    note the number of deaths per million
    Today on that site.

    France: the French government continues to report unreliable and incorrect data on almost a daily basis.

    Given up with Labour a long time ago now, don't really support any of the parties anymore. I do like Boris a bit though and think he couldn't have had a worse set of circumstances happening to country/world walking into no.10 and whatever choices he's been having to make during this pandemic that he was gonna have sh1t shovelled in his face either way.

    Think we should be on lockdown til June at least though and I hope they end the Prem season early instead of continuing it on.

    whoa, hang on there mate, get off your high horse.

    I am not a Labour supporter nor a conservative one.

    I have and never will vote as i think they are all as corrupt as each other.

    An attack

    Go and change your tampon. What have we achieved ? the government failed to attend 4 meetings regarding the seroiusness of the outbreak. The traceability for covid19 shows it was in the UK in January yet nothing was done until mid March.

    I dont have any faith in either government as thay all want to line their own pockets.

    I do however know for a fact that the figures in the public domain are massively flawed and its a great deal higher.

    Could not agree with you more. People making excuses for Johnson's abysmal handling of this pandemic and to add to that the country has seen a succession of cabinet members woeful response's in his absence. It amazes me how many people are fooled by the constant obfuscation of the facts. So this government should not be held to account as poor old Bojo means well! Mind given that the board appears to be overwhelmingly in favour of a Saudi takeover nothing surprises me with football fans. It's a strange world we live in when people think that politics do not matter when it suits.

    The government have been slow and incompetent in many ways but the NHS, the public and parts of the private sector have behaved magnificently. The government was completely complacent in the first six weeks and the result is the very high death rate in common with Italy, Spain and the US but in total contrast to Germany. I suspect there will be a few heads rolling when the dust settles but the need to get the economy up and running will be supported by the media, the public and business. Hence, the dust will settle all too soon. let`s hope we all remember who stepped up to the plate and who didn`t. I`d hope to see a fairer settlement for those lower down the food chain too. It was amazing when so many so called ordinary people had to live on UC how fast they put it up. Seems the ordinary people who were for whatever reason consigned to UC before that, obviously didn`t deserve the extra money. A few lessons to be learned here I think.

    The government are saying the nation needs football.

    In Reality it's the hundreds of millions of pound notes which are involved.

    Money plan and simple.

    I'll welcome a return to football in any shape or form.

    We need to get on with living; I know that people have lost their lives and I'm not down playing anything. I just think we have 'flattened the curve' enough now.

    Life has to start returning to some form of normality.

    The figures are manipulated massively and it will come back to bite Boris in the arse once the truth gets out.
    The new Labour leader will be able to stroll along to number 10 and take over when the truth is exposed.
    a week ago or so an "expert" came out with the statement that the UK would have the highest deaths in europe After the gasps finished he went on to say of course we wil,l we have the biggest population - check the figures - we are lower than spain and italy deaths per million .Figures manipulated?- well they come from the ONS and health service both independant of the government who have all along relied on the boffins for actions . Boris will get kicked out and labour will march in , so your not anti boris um.

    We are at present but only just and ours is expanding at a quicker rate than the others around us so in a couple of weeks we could be top of the league, paticularly if the government put up their hands and disclosed THE TRUE FIGURES.

    I am an ex coal miner and Labour Party delegate but I will never vote for the present day party full of Marxist extremists,they have never learned from failed Marxist governments in the past.They all had to keep populations under control with secret police and harsh punishments,nowt in the shops when I visited Russia,Poland,Ukraine and Romania in the 1970s when I was in the Merchant Navy.Like all the midlands ex coal mine constituencies we switched to conservative to keep out the Marxists.As for criticising the government hindsight is a wonderful thing,when the story first broke anyone flying back from the Far East was put in Quarintine for two weeks,the government then shut pubs restaurents,sports grounds etc,It is the know all ignorant people of this country (minority) that have spread covid 19.
