On a side note, they were advertising for support workers for the nhs nightingale hospital in London at 9.21 an hour.

They still see people as not being worth a decent wage

That’s not even the living wage in London is it?

It’s typical gallows humour massively over stated as being important

Gallows humour? So you’re fine with people suggesting that they’d throw a party if Boris died? Gallows humour remember.

nope and the same advert states that if you are furloughed you can work there for free

cunts

I would say that an example of the paucity of the ability to govern is seen in the way we started a gofundme campaign for Big Ben to ring on Brexit Day some time after the government had received a full briefing on COVID19’s imminent arrival and people had started dying. Brexit was genuinely more important to plan for. Zero common sense or leadership, and this government has spectacularly failed in its most basic duty- keeping its citizens alive.

How could you have herd immunity policy in any country where there is no vaccine?

You said it could work in Sweden?

 

[Grendel]

Oh the hypocrisy. So when I say Boris should take it on the chin that's not gallows humour? It's disgusting and crass and abhorrent and I'm a c**t?

Don't know why I'm even bothering to argue with you, what's the fucking point

The take on the chit comment again - sigh

Gallows humour, have a good laugh about it.

To be fair to the Mail their headlines do seem to be on point and related to the Coronavirus whereas the sun seems to have moved Dear Deidre to the front page. Even the Express have gone with a front page of Desperate nurses Easter plea. The Sun showing how substandard they are.

It has a largely sub standard readership to be honest

 

[Ring Of Steel]

You said it could work in Sweden?

If anyone could make it work they had a chance, yes, however it failed there too. To even contemplate it in a country like ours was a murderous folly, that’s clearly beyond any doubt now.

Boris has got the games and movies out. Good job he’s not watching Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman or some on here would be having a breakdown

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson 'playing games and watching films' in hospital

I see the fictional TV show Holby City has donated it’s stock of ventilators to the nightingale hospital in London. Beggars belief.

As long as Dustin Hoffman was 2 meters away it would be ok. Knowing Boris though he'd be shaking hands the daft twat.

Dustin Hoffman is two metres short if that helps in any way.

Luckily for him you only need to count up to nine to play sudoku. I don’t think he’s allowed to watch either Outbreak or Contagion in case he thinks they’re documentaries.

Ah so that's what Hancock meant by ramping up supplies

Im pleased he’s on the mend...

Do I think it’s a waste of column inches to know if he’s been watching LOTR.... yes I do.

Is that real?

And how are those 10,000 we ordered from Dyson getting on?

£10.75 in London.

LOTR very on brand for Johnson, surprised he’s doing foreign muck like Sudoku though, should be doing good British crosswords.

that’s an incredible stat about 40% pigs in China dead- they do love their pork over there

When he’s finished in Downing St he can get a job at MI5.

If that’s a straight quote and isn’t twisted then Matt Hancock needs to be sacked on the spot, at minimum. Don’t like the word but I feel it’s deserved here- he’s a dangerous incompetent c*nt.

 

[skybluetony176]

Is that real?

And how are those 10,000 we ordered from Dyson getting on?

Apparently. They also offered to donate Hugh Quarshie to deputise for Matt Hancock but he was apparently overqualified. The second bit isn’t true, although Hugh Quarshie probably is better qualified than Matt Hancock.

 

[PVA]

Meanwhile.....

Bloody hell. Just unreal.

I await something about Italy or France from the usual crowd, but that's just appalling.

I would think it’s important to clarify whether he actually said that, it seems too stupid and bloodthirsty even for him

 

[Otis]

Can anyone explain what happened with SARS? I remember it, but it barely touched these shores did it.

That was a Coronavirus, so what happened there and how long was it before they managed to get a vaccine?

There were a lot fewer deaths too.

What was different?

 

[Otis]

Bloody hell. Just unreal.

What? Why would he even contemplate saying that?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

 

[PVA]

What? Why would he even contemplate saying that?

Because he's out of his depth and people out of their depth don't do well under live questioning.

You can get away with lies or mistakes when talking about Brexit or elections, but when people are dying lies and mistakes suddenly look even worse.

 

[PVA]

He is a Tory mouthpiece.

Of course the strategy is working, locking down and social distancing was always going to reduce the spread - even the most ardent Tory supporter would admit that.

The question is not whether it's working, the question is whether it was done soon enough.

I'm always a little apprehensive when I hear about any German army coming into Britain.
