Site Supporter Popular Post Spider Posted June 5, 2020 Site Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 There’s an overwhelming sense that they’ve pulled the ladder up and are just keeping us happy and numb with free money. Thats generally a Labour tactic, which suggests to me that they are really treading water. If I’m honest, they had my sympathy and support - this is just off the scale and you can only prepare so much. But as soon as they let Cummings emerge from the shadows as the real power, they totally lost the plot. He fucked up and deserved to be potted, entirely for the message it would have sent. Instead, they chose to appear like the feeble, self-serving Tory cunts we knew deep down that they are. And in doing so, expedited the waves of criticism and disgust they have received. That one failure will be the sword they will be remembered for falling on. They know it, too. You can already see the exit strategies being paved by the likes of Hancock. A bit of a mess, chaps.

Moderators Casino Posted June 5, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 5, 2020 Fair enough I suspect you and I are at opposite ends of the spectrum regarding what should've been done, but it's clear to me, half in, half out isn't an option Commit to something, don't play at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 We won't end up having to worry about contact tracing at work, here's how it seems they are running it in Preston. Lad got his test kit and was told to do it on Thursday and it would be picked up. He did the test and when they came to pick it up by the time he got to the door they had fucked off. He rang them and they said he would have to do another test and it would be Monday before he got it. Asked him how he was feeling, he said he'd had 4 really bad days but was feeling a lot better, and they said as Monday would be a week after he reported it then if he felt well he could crack on with no test and come in work.

Tombwfc Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 What's herd immunity without any guarantee of immunity? The idea we could've just carried on and stiff upper lipped our way through hundreds of thousands of deaths is a fantasy. No Nightingale hospitals, no testing, no PPE. At some point there would've been a tipping point and we would've had to lock down. Decisive, early action is what has worked across the board so far. And what we should be doing now.
