Instead we get endless nonsense about clapping for the NHS and Heroes Half Hoyr and other endless propaganda s**t. The NHS need PPE and testing, not clapping. They will never ever hold them to account, they are 100% complicit in state propaganda. I get pilloried for this by certain folk in here. But we saw yesterday that the BBC just repeats the lies of WM as if they were fact, despite the lies being uncovered the day before. This is shameless and hopefully more people will see through the beeb for the state broadcaster that it is. Stop watching and get their untainted news elsewhere. the difference between holyrood and the baying rabble of wm has never been so marked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shropshire_killie Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 If he's only in for minor symptoms and checks and in his own words "still in charge", let's see him then. I imagine he wont like being known as the leader who got ill very quickly when the UK was in crisis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all standard behaviour from politicians though. How to stand up, be seen, let out waffle and not be accountable. I'd be very surprised if there isn't an inquest into the handling of this in years to come. I'd be even more surprised if these politicians don't already have advisers telling them... there's going to be an inquest about this one day.... adjust your language 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish government lacking credibility over their officials not following their own advice. This falls into the same category.

Dunno if it's as stark as 50/50.but they don't admit anybody to ICU as a "precaution". They haven't got the capacity. If he is in ICU he is ver ill. There has to be a very serious possibility might not make it. What disturbs me is the fact that his Cabinet don't seem to be very clear in who is and will be running the country. Decision making seems to be too much for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike other countries such as the US, there is no formal procedure for someone to replace the PM in the event of his/her incapacity. I expect things will be clearer after today’s cabinet meeting. Meantime, maybe cut them some slack in the middle of a mounting crisis, unprecedented in peace time.

Loans to businesses a classic example of free market pish, when Grants or even a simple f**k it, everyone in your house and we will pay your salaries effort. Their efforts to obtain ventilators is pure spin and lining their own pockets again. Surely someone somewhere would have had a concrete plan for this eventuality? Surely it wasnt beyond the realms of possibility that the main decision makers could contract the illness? And surely to f**k theres someone better than Raab to fill the void when it did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepies Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Whatever your political persuasion surely everyone is wishing him a speedy recovery. I didn’t vote for him either but being in an intensive care unit whilst so poorly and no loved ones being allowed to visit must be terrifying.

Hope he survives because when this is over I personally think he is going to be taken to task for his as Zorro stated his shambolic handling of the UK Covid-19 response. From allowing Cheltenham race goers to spread the virus more quickly over the whole of the UK. Herd immunity at it's best & then shaking hands & boasting about it with everybody in a hospital where he said there was Coronavirus patients. Is it any wonder that he, his partner & half his cabinet have it now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
