The public has been so propagandised to hate each other that the “other” is always to blame and the party can do no wrong.

We definitely all have personal responsibility but fucking hell that has to start with strong leadership.

That's terrifying because it basically tells the govt they can do what the fuck they like and they won't get blamed for it.

They are!!

 

[Jamesimus]

People that voted for the clowns and got the circus need to swallow their pride and remember what kind of leadership they wanted from this government in the first instance.

 

[David O'Day]

that was fucking awful a clown who doesn't know what is going on, a chancellor who is fucking economically illiterate and CMO who clearly doesn't agree with them

 

[fernandopartridge]

So they are claiming they own the factories..? Ffs

Tbf you can sort of read it both ways, but look at the state of that paragraph. It doesn't inspire you with any confidence, does it?

What did the CMO say?

 

[fernandopartridge]

It's perfectly simple

 

[fernandopartridge]

As much as I abhor to the Tories, what utter drips work in DHSC?

 

[David O'Day]

What did the CMO say?

Basically said it wasn't enough

 

[David O'Day]

world beating

Yeh I am actually more drawn towards the first line which says it's a manufacturer....it's not a manufacturer....at all

 

[clint van damme]

It’s getting harder to believe they are actually this shit. Is it intentional? I don’t get it.

The adverse affects of Brexit will be blamed on covid. A ready made scapegoat has fallen into their laps and even if some of it reflects badly on them better to look like you've mishandled an unforeseen pandemic than to have a light shone on the pitfalls of your pet project.

My local is already taking the piss. They’ve advertised the soup of the day as Stella Artois

What do you expect ?

Following the science.

And, as minutes from the government's scientific advisory group, Sage, show, recommendations made to ministers on 21 September included an immediate circuit breaker - or short lockdown - which was seen as the most effective way to suppress the virus.

They also reveal that the scientific advisers believe NHS Test and Trace is having just a "marginal impact" on the epidemic and this "will likely decline further" unless the system grows to keep pace with new cases.

Herd immunity. God it's joyous this.

followed the science first time and the country collapsed. would you want a full lockdown?

Didn’t really they locked down too late and started quarantining foreign arrivals months after it started

 

[The Lurker]

as per scientists advise? yes or no

Yup. Was following a herd immunity approach which, as more evidence emerges, looks a dangerous path to tread.

Bring on the anti virals!

 

[shmmeee]

as per scientists advise? yes or no

No.

Here’s a handy rule of thumb: if you think it, it’s probably inaccurate.

The advice was to lockdown properly and early. We didn’t. Because of that we’ve fucked the economy and the health situation.

 

[The Lurker]

Last 6 weeks of covid deaths, compared to deaths in March/April. please tell me why we should have another lockdown?

Anti virals would of course only be given to those infected and so aren’t quite as desirable

It’s beyond your personal capabilities of understanding.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The ‘scientists’ wanted to lock it down sooner. They’d also probably argue for schools to be closed but the twat will never do it

 

[shmmeee]

You should be taking an equivalent six weeks? Why have you chosen those six weeks?

You’ve taken six weeks from the middle of the first wave and compared it to six weeks early in the second.

I think he's advising Boris Johnson as he's completely ignoring the experts

I think he'll be forced to eventually... no doubt too late.

Then he'll complain about the virus killing the economy, when swifter action would have been less devastating

• banning all contact inside homes with members of other households
• closing all bars, restaurants, cafes, indoor gyms and hairdressers
• requiring all university and college teaching to take place online

Of all the measures proposed by the advisory group, just one - advising those who can work from home to do so - was implemented by the government at the time.

In the documents, Sage warned that "not acting now to reduce cases will result in a very large epidemic with catastrophic consequences".

I believe that RBC posted on Facebook asking people not to mix with other households in the home last week. Nothing from the government though.

you guys make laugh. Follow guidance when it suits. scientists at the start said masks don’t work. But yet have to wear mask everywhere
