    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Although I didn’t think it would actually happen anyway, but not addressing one of the prime drivers of infection rates in a population that is likely to be less vaccinated (kids) makes the other restrictions a little pointless.

    It says sick - not isolating. It could be a combination of the two to be fair.

    This was in Northampton. As well as not being able to send an ambulance for that long the police had to take him to Kettering which is about another 12 miles away.

    But it won’t be the unvaccinated that die because they can’t get an ambulance after a car accident or a collapse at home. 3 weeks ago at our Vets football match a player collapsed at the side of the pitch - the ambulance said they couldn’t come for 2 hours. The only reason he survived was...

    That’s the one - sack the clown that made it.

    And one that used to work for Owen Paterson to boot.

    It’s not terrible for Starmer really, but it should give him food for thought as to future strategy in seats like this. The people making the ‘only Labour can win here’ posters need to do one though.

    The interesting thing will be at the next GE, assuming Johnson is gone. Will the Tories be able to entice voters back with a promise of a new regime, will the alliance here hold with an increased turnout.

    Do you mind if I ask where you’ve heard that? Literally heard no rumblings at all which you often pick up from people in the know.

    Aguero Retired

    I’m well aware - however there are better strikers that played in the top flight over the years prior to the creation of the PL hence the differentiation.

    Totally unacceptable

    For the top ones - players/coaches should be banned permanently IMO… only way it becomes a proper deterrent.

    Aguero Retired

    Best striker of the PL era so far for me.

    Mason also said this just this afternoon….

    I don’t think it makes you either. An analogy you could use is Brexit. On one side you have the frothing Leavers that wanted British Empire 2.0 and all ‘Remainers’ hated this country, and on the other side the delusional Remainers that thought only racists voted for Leave and that they had a God...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Ultimately you may well be right - but where is the harm in asking, and then shouting from the rooftops that the Government don’t give a fuck about supporting people that are asked to comply?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’m not sure that Labour supporting the measures makes Johnson look weaker at all - and there is no way that assertion will play out in the media. An opportunity to try to a) maximise compliance with financial support where appropriate and b) look like a party with not just a plan but...

    There is always bullshit regardless - but if the numbers of deaths has skyrocketed in a month then maybe it’s a bit justified. If it’s still minimal then your assertions are valid - expert or not.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don’t know why you wouldn’t want Labour to use this rebellion to secure financial protection for the people that will be adversely affected by having to adhere to these measures. It’s all very well Labour supporting the government (which I get why they should) but they should also be fighting...

    It’s a fact based on the data so far…. Which is small and limited. I genuinely don’t understand why you are getting so agitated about this at this stage. If the figures are still the same in a month then I do understand.
