Thereisalight.. Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I tend to the avoid West FM due to the near constant Covid propaganda in between songs. Had it on the car earlier and heard an advert from the bold Leitch simpering about protecting ourselves, our families and our NHS. Never thought I'd see the NHS being used in this way to pull at heart strings, but we're at "our brave boys" levels of sycophancy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Javid says there are 200,000 cases a day at the moment. So you can deduce that most folk don't have a clue they have it. Edit: or he is lying and making things up. The goalposts seem to be shifting totally on the number of cases. They should only use the positive test numbers but it now seems a huge number is being plucked as an unconfirmed, untested random figure and being used in public to represent "infections" as opposed to cases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've always estimated that cases are 4-5x higher than reported. Crucially, they have seldom if ever made reference to this in government communications and just accepted it. This is utter desperation on show here, purely because the PM is down a massive hole that he dug himself into. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 It's genuinely bemusing how the default position seems to be "restrictions" to protect the NHS rather than questions being asked as to how the NHS can be properly funded so we never have to face a situation like this again.Last year was understandable with cases increasing going into winter and there being no vaccine coverage. That we're a year on and the government are still peddling "protect the NHS" is a disgrace. Surely that's their job and the fact they've neglected and underfunded it for years has now left the public facing weeks/months of uncertainty and possible further restrictions on life.Its probably fairly easy to find but I'd love to know the amount that has, and probably will, be spent on propping up businesses in the name of protecting the NHS. I'm fairly sure that, whatever the amount, it would have gone a whole lot further had it been put into the NHS instead. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought I'd see the NHS being used in this way to pull at heart strings, but we're at "our brave boys" levels of sycophancy It's a Scottish Government advertising campaign, it's not being run by the NHS. As measures go an effective awareness campaign is one of the more sensible ones (no idea if this one is effective or not as never listen to shite like West FM to hear it). Just tune to a non commercial station and it's one less thing to annoy you. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that has been put in an internal memo. Its way too prevalent not to have been. Our NHS this our NHS that.

Honest_Man#1 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Well I’m into full blown panic mode at what’s coming tomorrow now. Discussing on the radio that Scotland might go similar to Southern Ireland with restrictions which would just about break me at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Todd_is_God Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 I have to be honest, I've moaned like f**k about restrictions, but I've done my best to follow them throughout. Everything the SG have asked me to do to "protect the NHS" I've done. However if they re-introduce any then I have no intention of doing so again (beyond anything I physically cannot do because, for example it's closed). ✔ Saw no-one for weeks last April / May. ✔ Longer lockdown for longer normality. ✔ Limited family contact to just Christmas Day last year. ✔ Shielded for what felt like an eternity. Twice. ✔ 1st, 2nd & booster jag promptly. 21 months in I've absolutely no desire to continue to put my life on hold for an indefinite period, purely because they have neglected to the health service for years. I've done my bit. Time for them to do theirs. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
