So the government that delivered a plague in care homes are now telling me that we owe it to the children to get them back to school. Yeah okay.

Not quite accurate though. If Trump had have done it in real life he’d have accidentally given himself a Hitler moustache.

It's quite scary to be honest. As NW pointed out earlier politics has now become so.partisan it's frightening and people aren't bothered about seeing politicians held to account.

We're going down (very slowly) because of the restrictions that were in place. They've relaxed them at a point where the R rate is literally just on the cusp of being acceptable. So if you remove those restrictions that's got it down what do you think's going to happen? You must've seen the busy tube and buses from Wednesday and that is down to the message to go back to work. Not the people on them because a lot of people have no other choice but to use public transport in London. And now they're bringing back in the increased congestion charges etc it's only going to get worse.

I'm willing to predict come the end of the month cases, deaths and R will all be heading in the wrong direction and it'll be traced back to easing of lockdown.

But due to the ideology of the Tories and their obsession with the economy they'll dither AGAIN over putting the restrictions back in place and we'll end up somewhere close to where we were.

Which is surely an argument against relaxing it all?

Its always good to see a man that was sacked from his last ministerial post for sheer, unfathomable incompetence being responsible for what it will probably be the biggest test of whether we get through this virus without killing half a million people.

Although you’re right I’m guessing we came to that decision for different reasons and this is a recent realisation for you.

Guys, we can make the virus end tomorrow if we’re all just really, really positive about it and don’t ever even think about criticising the government.

I am curious though. How do you put a positive spin on thousands of avoidable deaths in nursing homes for instance?

Why do you always have to be positive? It's not negative to point out that when things are going wrong.

This you must be positive blitz spirit bollovks must end

A fucking prick who up til now has largely supported the message of the Tories and thought Corbyn was useless. But now he's actually doing something close to what he's supposed to do (with a fair amount of self-promotion added in it must be said) you want him sacked because he's not supportive of Boris Laaadd!

He's got plenty more stuff that is worth sacking him for over the years than what he's been saying recently.

Learn the difference between negativity and critical analysis.

I'm not sure I've ever wanted to be wrong more in my life because if I am thousands of people will still be alive and that is worth as much humble pie as I can shove down my gob.

Well you'd explain that all the other European countries had around 50% infection in homes and that you'd managed to keep It out of 65% of homes .
