The more we learn the worse it gets.

Thanks. I was wondering about when the UK knew, as US media reported on alleged intelligence informing them of an illness going around in China that was affecting social and work life back in November.

Undoubtedly the government was all giddy with the excitement of Brexit Day and wasn’t really focussing on the important stuff as much as it should have.  Now we have the combined horrors of a worldwide recession AND the effects of a probable no-deal Brexit to look forward to, I for one can hardly wait... :-(


Looking on the bright side, the UK might have got used to supply chain disruptions and cut-throat competition by Jan 1.

And, possibly, Dettol Don helping to run the NHS.

Don’t even joke about that Carana.

Seriously, who - except the hedge fund Brexiteers - will benefit from NOT requesting an extension in the midst of this pandemic chaos? The deadline to ask for one is the end of June.

Not sure how even the hedge fund Brexiteers will benefit by it now.  We’re all f..ked including them.

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure. Shorting the £, airlines... just about everything except bog basics. Literally and metaphorically.

I've also noticed something else that I find intriguing.

- There's little that I've ever agree with Piers Morgan about.
- Nor... HERE'S.... Nigel (as the old US shows used to introduce their star guests).

I'm wary. Not of the fact that I agree with them on these points, but because their narratives have suddenly changed so much.

If one tactic doesn't work, try another, even if it's 120 degrees away from your last passionate outcry.

Get people back on board, then slowly change direction to the original destination. Whatever that is.

ETA: Both are known Trump fans,  and, IMO, he's a puppet who hasn't quite worked to script...

I think its puts into perspective all the criticism youve posted re boris...lots of left wing bias. You may have noticed the positive article today praising his handling of the situation. Whereas corbyn....who you praise..disobeyed the official expert scientific advice by going to the commons when he didnt need to and taking his wife...who didnt need to go. I wont bother describing his brothers actions...a pair of idiots who have your support .

Puts into perspective? In what world ? Literally thousands of doctors, nurses, carers etc etc have spoken out about the lack of PPE. Can I ask why one alleged nurse from an anonymous hospital has convinced you otherwise?

I read an article where the army who was distributing the PPE said NHS Engalnd had got it wrong and that some hospitals didnt have enough and some had too much. We may well overall have a lack of the necessary ppe but i dont see that as a fault of  Boris. I think youll find theres a worldwide shortage...is it all Boris' fault.

remeber what richard Horton, one of the govt biggest left wing critics was saying about corona virus....he was aying  afuss about nothing more or less

No it’s not ALL Boris’s fault. It’s also the fault of the previous  Tory government who didn’t implement the recommendations highlighted in a Operation Cygnus.

As to Richard Horton, I think over 20,000 deaths have proved him wrong.
