    I keep watching the news & daily updates but I wish they’d use other sayings/strap lines now

    I now shout at the TV when I hear (to name but a few):
    1. Flatten the curve!
    2. Wrestle it to the ground!
    3. Done the right thing at the right time!
    4. Ramping it up!
    5. Stay at home, protect the nhs, save lives!

    1. Curve, bloody curve! They mean less deaths!
    2. Wrestle? It’s not Big Daddy! (Or Mick McManus for us older ones or some WWF bod for younger ones)
    3. Right thing, right time? Nope you haven’t!
    4. Ramping? When will it be ramped up? You’ve been doing this for weeks? Weasel words!
    5 Stay, protect, save? I know, I bloody know! I can read!

    This hasn’t been a success! You’ve told us to distance, Boris, then shake hands! “Take back control of our borders” whilst leaving them open unchecked & untested!

    As posted by someone on here a few weeks ago, that one's a lot easier to take if you just mentally add "F*ck Leeds" to the end.

    Following the Science, which is the new get Brexit done. After having A for austerity, B for Brexit and C for Coronavirus I dread to think what D will be and what three word phrase they will pump out all the time for it.

    I've not heard that one, that's brilliant - pretty much because it sounds like the exact opposite of what people should be doing during a time of social distancing.

    'The NHS is coping very well....'

    Tell that to the hundreds of people who have appointments/treatments - some life-saving - cancelled.

    Stopped watching it weeks ago. As a viewing experience, it's as dry as sticks.

    Anyone who suffers from insomnia would do well to record it and watch it late at night. They would be out for the count before you could say one sheep, two sheep....

    That's a strange thing to get annoyed about.

    Language evolves.

    "Ramping up testing" as you say, perticularly annoying as the media just repeated the govt line for about 4 weeks before realising they were just bull$hitting them. Bunch of useless parrots.
