I’d just hope the staff aren’t getting steaming and can keep things in check. I have also seen more security and if you are clearly too drunk to keep doing proper social distancing and all of that they are turfing out. Suppose it depends how sensible they are. Booking time slots for a table stops people getting too drunk.
I think there’s a false illusion that pubs opening means it’ll be the same as it was before all this kicked off. Most of my local pubs aren’t showing the footy to ensure behaviour doesn’t get rowdy.

Most of the pubs have put in plenty of measures, most forced by government like the 2 household rule but plenty have gone over and above. Temperatures checks, table bookings, etc.
And once the lagers a flowing lol

Anyone got any news about coronavirus?
Apparently it’s still here, still taking lives and impacting on society. But you wouldn’t believe it listening to the news - demonstrations, parties, beaches and celebrations - but having said that no spikes from Easter and May bank holidays and still nothing from BLM and the others.
Leicester is under the microscope at the moment and it’s been going on since the beginning of June! Is this a case of ignoring it hoping it would go away, herd immunity or the chance now to try new shutdown measures to see how the public handle it?
I am not a Covid denyer, but it’s strange that this has happened now, and not before, to try to dampen the weekend free for all 😷😷😷

Costs the country a fortune in interpreters. Lock one up, claims he cant speak English, call in support, few hours later, guess what, hes near on pretty fluent!

Yeah, but that doesn’t say anything about people born here not learning English, that just what you decided it meant. It refers to segregated communities where people have migrated to this country do not need to interact outside of their native tongue. It was mentioned these communities are mainly from countries such as Pakistan, India, etc. And mainly women too.
There’s a surprising graphic going around on the daily fail, but using government data, which shows that leicester has had 70 new cases in two weeks...a total of under 1500. Many more places have had a higher % increase. Link

I don’t think anyone born in this country doesn’t learn English...you kind of have to when you go to school and to get basic qualifications.  Where on Earth are you getting your information that there’s are loads of people born in england that refuse to learn English?
Speaking more than one language well doesn’t mean English isn’t someone’s first language. I know plenty of people that speak one or more other languages solely because that’s what their parents speak at home. Or so they can communicate with their relatives.

You hit it on the head
But unfortunately printing all literature in every language, not just CV advice, does not encourage people to learn the language of any country. If you wish to make a new country your country of residence learn the language not expect the country to pander for you to carry on as normal.
Some of these communities have been here for generations there should be less need for printing in their main language. Gone are the days when children need to translate for their parents, unless they are new to the country, learn the language its for the benefit of all.
Keep your identity and traditions if its compatable with the laws of the country as this allows for inclusion, diversity and adds to the ambiance of areas, but FFS learn basic communication skills.

As Wayne said it’s down to testing. Like America, trump telling them to stop testing so they don’t have such high figures.
Blame it on the foreigners is the standard far right, brexit party/Boris Johnson government narrative. It’s depressing that so many subscribe to it too. I’ve even heard someone spouting that the EU sent it to Britain on purpose after getting it on the mainland

For all we know Leicester could be doing loads more testing compared to everywhere else, thus picking up more cases of it.

Same here. Like a walk and a pint myself but I will be avoiding them. You just know it will be total carnage for the first couple of months
Just like the massive queues outside McDonald’s and KFC etc. When they reopened. Gave my daughter a bolloking, sat there for nearly an hour!
Think it might be the old subconscious salesman’s trick, make something exclusive or hard to get and all of a sudden everybody wants a piece of it!
Get ready for a riot and a possible R increase. While ever there are ming mongs this will just drag on and on and on and on. While I’m out and about is see people carry on and think, have you seen the news, have you heard of social distancing, some proper muppets
As well as the health implications I am seriously concerned about the impact on business and more importantly jobs. Add another spike and we could be in a very serious situation

There is something to this which I have heard about via scientists. And it makes sense. I believe that there are some that don’t due to the end host. This may be more to do with parasites though. some have their host becoming weak or dying and then being eaten as part of their cycle.

I read somewhere that viruses generally, mutate to be weaker rather than stronger over time.
The reason touted was that killing the host organism is not so conducive to the virus being able to spread.

Yep, antibody tests show that 21% have had it here.
The odd thing is, medics here are reporting much weaker infections in those who are testing positive for it now, with patients having viral loads which are fractions of the levels seen a couple of months ago. This doesn't seem to be the case in other places.

My brother is a scientist usually works on BSE but his lab has been converted for COVID-19 testing. He's part of the antibody home test kit validation program and had the antibody test last week, blood taken for the validation of the test. Talking with the boffins on the validation program they estimate <5% in the UK have had COVID-19. I'm sure Jon posted a figure of 1 in 5 positive antibody tests in an Italian hotspot. It's not over.

Let's not forget it's the older people who are the best at getting off their arses to go and vote, tend to be more supportive of conservatives, and are most commonly killed by Covid19.
Edit: Wayne, is that the Jimmy Savile who was a personal friend of senior Tories, spent holidays with Thatcher and campaigned for the conservatives, who made sure there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute him?

Latest survey reports that 41% of the uk's population still think that Boris and co have done a good job regarding the handling of coronavirus ,
Does anyone still think this is true and if so could they explain why they think this , maybe i missed something , i have been busy with work over the last few weeks since starting back on site !
Maybe people just find it hard to admit it's been a fiasco , i would expect a truthful figure of around 5% , Sun and express readers !

Corruption , endemic in the Tory party , rotten to the core , i was happy to put up with Corbyn as a means to an end ! we have witnessed it throughout this pandemic , please , don't try to retaliate with the laying of a wreath, terrorist sympathizer or he was antisemitic , you have been had , now we have another Blair in Starmer !
It is a constant battle for the masses to take from the establishment and Co and they hold all the aces at the moment !
A few on here have swallowed it and believe Its those nasty colored people causing all the problems and vote for Boris,
I'm sorry , you have been had , as i have said a few times , there are a few that post on here that wouldn't or couldn't see the truth if it was glued to the end of their nose , or they are just your average knuckle dragging racist !
And if they don't like it they can fu** off

Been the same on the SW beaches according to the news. Some bins were full but surely it’s not much effort to take rubbish home or find another bin. The cleanup guys are busy enough this time of year without people adding to their work, must take them several times as long to pick up the potentially infected rubbish even from around the bins. Hot weather and people seem to lose all reason and responsibility.
Perhaps I’ve missed it but I’ve not seen any explanation of the 2 or 1 metre rule or is this just another example of a political vague statement.
Anyone know if 1 metre should be measured from furtherest extremity, shoulder to shoulder or centre to centre?
If it’s the latter then surely people will be virtually touching.

The number of deaths here in Bergamo, with a strictly enforced lockdown once the severity of the problem was understood, was 550% more than last year. If they hadn't shut everything?
They are doing random antibody tests on 50k people, so far the numbers show 21.5% have had it.

Different countries using different ways of counting things, some playing up, some playing down, some trying to be honest, we'll never know the true numbers, maybe it's got to do with density of population which is why New York has got it bad and other American places are hardly affected.
Sweden has a bigger population and denser population compared to the neighbours it touches. It could be argued that has a bearing? I don't know …..just saying

Took my dog out around 6am this morning round a local water sports park prior to the masses arriving. Have to say, what a ****ing disgrace, don’t get me wrong the bins were overflowing but about a mile of bank was just like the floor of a concert, litter and bottles, everywhere, lazy ****s, take it home ffs. Good job it wasn’t windy or it would have all been in the water, selfish, irresponsible ****ing idiots
I was talking to one of the blokes who was doing the clean up, been like it for the last few days, mental, packed out!
See where we are in another month or two when the R numbers up

Answer to it is simple. Antibody test for everyone so we all know where we stand. Statistically very low numbers, although the figures are wildly inaccurate anyway. Between myself and 4 family members we know of 7 people that have died and had Covid 19 put on the death certificate and none of them died from it. They had other illnesses, two of them short term terminal. Some of them never even tested for it.
Currently in Northamptonshire there’s been 0.25% of the population tested positive and 0.07% died from it (although as I’ve said not that accurate). This is why people are not as worried as its made out they need to be.
Much the same as people getting fed up of over the top statue removal and street name changing, I think people are fed up of the over the top anxiety and doom related to covid19.

I don't normally agree with you but I think you may be right ( I hope you're wrong though)
We have a balancing act to keep people safe but also to save the economy which will need people to act responsibly but in the last few days and weeks that doesn't look promising.

They want both. They want to be furloughed because they say it's too unsafe to go to and actually do some work but it's ok to say lockdown is taking too long so they know better and do as they please
And if they are on the social then there's no financial advantage to be responsible so do as you like

Bit late on the uptake here mate. Discussed a few posts down. The Apple and android software only works when you have installed an authorised covid-19 tracking app on your phone and enabled it in the settings. It isn’t an app. It doesn’t work unless you download an app. And it’s the system that everywhere else in the world is using. Nothing to be worried about. Apple have just put it on the software update for when we are able to get an app. No privacy breaches, no naughtiness as it’s in the patch notes.

Is everyone aware that Apple has put an iPhone app on their phone without asking? CV anyone?
Go to settings - privacy - health and lo and behold big brother is there. It’s default setting is off but did they ask anyone’s permission. So not Government but multi national private business now have you 🙀 I don’t give a **** because I’m really boring but for conspiracy freaks this is going to push them over the edge.
So when Apple say the government hasn’t talked to them are you really gong to believe that 😂😂😂

It’s old news. It’s the software that allows the apps to work with privacy and keep data safe from getting in to the wrong hands. It’s doesn’t mean Apple and google are tracking you. I’ve seen people on Facebook saying all sorts about it that clearly don’t understand it. Just because it’s on your phone doesn’t mean you’ll have access to an authorised app either, we haven’t got one in the UK and we probably won’t have. Hancock been embarrassed by Apple already saying they’ve had talks and Apple said they have no idea what he’s on about. Hancock probably spoke to an Apple in the fruit bowl

There’s been hype over this but needn’t be. You can turn it off and only works if you have a valid app installed, like the one we will get in Winter. That’s what it explains on the an iPhone to you anyway. It doesn’t just work automatically and randomly.

Not meant to be political. Just said labour because you mentioned them before
I don’t think you can compare a potential situation at a later date because who knows the level of debt after renationalising many things brings in money to the treasury. Pandemic could happen 3yrs and 363 days in to the term and debt could have been much reduced from what was initially borrowed. Who knows. A pandemic may never have happened.
Your original point is one I see a lot from supporters of a certain party which is why I posed the question like that. If you take it on the situation that has actually happened then it doesn’t really make sense. Doesn’t even matter really anyway because labour didn’t win so not really sure why a comparison to something that will never happen is being made (more generally not aimed at you). It’s like saying “yeah city lost that champions league match but if arsenal won the league last year and qualified and were in that group they’d have lost by 5-0 not 3-0 to Real Madrid”

Sorry but I'm not going to get all political, I've said before we should have a political thread for that.
I will answer that one question though. No one knew if and when a pandemic was going to happen so I think it was lucky that Labour didn't get in and started to borrow and then a pandemic occurred later in their term as we'd even more ****ed than we are now.
We'd all be laying into the government big time but it would be a little unfair as they were voted in on agenda.
If Labour had got in and the pandemic started when it did people would say they welched on their promises which would be unfair. Unless they borrowed for furlough and their promises, now that would be wreckless
See I'm fair to everyone

Just for the record I'm not a die hard Tory by any means I've voted for many parties in the past and will do so in the future depending on what they stand for at the time.
An example of this is I thought the economy was doing ok under Gordon Brown and thought it was unfair for him to take so much criticism when the was a global down turn.
So I do support the government at the moment but only until the next election and then I'll make my decision based at the time.

Taken from BBC news
The UK is now publishing "growth rates" to measure the spread of coronavirus.
The figures tell us how fast cases are rising or falling.
Across the UK, the growth rate is estimated at between -2% and -4% per day. As the number is negative it means cases are falling.
So for every 100 new cases on Friday you would expect around 97 new cases on Saturday, around 94 on Sunday and so on.The growth rate is thought to be negative in every region of England.
Only in London is there a small chance cases are growing.
The range is from -5% to +1% but on balance cases are thought to be falling in the capital too.
The growth rate is related to the R number that has been reported for months. The R number for the UK is between 0.7 and 0.9 - anything below 1.0 means the epidemic is shrinking.
I give you
"only in London is there a small chance cases are growing"
Nothing to do with the marches, riot and fighting then?

Of course you didn't hear that because no one knew that it would become necessary.

The country is going to be in a bad place once some sense of normality returns.
But what was the government meant to do, soup kitchens, school dinners and hostels. Not casting any aspersions for anyone on here but people were happy to receive 80% in their hands and self employed loans, but where did they think it was coming from.
There is no such thing as a free lunch and we will be paying for this for years to come, but i bet every country is in the same position.

Playing out perfectly for the Brexit Brigade.
"The UK's debt is now worth more than its economy after the government borrowed a record amount in May.
The £55.2bn figure was nine times higher than in May last year and the highest since records began in 1993.
The borrowing splurge sent government debt surging to £1.95 trillion, exceeding the size of the economy for the first time in more than 50 years."
We're back where we started before joining the EU. Sick man of Europe again? Borrowing your way into a recession doesn't look good

'do what the Germans are doing' should have been the plan on all things C-19 it seems.
Wonder if Raab knows where Germany is?
surely this is all too overcomplicated. Google maps knows where I've been for the last 3 years since I got my phone. Even to the postcode and address - and with times too.
I reckon Boris and Cummings are trying to get one that doesn't show where THEY'VE been. Not a problem for Raab / Hancock / Williams / Patel etc. as if you just search 'a different feckin planet' then you'll find them easy enough.

Mal you are doing tits a disservice cockwomble sums him up better.
Fingers crossed for the 2 coppers and their families.
At this stage it doesn't look like the riots on both weekends has caused a spike in infections. but time will tell, hopefully it doesn't and if it doesn't you have to wonder whether the virus is loosing its potency or has shelf life or more people have had it and immunity is working. Heres hoping its any of these, fingers crossed.
The App I just despair, its like every Government project Crossrail, NHS system they all end up on the scrap heap as always. Its not only Conservatives but Labour also landing us with the PFI contracts costing billions. Other countries have had problems developing their own trace Apps and why should we be no different.
JUST GET THE ****ING THING WORKING!
Apple/google already have the App running in other countries just patch into it and lets move on with it! Or just use their bespoke app.

My wife volunteered herself for a trial at St Thomas's hospital it works on some sort of app where she reports in everyday.
On Sunday morning she had a slight sore throat so the app told her to get tested so she booked at 3.30pm drive through test the same day. The result came back negative within 24hours which was the result she expected as the sore throat was short lived.
I don't know much about the scheme she is in as it's some sort of study project but the testing side which is outside the study and is widely available was impressive
Edit
It's not St Thomas it's Kings College and no she's not bothered about privacy data

No one is ever going to know how many deaths. Some wrongly attributed to CV19, some not attributed and deaths as a consequence. There should be no surprises when all sides and medias manipulate the figures to suit their agendas.

I'd agree that they are all contributing factors - in addition to the many deaths from C-19
I'm under no illusions that the daily Govt. figures aren't being fudged though - the ONS figures are much higher. and let's face it, Boris can't even give you truthful figures of the number of kids he's got....

By comparing the average monthly deaths during a period where essential cancer screening, treatment and operations are cancelled; sadly some of those untreated will have moved to special or palliative care and straight into the outbreak. Other people are too scared of Covid to attend hospital for coronary problems until such time they die or get admitted already fighting for their lives in a state of lowered immunity before contracting it, neighbours and friends can’t visit elderly people living alone to monitor them etc. could potentially be seen as manipulating the real figures because the number of deaths will be huge. That’s just the number of people who have passed away without the ‘monthly average’ standard of care in the system.
That’s like your horse winning the national, giving it coronavirus, cutting it’s leg off and wondering why it fell the following year... it’s the same horse

I often think that what they are saying can't be their agenda as they can't be this incompetent , but i'm afraid they are Boris was unprepared , the shock when his experts told him the severity of his actions , i can understand the people who put him there being in denial , it's ok to admit that you are wrong , i voted for Blair , i was wrong ! i am financially better off under the Tories , but our capitalist system is too corrupt , and this lot epitomize everything that is corrupt , it has to end or get drastically better !
When you list all the failings , it's monumental ,breathtaking , no pun intended , time and time again we have been sold short as they prioritize their response on firstly , jobs and profit for the donors to the party and mates over our well being ! their contempt for us daily in the miss handling , manipulation of figures ,outright lies , whoppers . and their suppression and avoidance of criticism ,
Regarding deaths from c 19 , it's obvious that the only way that we could achieve something close to a true figure is by counting the excess deaths beyond what is normal for the months since January for previous years and its over 50 000
Tinhead , it's nothing personal , but Boris is a useless pric*, surely even you must see it now

Your final paragraph is exactly what they have done. We’re still in their ‘delay’ phase, it was obviously just dressed up differently by government to make people think we could keep it contained but herd immunity and protection of health service capacity has always been their aim. You’ve said yourself it’s spread in such minuscule aerosol droplets that infection is nigh on impossible to stop.
That early speech where they discussed herd immunity and the protection of vulnerable individuals didn’t go down well across the media (we all know this is how policy is tested for public acceptance) so the very next morning Cummins and his mob had seemingly done a complete 180. Except they hadn’t and everything since has been crowd control by the media with manipulated figures to keep the public indoors, to stop rebellion and to amass huge debts to keep banks happy in the knowledge that their long term interests are rosy. What we see and hear is not the government response, it’s what they allow us to perceive it as. We (the general public) live our lives through social media algorithms and news cherrypicked by google, a government controlled by the likes of Cummins will simply exploit this as they did for the 2 previous big recent political events; which they won.
At least people haven’t been living on McDonald’s and kfc for a brief spell, who knows, the lockdown and scaremongering may well have saved a few fat ****s lives when they finally do get cv19.
We are told Covid has killed 40k+ I’d put money on around 30 of those simply dying WITH it, not from it.

In reply to Post #2798
One of the main points he keeps referring to regarding the WHO charts are the peaks in the charts , so , from the peak infection date there should be a lag of somewhere around 7 - 18 days until you have peak deaths , obviously , that's how long we have been told it takes to die from the onset of symptoms , i have not checked the WHO website to confirm this , i have been watching "worldometer " for my updates , these are the important figures that i have kept my eye on since c 19 started , and the charts clearly show the lag from peak infection to peak death's of around 6 - 14 days , again i have not looked at the WHO charts ,
possible conspiracy , for what reason ? are they seeing how we would react to an event like this , i have debated quite often with people how government's could or would go about reducing their populations , as the amount of people on the planet needs reducing to sustain life , makes sense if you've got too !
Yes we are over governed and controlled , cameras everywhere facial recognition etc , i fu**in hate it !
I have read a lot of reports as to why asians don't suffer as much as us with c19 , it is suggested that they have suffered more outbreaks throughout history of similar diseases , so could of built more immunity to c19 , maybe ?
If we are all destined to catch it , lets prepare to do so , prepare as many icu beds as possible and train as many as possible in treating people with c19 and put some orders in for ventilators with companies that actually make them not just donors to the bloody Tory party same goes for ppe then make sure that the number of infected does not go above the capacity of icu beds and nurses and Doctors to treat them , simple

It doesn't help with the 'tone' in which you write, it always seems that you are above us all, high and mighty and we must do and obey what you say.
There's plenty of down to the point and aggressive posting on here and I think we all accept we are not all going to agree and so give it back but your 'tone' is off putting. If you like it that way then that's fine but you may be limiting the responses you get back

I did mention the threat of aerosol transmission months ago ,along with the evidence to back it up , it's not hard to work out and there have been tests carried out to prove this and its a threat far beyond the 2 m guideline that we are told , just grab a handful of cement ( which is heavier and larger in size ) and throw it in the air and watch how far it carries ,
The WHO's guidance for health care workers entering a room containing someone who is infected is for them to wear a ffp 3 mask , so somebody at their most contagious ( after 3 days ) has no symptoms travels on the tube , bus etc can infect numerous people , it's not hard to work out ,
Chuffy , your link is bullshi* for the reasons i stated weeks ago ! remember , you did not respond to my debunking ,
I have come to the conclusion that under this useless , clueless bunch of fu**wits (following the evidence )all you can do is just use your common sense , i'm back on site with the lads , if we get it ,it's tough shi* , i have no faith or respect for anything Boris spouts , complete liability , again (following the evidence )

Bloody Hell..... You cannot SD in the house of commons. MP's can still vote electronically, which means they are doing their job . Rees-Mogg has disenfranchised MP'S and their constituents by what he's done. Guess you only like your own interpretation of democracy .
One thing we agree on. Bailout Barry is a knob but he's in charge of jack. And not as big a knob as the lying, greased piglet that's our PM and his cabal of other ****wits, liars and spivs in the cabinet.
"In that case it's ok for you and me as well. Are you about to jeopardise your and other peoples health? I'm not because I know it's wrong. Shame on Mr Gardiner "
No.I haven't and I won't. I nearly died from pneumonia last year and spent 6 weeks in intensive care, 4 of them in a medically induced coma. Rather like a lot of virus victims.
Shame on Mr Gardiner, indeed. But even greater shame on Cummings for what he did and even more shame on the PM for lacking the balls and integrity to sack him.

The question I ask people is why did the WHO say in February that a mask is useless for coronavirus but now say you have to wear one to be safe.
That's just it, they haven't changed their advice LINK
When and how to wear medical masks to protect against coronavirus?
If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19.
Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.
Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
If you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly.
|
|
|
|
|
#3031 5 Jun 2020 at 4.27pm | | |
|
A coronavirus is 0.125 of a micron and the breathing holes in an N95 mask are 0.3 microns so not only if you come into contact with the virus you are still breathing in the virus you will more than likely be clogging up some of the breathing holes on the mask with the virus that you will be carrying around with you that could then come into contact with anyone around you.
Also a mask stops 30% of your oxygen intake which in turn lowers your immune system.
Workers at the tills in shops wear gloves but do not change them so when someone gives them money or a card to pay if there is any virus on the cash or card it goes on the gloves and then would more than likely be passed onto the next person.
In my job I have to wear gloves and an apron when I see a patient then before I see the next person I have to change the gloves and apron, wash my hands and start afresh.
If people are going to catch this virus I think you have as much chance in a shop as you do a hospital.
The question I ask people is why did the WHO say in February that a mask is useless for coronavirus but now say you have to wear one to be safe.
There's so many mixed messages about all of this from the WHO and governments around the world.
All I would say is wash your hands with warm water and soap and turn off the news.

I'm torn on this one. Yes you're right a covering has got to be better than nothing but this virus is highly infectious and people touch stuff and then the mask. Then you have those who get a false sense of security and don't adhere to the rules. Just got back from a very small chemist which wasn't rammed but a little bit busier than normal.
You got 3 people being sensible and the other 3 who really haven't got a clue whatsoever and before you say it I was part of the former

When we are small we learn to cover our mouth when we cough / sneeze... to restrict the amount of 'germs' being spread.
Exactly, how did we ever manage that before 'Mask-gate', maybe some sort of tissue material could be employed, I should patent that idea

here's my simple thinking - which has been the same throughout....
of course face masks can help. not a 100% 'cure' but a benefit nonetheless. When we are small we learn to cover our mouth when we cough / sneeze... to restrict the amount of 'germs' being spread.
now that wasn't difficult was it? I wonder if Chris Whitty needs an advisor....

Funnily enough when I heard that I thought "apart from Mal we are all ****ed"
Just the latest in the long line of 'keep the people terrified' headlines following on from:
"there will 500,000 deaths in the UK"
"You can catch this off your shopping/parcels, better nuke them at the bottom of the garden or at very least get the bleach out"
"the kids, think of the kids.......Kawasaki (not Honda or Yamaha) disease"
"ethnic minorities where do you think you're going"
and now finally I can feel part of it with "all slap heads are dead men walking"

it's not ok for him tinhead.
and it's still not ok for the rest of them either. They should ALL step down. but as you say there's a different rule for them eh?
out of interest - does your helmet count as a mask on public transport now a bit of sense has prevailed over that issue?

Do you think it's right Johnson and Rees-Mogg ( who shut down parliament illegally) are compelling MP's to return to parliament when the threat level is still at 4?
The rest of the country is being asked to go back to work if SD can be achieved so why not them. If they didn't they'd be accused of one rule for us but another rule for them.
Getting back to Barry. So because someone else has done wrong it's ok for him to.
In that case it's ok for you and me as well. Are you about to jeopardise your and other peoples health? I'm not because I know it's wrong. Shame on Mr Gardiner
Anyway I'm fed up talking about him now the bloke is a useless knob

Does anyone think this is right for a man in his position? No.
Do you think it was right for Johnson our Prime Minister, to shake hands with infected people and carry on as he did?
Do you think it was right for Cummings to accumulate nearly 400 miles of driving with a child in the car, go to another part of the country and visit a hospital while suspecting he had the virus, which he conveniently found he hadn't when he was busted?
Do you think it's right Johnson and Rees-Mogg ( who shut down parliament illegally) are compelling MP's to return to parliament when the threat level is still at 4?

Now that we’ve established that people feel ‘black lives matter’
Are we still up for nuking the Chinese or turning low pay to no pay?

Maybe it's because he's not a major player in parliament - so not so much fuss about it. Coupled with the fact that there are bigger news stories right now.
Rosie Duffield did the right thing - she apologised and resigned. Others still refuse to do either, so he maybe thinks he doesn't need to.
We've got rain and hail here - most effective way to keep people distanced I've seen so far!
edit - chuffy, that stats video is hard on the brain! no wonder Hancock can't get them right

Yeah great baiting needles, mines green
When in the shadow cabinet he seemed to be one of those that done very little except for political point scoring.
Still surprised this hasn't caused more of a stir though.

I applaud his intention - but his execution of it leaves him open to criticism.
Nothing wrong with his intention but I'd say his execution is the worst example of social distancing rule breaking to date and I'm surprised more hasn't been made of it.

Maybe he should have done in in Parliament so that Kier Starmer wouldn't have had to remind Boris to condemn what happened to George Floyd...
Perhaps he should step down - but then so should others who haven't.

Barry Gardiner is a liability. Well meaning, but useless.
His position is one of very little responsibility though, unlike Boris 'handshake' Johnson and Dominic 'eye test' Cummings.
Edit: His baiting needles are good though, mine must be 30 years old.
