WhiteRoseKillie Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 This is the conservatives. They’ll probably try and shoot the poor.Nah, they'll just let them starve - cheaper and, if in lockdown, they're not lying all over making the place untidy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I think they'll go more targeted to protect the vulnerable but keep the economy going.Should be easier next time round - not many vulnerable left after this shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 There are all sorts of variables in the Far East that make comparisons with the UK not very useful, habitual use of face masks for one. Makes more sense to compare the UK with similar European countries. Do you think if we had copied Japan we would have had more or fewer than 40 thousand deaths?If we'd copied almost any country other than Brazil, Belorussia, or Trumpland we'd have done better than we have.And Johnson is proud. What a cúnt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone scoring over 30 would be considered for psychopathic treatment. I don't know about you but when I go through that list and apply each one to Johnson I find myself nodding and saying "yip" to just about all of them. What was your own score? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often wonder if the general health of the population is a significant factor. IE the Greggs effect. UK and US folk have far more obese and inactive folk. The obvious outlier to this would be Italy but am I right in saying most cases were in the industrial north as opposed to the less affluent south with the more traditional Mediterranean diet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious outlier to this would be Italy but am I right in saying most cases were in the industrial north as opposed to the less affluent south with the more traditional Mediterranean diet? Italy’s problem was that 50% of deaths were in one region (Lombardy, which accounts for 12% of the population) leading to the local NHS being overwhelmed and a much higher than usual death rate in that one area. The UK outbreak was much more evenly spread across the country, but had a higher death rate because the country is full of fat junkies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND.... 6) That the Scottish goverment has looked after us much more sensibly, than the tories have the people down south... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been shrinking from the start. she phoned him yesterday to ask what he thought of the shielding being extended and he just said it didn’t bother him, so long as he gets left alone to work on their family tree which has been keeping him busy during lockdown. He should really be consulting his gp, imho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To want to be PM you have to have a psychopathic hunger for power and be willing to trample people. Couldn't believe it when I heard Theresa May say about how she'd have no bother pressing the nuke button. What kind of shell of a human would be happy to nuke folk? Tony Blair - the best education money can buy, a "Christian", yet happy to start a war on false pretenses. Cameron - another empty vessel. Quite like the theory that the likes of Johsnon, Cameron and Blair all lack empathy by being sent of to boarding school and their whole careers are based on them lacking the input of maternal love and empathy. I don't really disagree that the role of PM at Westminster has attracted that sort of individual but I don't think you can say it's the same the world over. Sturgeon isn't anything like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 An embarrassing about turn by the WM government regarding having all primary kids in England back in school before the summer. It turns out that head teachers and teaching staff actually knew what was physically possible to achieve in regards to social distancing in their schools, rather than the usual muppets in government who only really wanted the kids back in school so that their parents can go to work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
