    Appreciate that and accept your argument isn’t about political parties, but my point is that cutting from the Times has been circulated around social media today, probably leading to more people to panic and worry, believing this guy is in charge. He’s not. In addition, even the author of the...

    Do you really serious believe Cummings was driving policy on this ? Just listening to LBC who are talking about social media circulating that very snippet from the Times article and they listed the 5 scientific committees feeding into Witty and Valllence who then drive the policy/measures I’m...

    There are plenty of other elements to that article and another article (double page spread on page 6) as you will know ROS. For a start comments regarding scientific groups/councils estimates of deaths (unmitigated) rising from 100k to 500k in only a week, which changed the scientific advisors...

    A drink at home is about the only joy/pleasure many are going to get for the next few weeks, banning it would be crazy (and impossible)

    i wouldn’t be surprised if some supermarket rules get brought in over the next day or two following government meetings today, as this behaviour has got to stop (as you say the close proximity of people queuing just goes against the general advice - that’s not to say it justifies going to the...

    Give it a break about Johnson mate, you don’t like him, we get it. Whatever you think of him I bet the blokes had fuck all sleep all week (after having to make constant life and death decisions).

    Ive not seen many examples of this since he became PM mate (first budget and now the current assistance package also suggest otherwise).

    A few women have said that about me to be fair mate. There is a poor general personal hygiene in this country and around the world (again with certain exceptions). Hopefully a small positive to come out this situation will be an improvement of this as it will help reduce the spread of seasonal...

    It’s heart breaking and people need to start talking some personal responsibility in this situation (and hope that if they do become ill their government/health service has got adequate care for them - this is going to stretch every health service around the world, with the odd exception, like...
