He’s a bit like JRM in that he’s articulate and right wing so they rally around him saying things that sound convincing or using long words

I was talking to my brother yesterday and he’s started wearing a mask while walking to work and he recons his experience is people give him a wide berth since he’s been wearing it. More so than when he wasn’t. Puts it down to people thinking he must have it/had it because he’s wearing a mask. Part of his route takes him under Rugby train station where there’s only one narrow path, he was telling me if someone is already walking through the tunnel he waits until they’re through but doesn’t always get the same courtesy from other users so if he’s already walking through and someone starts coming from the other direction he starts feigning coughing and they pretty much always do a u turn.

If anyone wants a mask or 2 check out etsy as there are a great number of pretty cool handmade versions there at a reasonable price


But remember 2 or 3 layers of cloth

63k tests yesterday, so they fudged the figures for 1 day and are now back to nowhere hitting their target of 100k yet again

It's just ludicrous that they spent so much effort to 'meet' that target which could so easily be disproved and has since fallen back again. Why? It's just being misleading for the sake of being misleading and generating distrust. If they put that much effort into PPE etc we'd have no problem.

If they'd just said "we set an ambitious target and didn't meet it but we're committed to continue increasing testing" it'd be forgotten about in a day. Instead they've just added to the long list of stuff showing them to not be trustworthy.

Didn't even need to set a target. Increasing testing from 18k to up to 80k is impressive enough.

But it's being torn apart already and once parliament is sitting on Monday they will be forced to admit it is wrong.

That won't matter the seed is sown now and a lot of people will believe they hit the target. Not to mention if you google it the top results will be news reports on how they hit the target.

Think the £350m on the side of a bus showed them how much they could get away with. It was immediately discredited but they kept it up there and had people referencing it as fact. That seemed to trigger a move from spin to outright lying. Sure you can find instances prior to that (Cameron's contract with the electorate springs to mind) but nothing really as easily discredited that was still widely repeated and held up as fact.

You only have to look at social media to see there are people who don't accept criticism of it and think anyone doing so is just looking for excuses to be negative. It's funny and frightening at the same time.

It is but there's members of the press doing it, Nadine Dorries gloating, it's a joke.

It's like when Johnson stood up the other day and said the government's handling of the crisis had been a success and hardly anyone challenges him on it. Country's fucked

What if only 63k needed testing that day? I'm not saying the numbers the other day were truthful, but someone from my work went to get tested at the Ricoh, said no one was there. (maybe everyone went to St Andrews instead) but you cant test people aren't there
