Whether that actually made it into the legislation though is anyone's guess. If it did, I would say a walk to the shop for the paper every day is not going for necessities as infrequently as possible. Boris? FFS. The advice from the FM is shopping to more than once per day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She gets to go.first every day, I'd tell her to fūck off if I was Robert Peston. Andrea Brymer on STV is speaking strangely, I think she's trying to sound authoritative and serious, but it's a weird. Am I imagining it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 569 dead today, with 50 of those in Scotland. The latter of those is quite a shock, given the way it's tended to go so far. 10 in last 24 hours - the other 40 were from previous days - adding in those where coronavirus has been attributed as the cause not just those tested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is that they don't look to healthy either. Where did he get his gear? Eta, the clothes he's wearing.

The way I interpreted it was that testing suspected cases in the general public was more important, basically saying f**k you too front line staff while talking about mobilising the front line troops of the NHS as the go into battle to protect our red white and blue country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically said that himself and Boris are obviously in the front line against the nasty virus, and it was of paramount importance they were tested ahead of the rest and was a matter of some priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I've actually managed to lose respect for Unionist Twitter throughout this, which I didn't think was humanly possible. Any shared approach between UK and Scottish Governments - 'haha wee Nippy taking orders, Boris running the show, loser' Any remote divergence in approach - 'What?! Why is she using this to make Scotland seem different, disgusting!1!1!' Bunch of absolute freaks, man.Some of it is utterly disgusting - especially that fucking Historywoman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hancock looked like he was getting off on his recovery steroids and thinking he was speaking to the Tory Party Conference. There was a distinct waiting for applause pause before asking for a question from Laura. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I forget what thread it was in, but earlier @MixuFixit was complaining about political journalists reporting on this rather than science or health ones, citing Peston in particular Do you really want more Hugh Pym on the telly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Questions obviously getting too close to the bone, off you pop you plebs. What the f**k was that all about?? A shocking editorial decision. News at 6 was on bbc1 so keep the live conference on the news channel ffs. Did he even get asked that? The guy is basically doing a damage limitation job. A lot of its and buts but little substance as things stand. Hancock looked like he was getting off on his recovery steroids and thinking he was speaking to the Tory Party Conference. There was a distinct waiting for applause pause before asking for a question from Laura. He's up there with the worst communicators in politics. He's got absolutely no connection with his audience, and comes across as completely disingenuous.I remember seeing him get ripped apart after a sore brexit defeat and yet the c**t has continued to rise. He's in charge of the nhs at one of its more critical times. God help us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 2 hours ago, Turkmenbashi said: Probably because these are least important things in the grand scheme of things. Also many people will travel from other locations to attend these. Whereas everything else (except maybe work), involves less traveling from other areas If the lockdowns were all about protecting public health then whether or not an activity is 'important' is irrelevant: you free people to do activities again in the order of least to highest risk instead. If any government is seriously planning to open public schools as their first lockdown relief measure step then their country won't get back to normal again for fucking years. That's like being in the middle of a Victorian cholera outbreak and deciding to let all the weans back out to play next to the communal sewer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
