Off Topic Corona virus - non football

Should have said they decided not to join.

 

Allegedly released by Nicola Sturgeon. This from November 2019.

 

That sums it up as well as anyone could tbh ...

... quite sad really.

 

Well in the middle of a global Pandemic that has cost hundreds of 1,000's of lives we have the most incompetent set of self serving, bumbling arseholes.

A track and trace programme that relies on me knowing who I came into contact with, testing figures now magically unavailable, lockdown carried out to late, quarantine at airports 8 weeks after we lockdown, ppe shortages for all key nhs and care home staff, the list goes on....

Then an advisor to the PM being given protection like never before.

Its an absolute **** show, it embarrassing, devasting and frankly I'm struggling with it all.

As much as I hate what Thatcher did to my region, I can't imagine her or her cabinet allowing this cluster **** to happen or continue

 

Johnson came in to 'Get Brexit done' which he repeated a billion times.

If he'd been allowed to pursue that course he may have done a good job..

But he's failed to handle this crisis and I'm sure he regrets becoming PM.

The government should be a crack team of professionals capable of getting the job done ...

... these people look like a bunch of dads making up the numbers when the team bus broke down.

It's a shambles that no other European country has managed.

 

F***me , if you're gonna f*** up , f***up to the best of your ability. And boy have these parasites managed it. A few weeks ago when Boris was SUPPOSEDLY I'll I saw people wishing him well who I know for a fact wouldn't have a couple of years ago. To make a bollocks of it to this degree is like throwing away a 12 point lead to put it in football terms.

 

Never suggested that Norway was part of the EU.
I was only using the word ‘union’ as a vehicle to show ‘unity is strength‘.
Then showing that the strength Shown now by the EU was good for its members - while the independant actors (eg the UK) had thus to fend for themselves and not be recipients of a share of the proposed €750 BILLION.

 

Boris and his crew haven't got a f**king clue - I worry about this country I really do

 

It mirrors our club's situation. A bunch of incompetent, over priveleged ****ers coming in with platitudes of how they "get" their "customers", then claiming that everything is going great despite evidence to the contrary that a blind man can see. Cowboys will always get found out. For Boris Johnson see Stewart Donald. For Demonic Cummings see Charlie Methven.

 

It could get worse...

 

213 more deaths last 24hrs

 

I've just watched a documentary on marijuana.
I think all shows should be watched this way.

 

Nothing shows respect more than the violent random looting of a black man's store.

 

I'm not fond of politicians of any Party, but some of the criticism the current Government is getting seems more than a tad OTT.

Should the lockdown have been brought in three weeks earlier?
Yes, with the benefit of hindsight.
Was there an upsurge of public opinion clamouring for this at the time?
NO.
Should Testing Kits and protective items have been contracted for in their millions, many weeks in advance of their been needed.
Yes'
Were We the public asking for this.
No.
Did we all, government, Opposition and Public underestimate what was going to happen
YES.

And you can do this with almost any question adding, were the opposition asking as well.
(they weren't).

So, had Jeremy won the last Election, would his lot have done better?
Certainly the daily briefing might have been more fun with Dianne Abbot explaining the statistics!!


Sir Kier Starmer is telling us that the rather unpleasant Mr Cumming should have been sacked.
The Durham Police on the other hand say that their latest investigations indicate that it isn't obvious that the rules have been broken and even if they had been the nature of the offence would not have warranted any further action.
Cummings needs to be in a union for his own protection if he can be sacked when not guilty of any offence.

Sir Kier wasn't so keen as DPP to take action against Saville even when there was evidence.

Were I a Special Adviser to Sir Kier, I'd suggest that this wasn't the time to jump onto political bandwagons specially if that wagon had only three wheels.

So those of you who wish to be critical, where have you been hiding for the last couple of months.

Anybody can be wise after the event. EVEN me.
It's foresight that's needed not hindsight.

So, though I'm very much in favour of giving ALL Politicians a good (verbal) kicking, from time to time, it's a bit naïve to assume that only one side is capable of being incompetent, platitudenal or patronising.
Those virus's affect all MP's as soon as the first take their Seat's.

 

Somehow I cannot see Kier Starmer going round hospitals insisting on shaking hands with Covid19+ patients unsurprisingly catching it himself. We have the worst record of deaths per capita in all of the developed world, and are an island with the seas as a natural defence. It is almost impossible for any other party (including Labour) to have done any worse.

 

And a lot of it isn't.

If any responsible PM wanted to start things off properly he wouldn't be boasting about shaking hands with people who may well be infected ...

... then shaking hands with other people who may not be infected.

That's absolute stupidity.

 

I couldn't care less if the PM contracted the virus by shaking hands ...

... but I do care that he passed it on by shaking hands with other people.

What a knacker.
