Politics in the UK needs a complete overhaul.

Whilst I do doubt some figures from countries like Germany and Sweden, we do look to be at the but end of this virus well and truly. It's a fucking disgrace.

Our lockdown doesn't differ that much from many other countries, but it seems to me we are trying to plug the bath whilst there is a hole in the side of it.

Why the fuck are planes landing with no passenger checks? This is the same narrative that aggravates the UKIP crew and it's easy to see why they get a platform. We have no control over our borders. Might as well say welcome to Great Britian - country of complete mugs.

The tories are fucking useless and not fit for purpose, whilst labour are continuously rejected by the electorate. Both of them need fucking off or a complete overhaul.

I've fucking had enough.

Its not that our lockdown is different, its that we did fuck all for weeks while the idiots pretended it could never happen here and sneered at how badly hit other countries were. This is what Toby Young said when he was talking about how the rest of Europe was wrong and how Boris was right, “I have a kind of mystical belief in Britain’s greatness and her ability to occasionally bring forth remarkable individuals, who can serve her at critical junctures. I’ve always thought of Boris as one of those people – not just suspected it, but known it in my bones.” When you have that kind of talk going on while a lethal incurable virus is killing thousands, you know you're looking at a major crisis... well you should anyway.

Starmer asked him how it all went so badly, he said ‘we stuck to our main objective to protect the NHS’

Get used to it, the number one priority as time goes on will be to manipulate everything to try and prove that actually we weren't the worst at all.

Someone made the same point on Jeremy Vines radio show earlier. After weeks of comparing our figures to other countries claiming aren’t we doing well all of a sudden we can’t compare our figures either countries.

Sort of reminds me of when a footballer basks in glory and compliments then spits his dummy out after some deserved criticism.

Go on then, for better or worse, this is my news source so as not to depress me too much (wtf am I thinking?!?) so I may as well have the numbers.

I think it’s a very bad idea to consider following Italy and Spain without the delay of a few weeks. In fact criminal springs to mind

I think if that goes ahead it's herd immunity
But It feels the last ten days has opened up without official advice.

I agree.

Small things like B&Q and KFC are making people jump the starting gun.

It's like because there is no real leadership everyone is slowly creeping forwards.

I've definitely seen a difference in the last two weeks.

All 6000 of those are likely to have occurred during lock down. Where’s chris Whitty to explain how

On deaths we’re more like three weeks off Italy, seems very early to be opening up. I hope they know what they’re doing.

Does anyone have the death figures on people under the age of 70 that don't have underlying health conditions?

6,000 new cases, 659 deaths and yet rumours of lockdown being stopped at the weekend, and those rumours fuelling starting to ignore it anyway. It’s looking unfortunately like the U.K. ‘second wave’- if it happens- may be particularly lethal and brutal.

you’d have to have some kind of a perverse death wish to head out back to normal after this weekend.
