There’s me thinking it was old GMK patrons....it’s all a bit ‘Topsy Turvy, What?’
There’s me thinking it was old GMK patrons....it’s all a bit ‘Topsy Turvy, What?’Also as this forum now seems to have become a small band of left wing frothers venting their spleen perhaps one of you can explain the labour policy on politicians pay
The Blair government voted several times for inflation busting pay rises and then an independent body was set up
In 2015 it suggested a £7,000 pay rise in austerity Britain for MPs
Many labour MPs said it sent out a wrong message. The SNP MPs gave the pay rise to charity. However, despite the indignation I do not think any Labour MP did the same or indeed in 2017 when the rise was around 3% - there may be some but I can’t find any
Don’t disagree Moff. Didn’t that go disappointingly wellMany good points in your post Tony and I don’t disagree.
I think all governments do some good but also fuck up over time. for personal reasons I have a distinct lack of faith and trust in all sides!
But people are talking about Boris. They'll say get well soon to make sure we know they're a good guy and then caveat it with a list of reasons why they don't like him, its crass at best.Actually that’s exactly the right time and I’m not talking about Boris either. When people started contracting it and dying the government belatedly changed tact. If we shouldn’t do what you say we’d still be on the herd immunity path killing thousands needlessly. It’s more crucial than ever to bring up errors, anything less is neglectful and who is currently seriously ill is irrelevant.
What's your point?
I don't know how most of them have performed apart from those 3 and Spain, France, Begium, Italy and the Netherlands to be honest.
But again, it's deflection, I'm pointing out where our government, the one I pay my taxes to has fucked up. I'm sure the citizens of those countries will do the same.
You haven't answered any of my question.
Doing the right thing is bad now?But people are talking about Boris. They'll say get well soon to make sure we know they're a good guy and then caveat it with a list of reasons why they don't like him, its crass at best.
Surely it's best just to leave it for a couple of days? I can assure you, no government advisors are looking into this forum to see what we think the next move should be.

What's the right thing? Chatting shit on a football forum?Doing the right thing is bad now?
Would be a good read tbfNo, but 'Coventry Live' might do an article:
'5 things Sky Blues Talk think about government strategies.'
Europe is a bit of a clusterfuck all round as far as I can tell. East Asia they’ve done it correctly by the looks of things but they have experience from SARS etc. Hopefully we learn the lessons and prepare our health service for every eventuality after this.I totally get your point and you're absolutely right in what you said in your post there.
That being said, what's strange is a lot of my friends around Europe are pointing and laughing at us. They seem to be being told that we are a bit of an embarrassment in how we handled it. I don't really get it as most other countries have behaved quite similar to us, and Sweden for example is a category worse. They don't seem to get any stick though.

And just leaving it there? That's absolutely fine.No stating you hope a fellow human being gets better.
What, so because someone is poorly nobody is allowed to comment on any mistakes that person might have made in their political career? The career that they chose, knowing full well they would be the target for criticism should things not work out perfectly.Ok, so you don't understand. It's in very poor taste.

I’d like to say help. The NHS will change as a result of this current crisis. As with all jobs, people are doing things they would not do. One thing for certain, Labour would pour money in...Would Labour's policy of investing in the NHS have helped or hindered the efforts?

Is the logical extension of that, should he die (and let’s all agree nobody wants anyone to die, c**t or not) that we cannot comment on any of it because it would then be in poor taste? Sorry, bullshit reasoning. He’s in hospital, nobody wants him to die. He’s not immune to criticism (or Covid 19 apparently) and nor are his decisions and / or policies.
Personally I hope it provides him with a genuine insight into the shit that NHS staff have to wade through on a daily basis, and I hope he sees the real version, not the sanitised media friendly photo opportunity version he usually sees when visiting hospitals and pretending to be ‘the party of the NHS’ (and yes, they did say that).
We best hope Germany still has some space for us given we have less ICU beds per 1000 than both France and Italy. I’m sure that’s the point you’re making.
Calling someone whos, if rumours are to believed, life is in the balance a c**t just because you don't agree with his politics really does nothing for you cause I'm afraid.What, so because someone is poorly nobody is allowed to comment on any mistakes that person might have made in their political career?

Oh dear.
Boris, Doris over the road, it’s irrelevant who it is. Heavens forbid but if Boris needs a ventilator and there isn’t one available are you saying we shouldn’t criticise his government for failing a Coronavirus patient? It’s not crass if it’s relevant. To say he has shit hair would be crass as it’s irrelevant. A lack of ventilators and PPE is very relevant so in no way could be crass.But people are talking about Boris.

Yeah we've increased capacity massivelyFill the Nightingale hospitals first before we talking sending people anywhere else.

Then other exhibition halls or even concourses in stadia...providing they are heated and sealed off from the elements.Yeah we've increased capacity massively
Except I didn't. Its quite clear.Oh come on- stop twisting his words.
That’s before you even consider bringing Jo Cox into it.What are you even trying to say?
You said no-one wanted Corbyn to die when someone literally carried out an attack on an event he was hoping Corbyn was at in an attempt to kill him. Once again proven that all you do is chat utter shit and ignore everything that doesn't support your own agenda. I'm sure you'll bring up some obscure thing that a Labour politician did in the 1951 to argue that it's all Labour's fault that this bloke carried out said attack. Political point scoring at this time in disgusting unless you're the one doing it I'm sure.
Kind of resenting the lefty generalisations here...The left always scream death to Tory leaders - same with thatcher and even many of them towards Blair - drag to to The Hague and out him in prison - some are now suggesting a national holiday to celebrate Johnson’s death
The left are always going to act like this as they are always in the minority and always show their true colours in times like this
Let's hope that filters down then. Has to really, I'm not even worried anymore.Uefa president says there is no way Liverpool won't be crowned champions, one way or the other
I'm kind of in that mindset whilst always remembering we are Cov, and bad stuff happens to usLet's hope that filters down then. Has to really, I'm not even worried anymore.
