You should find somewhere else to hang out.

BTW, my mum was one of up to a thousand people who died in carehomes in the period whilst Boris was in hospital. You think people like me owe him any sentiment, any special respect for being PM, or good old Boris? Get away with you.

Sorry about your mum.

Sorry about your mum.

I'm pretty sure it's not your fault. Don't know how to feel or act. We had lots of time to prepare. I cried several times last year knowing how much I'd missed her already, but I know she wouldn't have wanted to hang around if in pain or seriously debilitated. Queenie's speech was spot on. Devestated me, I hung around crying at the loss of her story, because it meant something that she saw the end of WW2, saw the film from Bersen-Belgen at the cinema, told me about the bombers flying over her house. And I knew she was at that exact moment with people of that generation. The care home had union jacks and is furnished in a way which people of that generation seem to like. Blown away. She died a couple of days later. One of many. There still isn't a death certificate yet. I hope to god she was comfortable and not scared by it all. But she had an interesting attitude to death, was pro-euthanasia, had already lost her brother and sister, so I'm hopeful. I get to scatter her ashes over the fields that overlook the valley where the planes were flying towards. I'm ok with it. What happened in the carehomes, why infected patients were sent back there, what happened with PPE supply, that's a question which I will be quietly watching get answered in the years to come. Maybe decades. I'm patient, I've got my whole fucking life ahead of me.

Personally I guess there's no way I can ever quite expect to forget that the fat twat managed to steal that moment by getting sent to the hospital after catching the virus, having blatently not followed his own social distancing measures, and told people not to visit their elderly relatives, but of course he'd visit his mummy. Saw a middle aged woman outside my flat the next day carrying a present on the way to hers.

I guarantee one thing. He'll never take responsibility. Ever. There'll be nothing but shit eating grins and soppy eyes. Deflection onto the WHO, the NHS, Public Health England. By the time the dust settles, we'll be playing Brexit games again.

It'll never change the fact that we wasted months when we could have been stockpiling PPE, working out supply lines, finding tests and strategising. Instead he let himself be led down the wrong path by some collosal and collosally arrogant idiots, and then when he had to do something, he started to man up, but ultimately this is not a fellow who will ever find it in himself to tell people what they didn't want to hear, not without making sure they understand he doesn't really mean it.

And if the day comes, and it's finally revealed why COBRA membership and advice has mysteriously, suddenly, become classified information - during a national emergency... but an international pandemic - I'm going to end years of sobriety, because I certainly will need a stiff fucking drink before reading that.

whatever you do don't watch quietly - ask the question - shout it from the fucking roof tops. We all need to because if not our being quiet and compliant will let the fuckers get away with it - in this pandemic the elderly have been sacrificed. I watched my mum die from cancer 15 years ago and it was awful something I wouldn't want anyone to go through. I dread to think what nurses are carers have seen already this last month

I am sorry to say if you think there has been a single MP of any note in recent times that is not first and foremost for themselves in normal times, I would love to try a £20 bag of yours please.

As for how it will pan out in comparison to other countries and in what ways we will have to wait and see. One thing I can say is that we do not seem to have seen the scenes of people on floors and trolleys that we have in Spain and Italy. We have a bigger population than either of those countries, so whilst I am far from being a lover of the Tories there is nothing to say they have fucked up more than any other government.

Ah the 'all politicians are the same' argument used by those that seek to excuse the behaviour of their chosen team. It is a shallow argument that does not stand up to scrutiny.

You are right we have not seen the horrors we saw from Italy and Spain, indeed we have seen next to nothing from inside our hospitals. It is my understanding that TV crews are banned from filming.

There is a massive amount of evidence that the Tories have fucked up and continue to fuck up. You choose not to see it, that is up to you.

I think I may have to remind you that I have not said or even loosely suggested that the Tories have'nt fucked up. Quite the opposite infact. I am sure there will be more than enough to justify scathing criticism in due course. I am sure non of our resident lefties will be disappointed. The fact is that the whole world have been caught with their pants round their ankles. I doubt a single one has got it right and most will have fucked up big time and the extent of fuck ups will not be clear for quite some time yet.

When it comes to blaming politicians on this one, its simple across the world governments starting with Blair and worldwide same timeline have completely ignored warnings of this happening by the scientific community. They have ignored the warnings given by Sars, Swine Flu, Ebola, not just here but across the world.

Ross Kemp was filmed this evening, but you can hardly blame the general rule being to not have film crews and journos getting in the way whilst lives are being lost. There is no ulterior motive to a lack of filmed live coverage in the ICU wards across the country.

Nor have I suggested all politicians are the same, I simply expressed a view that you would be pushed to find one for whom self interest and progression is not their prime motive. That how they became MPs in the first place.

 

[mcfc1632]

Typical response, you know better than me fair play to you
Sound like a momentum member

What you wrote and what you meant was entirely clear to anyone reading with objectivity and without an agenda

That you were commenting in the context of 'here and now' of recent elections was entirely clear

 

[lonestay]

Well to paraphrase a well known saying, it looks like a Boris was just for Christmas and not for life !

“Excuse the behaviour of your chosen team”.

Your chosen team are currently being investigated by the EHRC for institutionalised antisemitism you weapon.

The only party in the UK, other than the BNP of all people, in history.

You lot continue to say it’s a media smear campaign despite the fact your Shadow Chancellor during the time, John McDonnell, admitted it was a ‘stain’ on the party.

The Tories are fucking up and will continue to but they’ve also done some good things, like preparing ICU’s and ventilators, that are more than coping with demands and sorting the economic side of the problem, beyond what even their critics could have imagined.

PPE for NHS staff and testing has been very poor, as have been and continue to be travel restrictions from elsewhere - we’ve still got fuckers flying in from New York!

But the fact is, even the most competent government would make mistakes being in charge of the UK right now.

And before you say, my team was the LibDems last time, if we’re doing teams and I may be tempted to vote for Starmer if he gets lunatics like you away from deciding policy.

....or he is recuperating on medical advice like many others are who have had and thankfully have come through this virus?

You showing no compassion or empathy isn't a surprise though.
