And when he continues to ignore counter arguments, deliberately chooses not to reply to points that prove him wrong and continues being smug beyond smug, what then? That's when he becomes a C-bomb, and he is rightly called out on this.
I don't know what a C-bomb is! Just shows how down with the kids I am! He can be called out without the nasty comments imo. If we resort to such tactics then we are just as bad as the people we are calling out surely. Ignore the guy. As to his smugness I didn't read that into him whatever else I thought tbh. And several times he did respond so I don't think he chose not to reply. Maybe he got fed up of not replying to every single post. I dunno. Anyway...... I've had my say. Cheers.
Anyone seen Boris? There's 3 blokes broadcasting from his downstairs hallway. You'd think he might pop in for a look.
The *Official* UK death toll (28000) is now higher than that from Africa, Asia, South America *and* Australasia *combined* (population ~6 billion people). The unofficial number of excess deaths is now estimated at 50000 in 2 months. The number of tests carried out today is under 100000 again, and the test capacity is 108000 - or 14000 less than the tests claimed on Saturday. The Nightingale hospital in London is now closing but it never had the nursing staff to provide the capacity it claimed to have and only ever took about 40 patients. How is any one of those not resignation territory for all concerned...?
So they've gone from "people tested" to "capacity" (which they got called out for and dropped), to "Tests in total" back to "capacity" and still can't hit the target
It’s pathetic that someone @NeilMol should start a thread to ‘gloat’ about hitting a target (whether a lie or not) when according to other threads here, people can’t get a test in Barnsley and can’t go to work in frontline jobs or are getting ill as a result. in fact I believe it shows a complete lack of human decency, but what do I know?
As someone who in all likelihood has had Covid-19, and got really quite ill with it, but was not allowed a test, I do find the OP in very bad taste. Not particularly on a personal level. But I'm back at work now. I work with a lot of people I really care about, I love the company I work for and my colleagues.We can't, as a company, say I've had the virus. I am, officially, as susceptible to Covid-19 now and as likely to pass it on to my colleagues as I was before I had three weeks off work. I really don't like that.
One of the 5 tests for ending lockdown is they want daily infections to do down. Yet they announce under 63,000 people have been tested in the last 24 hours. They need to be testing their beloved 100000 target every single day that they haven't yet reached once.
With a completely random number of tests conducted on a constantly shifting test group over a period of time - how the hell are they going to prove a downward trend.
They have to up their game if they want these ridiculous rules to come in.... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...g-banned-no-sharing-pens-canteens-closed.html Dunno which is the most stupid. Don't share a pen or desk but you're going to be sharing the same toilet. Queue to get in retail outlets but in town centres you will be blocking paths and entrances to other shops and when it gets back to the colder wetter months people aren't going to queue to get in.
Just this ps @NeilMol any chance you can explain how we did over 122000 tests when as of yesterday the maximum capacity had only reached 108000 - thats if you believe a word that comes from Hancocks mouth - though I expect he is unlikely to be understating the the figure
I thought the excuse was it's all to do with weekend and Bank Holiday. The virus clearly had a few days off for a break in Skegness so no biggy.
You can change the title of this thread to 200,000 now after today's PMQs. I look forward to the target being met.
