    China own most of America's debt is probably the biggest reason and after this the whole Western world will probably need someone to buy more of their debt so they can stimulate their economies.

    I honestly don't see how punishing China like that will help. You need a country like China at the table, not banish them from it. The world needs China to keep moving towards openness, not giving them more reasons to be secretive.

    Being secretive is hard wired into the Chinese tbh.

    I don't think it'll persuade a single person to stay at home ...

    ... but I don't begrudge these lads for feeling involved and having a laugh at the same time tbh.

    There's been one minister, after another, giving interviews and some have been quite impressive.

    I've had the odd shout at the telly but I sat watching this woman in stunned silence.

    I've very little time for Piers Morgan and only came across this as I went through to watch Ch4.

    But, I have to say, I agreed with him on this ... the 'Care Minister' didn't have a single coherent answer and didn't even seem to care.

    She started every response with 'So', as if she was reading from a crib sheet and totally ignored every question.

    It was all just a series of catchphrases like 'rolling out' 'proper kit being delivered' and 'lead by science' none of which actually mean anything.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...Piers-Morgan-asks-4-000-care-home-deaths.html

    "Care minister Helen Whately was blasted today for sniggering in a car crash TV interview."

    I watched her interview on BBC Breakfast this morning, and it was embarrassing . . . . she looks a mess, she didn't answer a question, and she seemed to be smiling/laughing when asked about deaths <doh>

    What an uncaring twat <steam>

    It's the lack of answers that grinds on you ...

    ... seriously, what's the point of going on if you're just going to flannel?

    The big hitters can bluff their way through but she just looked like some scrote pleased to be on the telly.

    Most of the NHS staff, care home workers, etc have given better interviews ...

    ... even the old soldier who's 99, deaf and shakes more than Elvis in his prime.

    I am not surprised in the slightest by that video. Just shows the utter contempt these people have for the people that they serve, and who pay them to serve as well. They consider us cannon fodder or colateral damage just like their rich "mummies and daddies" did before them. Filth the lot of them. Or as a wise man once said "Lower than vermin".

    To be fair mate, I did warn you against 'glimmers of hope' if there's a slight dip on a particular day.

    We're still in a massive crisis and only time will tell how long there's still to go.

    Jerry,
    It's only a few days ago you were extolling an article in the Daily Mail so you could have a dig at the Tories.
    Wish you'd make your mind up.
