resk Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Imagine thinking laura toryburg was anti government.These people are out there. I appear to be connected to a heap of them on Linkedin for some reason. "Are wunderful government is doing a great job! This is not the time to be asking difficult questions about PPE!

J_Stewart Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 1 hour ago, oaksoft said: For all their mistakes, the Tories have done some good things in this crisis. They are voluntarily paying countless employees on furlough rather than have them on the dole (which would have been much much cheaper for the Tories). Millions of small business owners will just have had or soon will have non-repayable grants of either £10k or £25k paid straight into their bank accounts with the 80% average profit payments to kick in within 6 weeks. If the Tories were worried just about money they needn't have done any of this. It's a real shame that so many people seem to be incapable of understanding this stuff but if someone is blinded in their hatred of the Tories then I suppose they can't be expected to be fair or balanced in their analysis. 1 hour ago, madwullie said: Going to hold off on patting the tories on the back for doing something similar to most other Western governments regarding finding money to help businesses etc, especially as it would have caused much more harm to the economy just to let everyone get completely fucked financially losing their jobs / businesses and doing f**k all about it. Fully agree with madwullie, and it's also hilarious that this is being framed as some sort of grand charitable gesture from the Tories. Let's be very clear here, IT'S NOT THEIR FUCKING MONEY. Aside from the fact that the entire economic structure our civilisation is based upon would have imploded had they not stepped in, this is not a case of Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Gove, Sunak et al liquidating their assets or re-mortgaging to give to the poor in a sudden onset of philanthropy, this isn't a Christmas carol with Ebenezer Scrooge, and the funds aren't coming from Conservative Party HQ either, they're using tax payer money to provide what's required to avoid a cataclysmic financial meltdown . I know Oaksoft is a troll, but there will be people that truly believe that shite. 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. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
