The UK gov has been staggeringly inept

 

The only reason more of the public aren't up in arms is bc they still have most of the media onside to downplay or bury bad news.

One party state media. There are actual Bojo cult groups out there online now, albeit filled with bots. The government can do anything and get away with it.

The sad thing is people KNOW the tory failures (on this and other things), but we've reached the point where they don't even care :drama:

Well the Spanish government have lost their marbles

 

Children 14 and under are allowed out with an adult but ONLY for essentials (food, medicine, banking) but NOT to exercise.

Ironically a 60 year-old Ohio man who was vehemently against the lockdown and kept going out and said the virus was "a load of bullsh*t" and "a political ploy" has caught it and died from it. Not much else to say really about that except he'll have passed it on to others. :rolleyes:

Spain is starting in 9 days

 

What are they doing exactly? I can't find anything on a quick Google or BBC News search

Confirmation that UK deliberately chose not to take EU ventilators because of Brexit, & then lied to the British population about it.

 

Didn't most people guess this anyway? Fairly clear it was a political and ideological choice which was short sighted and dumb. Hopefully it comes back to bite them on their arses. It's why a cabinet full of Brexit nutjobs is a disaster, most of them worried about their future career rather than what is good for the country.

Meanwhile, the latest minister to stick up his hand and shout "Look at me, I'm a complete moron" is the culture secretary Oliver Dowden. He was asked why the government allowed the Cheltenham race meeting to go ahead at a time when lots of other sporting events had been called off. He said that a race meeting or a football match was the same as a pub or a restaurant. I'd love to know about the restaurant where you have to pass by several complete strangers at close range in order to get to your seat, let alone any restaurant where tens of thousands of people are leaving at the same time.

Think we need to be very careful about coming out of lockdown to soon, Singapore had a increase in cases over the last 24 hours and lockdown has been reinforced again.

 

Spain is mad to change too quickly 454 died there yday!

There was certainly no doubt in my mind that they had lied. There are lots of aspects of this whole crisis that should be the subject of an enquiry. The number of blatant lies told by ministers is one of them.

So either the Permanent Secretary at the FO is lying or Hancock's lying. One of them must be. :thinking:

It would hardly be the first lie Hancock has told in the last few weeks.

Deaths are a poor yardstick as they lag about four weeks behind what is actually happening. New ICU admissions are a better picture along with the Reproduction rate.

 

 

 

Germany has started easing and our R-Rate has bounced back up to 0,9 from 0,7 according to the RKI. Merkel has us all under strict warning to behave but people are dumb as f*** and I could quite easily and realistically see us back on lockdown before mid-May with a proper scolding from Angela

So Simon MacDonald has written to the chair of the committee and said that he was wrong and "due to a misunderstanding I inadvertently and wrongly told the committee..."

 

So Hancock didn't lie then unless Simon's covering up and taking the blame. Case closed then.

No, Cummings has applied the thumbscrews. McDonald merely confirmed what we already knew.

I know Piers isn't liked, well hated mostly, but fair play, this is damn good of him. The Government should write off all these fines instead though . Some NHS staff have to stay longer than their shift so are receiving parking fines for overstaying on top of normal tickets. ALL NHS PARKING SHOULD BE FREE TO ALL STAFF. Come on Boris and Hancock and see to this urgently.

 

 

"Piers Morgan was left fuming on Good Morning Britain yesterday as he revealed the dozens of parking tickets he’s received from NHS staff asking for help to pay them off as they continue fight against coronavirus. On 25 March, Piers vowed to pay off all health workers car parking bills as he slammed hospitals for their extortionate fees for car parking and fines for overstaying especially given the current climate."

 

Right now Piers is having a go at the Government over PPE, testing etc and Tony Blair's actually defending them and saying they're doing their best, working every hour of every day in very difficult circumstances.
