This is not the Tories offering up a socialist olive branch after a decade of obliterating public services, this is them doing exactly what they always do: what's in their best interests. They shouldn't receive any undue praise for it, and it doesn't come an iota close to hiding their horrific mismanagement / criminal negligence of this pandemic. Every free-market conservative becomes a socialist when the market fails. It’s a temporary phenomenon.

AUFC90 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 That may be true but if we go into a severe recession, even a depression, who do you think will suffer most?Got nothing to do with me addressing the fact Oaksoft is talking shite yet again. You can bet your boots if everyone on the dole was a net benefit to a Tory government that's exactly what they'd do.

Not sure where he thinks the herd immunity is going to come from, especially as we don't yet know if immunity is a thing. Agree that immunity is not certain but the numbers don't stack up too ridiculously, it would depend on who they're testing as to how far off ridiculous they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I’ll bite. Much of the strategy to this is devolved; we all just happen to be on the same page. What should Nicola be doing differently and should she similarly charged with ‘horrific mismanagement and criminal negligence’? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Had a neighbour across from me letting their teenager out drinking most nights since lockdown. Currently I’m working in my bedroom and can here really loud coughing. Look out the window and the teenagers sitting in their garden coughing everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I've had zero though so far.Dunno if its ggc or something, but essentially they were told on tuesday about a whole ream of new shielding categories, have spent past two days devising strategies for them and contacting only for the advice to be rescinded today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
