The use of social media disinformation is widely understood and researched. I won’t drop it because it makes people uncomfortable. In no way was I stating it was the instrumental factor but it certainly may have had an affect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had temp checked at work with a thermal camera last week, needs to be done everyday though, IMO. Doing schools will have the resources for that and government advice will be “wash your hands” and hope for the best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The failure of Cummings' British culture war Some good points here and reasons for hope. They managed to use post truth politics, a culture war and Russian bot networks to get the brexit vote - just. The Cummings debacle and the pandemic generally is showing that can only take you so far in...

It completely undermines the basis of law and the written and unwritten norms that are the basis of a functioning society. It’s turning the ‘rights of the individual’ of conservatism into anarchy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It can be a toxic and horrible ideology. It’s why they need the culture war though. If you convince enough people that immigrants or gay people are the issue or “the left are destroying free speech” you can distract them enough to not see how they are played. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was looking at twitter last night and the bots and boomers on twitter now seem to be taking the line that the left control the mail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What sources are you suggesting? I’ve had a look at the WHO website and can’t see anything suggesting there won’t be a second wave. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think what she is trying to say there is we now know how to control it and this will prevent later waves being as serious as the initial one. It seems to be being read as “there won’t be a second wave so open up” but in reality seems closer to “there might not be a second wave if we continue...

And where are you hearing about these positives if not the media? It’s been all over the media in the last few days that deaths are drastically down throughout Europe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From what I can see the WHO are saying globally we are still in the first wave and if countries reopen too quickly there will be a second wave. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

His point is “but labour!” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The left wing media continue to make a story out of nothing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was tempted to reply with something like “should they just throw any journalist who asks an awkward question into a gulag?” What can you do though? There’s no reasoning with anyone these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. Seen members of my family share this on Facebook. Dangerous times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah politically seemed like the obvious thing to do. Starting to think they’re trying to use it as an opportunity to galvanise their support against the media. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I suspect that might rise a bit today as MPs get bank to work from the bank holiday to find letter and emails of complaint and the polls start to reflect the public mood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see the MP for Rugby is now calling for Cummings to resign. Anyone know the tally now of how many MPs have broken ranks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spent some time in Vietnam last year so intrigued by both the series and the book. I knew the war had been a mess but the museums over there were an eye opener (not without a propaganda slant either which was interesting in itself). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apparently if you’re furloughed you technically haven’t taken the bank holidays and get them when you come back to work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
