Coronavirus (2021) thread

Morgan should be sat on by that useless lump of lard he interviewed last night until he can shout no more the hypocritical priveliged prick.

Has Susanna Reid really put on that much weight?

Her and Piers are a couple of fraudsters.

One using his upper class contacts to remain in the business despite his sacking at the Mirror for running fabricated photos of British soldiers pissing on Iraqi POWs.

And the other one, don't get me started. A fucking no-mark, pushed front and centre just because the BBC didn't know who next to push off the sofa to do Strictly.

Cue, doe-eyed cuts to camera, dumping her husband and ITV being foolish enough to think they were getting a professional journalist.

She is merely wank bank material for those who still read the Daily Mail and don't get it anymore from the missus, getting some final stirrings at the soupcon of a Hobbs or fucking bargain bucket Laura Ashley label.

Cunts, the both of them.

I'm sure Jimmy Crankie deliberately comes out with her plans to make it look as she is leading the way and it is purely for show. She seems to preempt any new measures by acouple of hours by holding her press conference at lunchtime when the Englands is generally at 5pm

Best to to know what and who you are talking about before commenting probably.

"Jimmy Crankie"? - What has Ruth (soon to be Lady) Davidson got to do with this?

I do not see why telling the facts about vaccine supply numbers in next few weeks is a political ploy.

Of course, Scottish nationalist ministers do sometimes play the nationalist card. Its why they exist.

But there was not one peep of that here. It was simple statement of fact the public of Scotland AND the UK are entitled to know.

And blaming the timing of the press conference as a way to get one up on Boris is surely silly as nothing stopped them going on Breakfast TV and announcing it then or scheduling press conferences at 11 am if needs be - not 12 20 pm (as Scotland do every week day and have for months and months so hardly difficult to counter).

The UK government call them at about 3 or 4 hours notice as it is.

For me this is not about politics at all. Its about being clearly told what is going on and why that matters. And it was entirely about Scotland. No idea to this moment what the England position is. We are just left guessing until told. That is the real problem here. Clarity.

Disagree by all means.

Research into links between people taking their own lives and Covid restrictions is very difficult, but such as it is, seems to show very little connection, and even some evidence that lockdowns actually reduce the incidence.

None of which is to imply that lockdowns are ok, or that some people have not been terribly affected by them.

Well said. They lead the cheerleading for tougher restrictions and penalties everytime I've caught it. Of course that's easy to do when you live in a property with plenty of space both indoors and out and earn in a year what most people do in ten. I'm not going to write what I'd do to a lot of these people as I'd go into a very dark place indeed.

I hope you're correct, feels a reach though. Literally everyone I know in my life is more miserable/fed up than they've probably ever been. I can imagine that goes for pretty much everyone else on here too. I can't see how that doesn't have very negative consequences sadly.
