anyone who supported such despicable actions really had “blood on their hands” - so at least this Prime minister did not believe the bombs snd the bullets mantra

Show me where this fool arrived at his deaths by terrorist calculation will you?

More died of Spanish flu than WW1 it’s an absurd statement

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Im an argumentative prick but some of you are taking it to a next level.

Chill the fuck out and back away from the internet for a couple of days!

The terrorism aspect was not the main reason for me posting it.

The point is they are claiming it's a Good Friday despite almost two thousand people dying in two days. It's incredibly crass and insensitive.

And regarding road deaths, more people have died in the last two days from Corona than in the last year from road accidents so not sure what your point is there.

I don’t agree with anyone saying I hope they die and I’ll be having a party is so wrong though don’t you agree? Politics aside?

The on road deaths was it was an abstract mode of death rather than an intentional one? Also globally it’s much worse and there is the deaths through pollution m

Good Friday and an absolute lie about terrorist deaths - why I wonder?

Again you see a twitter account with an utter lie and you post in on here. Why?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

In amongst the general shite of the last couple of weeks, the leader of the country starting to recover is indeed good news.

We can overread all this in the interests of making a political point.

If you think almost a thousand people dying in a day is a good day then that's up to you.

It is. And of course that doesn't mean you can't be sad for people who die, it's not an either / or.

But among the constant flow of horribleness, it's good to have something positive.

And however much I may think Johnson is not the leader I'd want in a crisis, however much despair I may have felt at him getting elected, a power vacuum with no leader at all at this stage would be horrendous for the country.

The RMT are not an affiliated union.

I once had a photo taken with Kylie when I was young. Doesn't make me a minogue.
