Said it before, set up all polling stations as a vaccination station for a week. Most dead local and most folk can walk to one. Sorted. Piece of piss.😃 Did you see the bellends queuing up at mcdonalds? It would be a free for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the london one was being used? Either way, it presumably can only be for two reasons We dont need them We cant staff em If its the latter, yet more waste If its the former....

Escobarp Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I can’t be arsed searching but there is a post from one poster at least (not casino I don’t think) criticising them for not having enough ventilators and then at a later date criticising them for wasting money on ventilators. Sums it all up in a nutshell really Edited December 29, 2020 by Escobarp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted December 29, 2020 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2020 £220m seems a snip of a risk to throw up some hospitals, whether they could be staffed or not, compared to £12b on the track and trace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they weren’t needed why do we need to staff them anyway? Which was the initial point. but you’ve then just flagged another issue that we didn’t have the staff so I pointed out that the army could have done but if we didn’t need them anyway we could have the smallest or biggest army in the world to staff or not staff them it wouldn’t make a jot or difference.

Was the army not to staff them ? do we not have an army anymore? but we didn’t need them so the point about staffing them was a moot one and we could’ve staffed then as you’ve just confirmed we have an army still? anyway it’s too early for roundabouts.

Or does somebody ask the army if the idea has merit Maybe its just me, but it seems an obvious question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 29, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2020 It may have been possible to staff them partially, with army help etc, if so many of them weren't off sick with covid. Guess we'll never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
