No. You have been caught out again. So now the bullshit starts.

Lol everyone else who was talking to him on that subject (except one) knows exactly who I am - they all follow me!

Question for the story boys on here.

At what stage do you accept the lack of ppe is a national scandal

The whole approach by our govt from day one was a national scandal, aside from USA the biggest catalogue of fuckups of any affected country on the planet. The only thing they got right was to keep Priti Patel out the way.

Oh sorry I forgot- she’s busy working out how to deport people while they’re working to try and save thousands of people.

Come on. It’s not like NHS staff are dying. Oh wait...

I’d say we’ve passed that point and the Tories know it, hence the blaming of NHS staff.

And their propaganda is already working, I've seen quite a few mentions recently on social media of people blaming NHS management for not having enough PPE in place.

Hancock is an absolute moron he should just fuck off.
He talked nothing but bullshit prior to this crisis and he's talked nothing but bullshit during it. He's a fucking weapon.

Agreed. He’s an embarrassment and utterly unqualified for a role of this importance. The classic, arrogant career politician stuck in campaign mode where he believes it’s ok the make promises and spout platitudes in the belief that he’ll muddle through and never be held to account. If, correction when the 100k tests target is not reached in a couple of weeks Boris must kick him out.

Everyone does ? Really? I didn't know it was you. Apologies for not knowing the twitter handle of every poster on SBT. Just really weird to make that tweet and then post it here in some strange game

But you're still banging on about that guy and not focusing on the real point which was the Sun's headline. But of course you need something to deflect away from that so you're just focusing on the guy, even though I said I don't know who he is nor do I care.

The point was that you randomly can find anything on twitter and say anything - your comment do you know how it works - well clearly I do and clearly I’d check a source before putting it on

All the others in the conversation at that time are on there following me and I follow them with one exception .

The fact that comment mysteriously appeared really should have made it obvious - it’s also pretty easy to work out whose who on there that were posting on here

For the hundredth time - you do realise the guy who tweeted it did not write the Sun headline? He is not the source of the Sun's front page.

The problem we have is the unqualified for the role comment applies across the spectrum. There is a dearth of political talent.
I still think there's a case for Tories calling a few old heads in. The PM won't be able to do his day to day duties for some weeks.

For the thousandth time I would put a tweet on from someone who wanted to make a point on terrorist deaths that was a lie and clearly wasn’t very bothered how many had died

The headline was ok anyway

Health ministers are rarely qualified for roles as most politicians specialise in arts subjects and very few I can think of have any medical qualifications. The shadow guy is a carbon copy of Hancock

Hancock was yesterday talking about setting up a system where primary care trusts and order ppe from a central store. Surely they should of been done weeks ago

I knew you would find the headline OK.

So you think a thousand people dying is a good day and Operation Last Gasp is funny, but saying Boris should take it on the chin is the most abhorrent sentence ever written.

The right are so sensitive bless their cotton socks.

They’ve gone with the headline “get well soon babe” this morning so don’t hold your breath.
Vaccine key to UK exit strategy and 'the lives cut short'

it’s fairly obvious that the plan is to deflect away from any questioning around the handling of the crisis. Their reporters must have taken a gander at this board and been inspired.

with any luck the Sun will go under, however that then puts The Daily Mail out on its own as the biggest paper in the country

I can only imagine this exact same scenario of the PPE, but with Labour in charge and Corbyn at the helm and him having Coronavirus instead of Boris.

It would be 'wish him well', but an absolute shitstorm and character assassination in the papers.

The shortage of PPE to our frontline workers is an absolute scandal.

I wonder if the shadow guy would try and throw NHS staff under the bus?

We are back to square one. A saying that was created for football if you are interested.

The death in office if a prime minister during a national crises would have had a devastating effect on morale and it would be the same if it was Corbyn - it’s vital he survives

The Mail has been the most critical regarding PPE?

They have been, but there has been a big let up in general upon the government and on Boris, even before he got infected.

Really, this should be the headline of every single paper.

We have know since January this was coming.

Doctors and nurses should not be dying.

They are dying in every country. The WHO believes the world is only at 60% required levels. As someone on here said all businesses operate on JIT supply metric these days and that probably has to be looked at

The Sun won’t ever go under. It’s worth it to keep it afloat at any cost for the propaganda gains alone. Probably makes him billions in the long run.

Take a look at the front pages of The Guardian and The Sun in the link above.

One talks about the tragic loss of life and one talks about Carrie sending letters to Boris.

I can't believe you're actually defending The Sun, on anything. Actually yes I can believe it.
