As I said weeks ago the government and media have spent three years training people to think they know best and experts are liberal metropolitan idiots with no common sense and this would backfire drastically. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Remember when it wasn’t worth closing schools? Or stopping football? Or how as stocks build it’s slowly turning out that maybe masks will be worth wearing after all. Over the last week it’s been highlighted how other countries are controlling borders and travellers more and suddenly its...

It’s only worth taking action once the R value has fallen which is achieved by taking action. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s the same libertarian circles pushing lifting the lockdown in the US they’re just not as influential here. Also it’s worth noting people on this forum predicted it happening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fact every decision was led by media and public demand does suggest this. Every daily briefing they are responding to whatever was the focus of criticism over the previous days. Nothing has been proactive.

Yeah it's fanaticism as has got to the point it's dangerous and people are dying because of wrong decision but it's not patriotic to ask questions or demand better.

I was wondering the same. I can understand the street parties when the war ended but has it always been a yearly thing?

Sorry but that is absurd. Both may be biased but the Mail are on a completely different level. If you forget the national debate 4 do some excellent international reporting and analysis.

Look at the difference in how Dianne Abott was treated for her number gaffee compared to Patel. And she was only trying to read a number from a piece of paper as opposed to remember a figure!

She has come across as arrogant and sneering the whole time so I had my suspicions from the start. She then came across very badly in front of the select committee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got it on Switch and feel exactly the same. Brilliant update of a nostalgic classic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're absolutely right.

That's good to hear.

FFS they've been dropping hints all week things will be relaxed. Noticed a change this week in terms of how many people are about and their demeanour. Talking of mixed messages have you seen the gov tweet about not being tempted out if you fancy chicken wings? It's hilariously tone deaf but...

Is it a case of white males being less likely to get the job or just giving the oppurtunity to anyone? I've defaulted myselft to judging something as positive discrimination but sometimes when you look into it it is actually perfectly fair. I'm not saying that's the case with MP selection as I...

Should be mandatory for an event like this. Remove the politics and focus on getting things done. The daily briefing is 3/4 PR and marketing, it's an embarrassment.

Raises some good points. The knock on effects could be huge, both politically and economically. As May points out there is a risk nationalism and isolationism could rise further and have long term damaging effects globally. Think on what the likes of Orban, Trump and Bolsonaro could do if they...

And we had the luxury of watching the virus take hold in other countries first and didn't react.

I don't hate Johnson, I hate very, few people. He'd probably be a good laugh and he can be quite charming. However, it is a matter of fact that he has been sacked from almost every job he has ever had for either lying or incompetence. He is openly lazy, not detail orientated, clearly more...

Agreed. Been getting the distinct impression that a fair few countries are for all intents and purposes going to give up as it's too hard to deal with. Make some noise about track and trace apps and precautions to keep the press and public quiet but pressure people back to work and hope for the...
