    We had deaths from old people's homes added to the number. What about other countries we are being compared with. Other countries have also had much stronger lockdown restrictions put in place. Ask anyone who lives elsewhere in Europe. But the Tories get an easy time of this. Maybe it is...

    Bollocks. It has been spoken about all my life. It wasn't just noticed at the end of the last Labour government.

    There isn't much any of us can do to help people in certain situations. You can't go blaming yourself for anything. I had a good mate who had cancer. He passed away a week ago. None of his wife or kids could visit him in his last days. He ended up in a hospice for the last week or so and his...

    And yet again show where I have jumped on Labour. Now try the truth. Several on here have had a go at the Tories not stockpiling medical equipment needed for a time like this in the last 10 years. I stated (Which is 100% the truth) that the Tories have had a lot more than 10 years and there...

    It is better to be able to test more than needed than not be able to test as many as needed as previously. Most people still working are allowed to be tested. But most won't bother.

    This is a party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour party. Just like we knew that a pandemic was going to happen so should have stockpiled everything needed. But the truth is we hadn't had a pandemic for over 100 years. And those same people ignore that Labour didn't prepare for one...

    Toilet roll scandal : covid rip off

    You will be looking at a different brand than normal. Their sheet count will most probably be similar but the paper of a lower quality and thinner. So to make up for this they use a larger core size. On most paper converting machines it can be quite a large engineering change to change the...

    EFL Decision on Coventry’s future expected today

    Calm down. They are not to blame for the situation. Correct. But who have they to blame for the way they deal with the situation? A lot of it would come down to the written rules and regulations. Are they watertight for a situation like this? I wouldn't think so. Nobody in the legal trade...

    They just needed to hit the target by the end of the month. Then they will come out with their excuses like they could have tested 100,000 but they were not needed.

    So what stocks did we have? We have done nothing but consider it for a very ling time. Yes it includes Labour but also the Tories for a lot more than 10 years. But as usual many only want to count the last 10 years.

    I have only seen them counting the tests when sent out as I stated earlier.

    I read the article. They are counting them as soon as they send them out and not when the tests are taken. But how would they know what day they are taken?

    Why shouldn't tests being done at home be counted as a test being done? Was there a statement saying what kind of tests would count?

    None what? This is where you make up your own story to make a point that doesn't exist. They are mandatory in countries that are used to wearing them. So where in Europe are people used to wearing them?

    So they would prefer people to die than cause panic buying? I have to wear one as a part of my job. You start to sweat underneath one. It becomes uncomfortable. If you wear glasses they steam up. You touch them to move them. So let's say you have the virus. You touch the mask. You then have...

    Here is a link Why are coronavirus tests so difficult to produce? Here is a paragraph from the link Making matters more complicated, many countries, including the UK and the US, have had problems getting enough supplies for testing. It’s not so much a matter of lacking the raw materials but...
