It's not Him directly he's now just a gob on legs. its some "scientific" advisers. BBC has a report with no science present that i've seen as yet. Imagine my shock. The longer it goes on the more like psychological torture it becomes. They have taken away all our pleasures and ability to plan for the future; they are even telling you next year there is probably no Olympic games as an instance. There is no end in sight from the Wuhan torture and its a given I reckon based on the BBC's snide hints they will smash your Christmas as well with Wuhan virus or a mark 2 version with the "Second" or "Third Wave". Maybe we should take bets for the date of the "Fourth" wave. Economically and psychologically we are being destroyed and demoralised just ready for the the "Reset" as per the World Economic forum website. international travel for you will be a rarity if you ever get to do it. They take all the assets and you get next to nothing; welcome to the new Marxism and eco-fascist state; your just a sheep. Anyone like to bet as to when we return to normality??

Oh, just a moment, have a look at the global death rates caused by COVID-19, then, perhaps revaluate your comments ?

[sinkov]

"Was the “surge” in cases in the North West that prompted the Government to impose a local lockdown on more than four million people due to 14 additional people testing positive? It certainly looks that way.
The ONS infection survey data showing that the number of infected people had risen from 0.05% of the population to 0.07% (still below the level of an epidemic), was based on just 59 people testing positive out of 116,026 swab tests over a six-week period. In the previous period, 45 people tested positive out of 114,674, which means the tipping point for a northern lockdown may have rested on only 14 extra positive tests. That’s well within the confidence interval so it’s perfectly possible that there’s been no increase at all and next week the numbers will fall.
If you compare the most recent week’s ONS data it shows 24 people testing positive out of 28,325, compared to 19 out of 31,542 the previous week. So a total increase of five.
Is this “the data” Matt Hancock referred to in his Twitter thread on Friday night when he announced the new restrictions?

No wonder some Tory MPs in “red wall” seats were furious when they heard the news. The Telegraph has more.
“They were furious. They were calling it an outrage. One of them was all over the place, screaming his head off,” said a Labour MP who witnessed the row unfold. “These are Tories who think Boris Johnson can do no wrong, and you could see the scales falling from their eyes.”
Sir Graham Brady, the Chairman of the Conservative backbench 1922 Committee and the MP for Altrincham and Sale West, said: “These new restrictions have been introduced over a large area, even though there are massive variations in infection rates. It is unfortunate that these restrictions were introduced so quickly and without consultation.”
Another senior Tory, with an affected northern seat, said: “I just think there remains a default position of extreme caution which jars with the reality that we may have to live with Covid for a very long time and we have to get on with life.”

Insanity hardly begins to cover it. :mad:

We can all read map, we can all count, we all know the problems Covid is causing worldwide. What we're discussing on this msgboard is our government's chaotic, shambolic, incoherent reaction to it, which is devastating the economy, disrupting millions of lives, putting millions out of work and will consequently lead to far more tragic loss of life than Covid is causing, or ever will cause.

We speak to family -to friends, the postman, shop workers, the old couple walking their dog, the big lady in the chippy etc etc etc..."who'd you or your family know thats lost someone to this Covid malarky" I ask....same response from them all, they dont. The nearest i've got was a family friend who's father (in his 90s) was living in a nursing home for the last few years and was on his last legs with many a health problem, he popped it, and guess what - it was labelled as a Covid death - suffice to say, the family was not happy with that result.

I have a customer who owns an upmarket coffee bar in Preston. She is a truly admirable, lovely woman who was struck with COVID-19 in February and survived it. She had a life threatening blood clot/thrombosis in March and was diagnosed with cancer in April.

She is currently undergoing radiation chemotherapy, has continually paid her staff, did not receive any Government financial help and says another "needless" lockdown will finally kill her business and in all probability her too.

Blow Job and his cabal of cretins do not give a flying phuck about anyone or anything north of Watford. The Postcode Lottery will protect the south of England and obliterate the north. On the optimistic side the "Red Wall" will crumble and a new socialist dawn will break.

Meanwhile, I just hope my friend in Preston can survive the deliberate trashing of northerner's lives.

Hancock says meeting your GP face to face is now a thing of the past, phone appointments only unless it's absolutely crucial to see your GP. I got lumbered with this new normal last week, it involved three phone calls, only one of which was with the doctor, I won't bore with the details but I'm going to have to ring again tomorrow, I'm on a course of medication, but I'm not sure I should still be on it. It's a confusion that would never have arisen with a face to face chat with the doctor, but god help us if this is the future. Ten years at this Health Centre, it's usually excellent, neither me or Mrs S has ever had a problem or complaint in all that time. One phone appointment and chaos reigns.

Never mind, just keep wearing the masks. :blue:

....some people refused to follow the simple advice, wear a face mask to avoid spreading the virus. It may be their choice, but if they are inflected then it's a stupid and selfish choice....in my opinion.

I've no idea what you're told in China map, but over here we had over 100 televised daily press briefings about the covid situation, and what we should do to stay safe. Not once in those 100 briefings over three months were we told that wearing a face mask would help. In fact when it was raised, the expert advice was that there was no evidence that they offered any protection against Covid 19 to the wearer.

So I really don't think it's fair to describe someone who has listened carefully to the most expert medical and scientific advice available, over a long period of time, and acted according to that advice, as stupid and selfish. Unless of course you know more than Jenny Harries, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England, or her predecessor Professor Van Tam, who still both insist face masks are a waste of time and in fact, if not used properly, could even lead to an increase in the rate infection.

But you may know more than these two vastly experienced experts map, so what are your qualifications or expertise in this area ?

[sinkov]

Ok, if that's what your opinion is, so why, if I may ask, is the infection rate growing around the world because some people refuse to wear face masks ?

What evidence do you have that any increase anywhere is because of a refusal to wear face masks ? In this country the peak was the first week in April, now it's all but been eradicated, and all without any of the general public wearing a face mask. Whatever brought this disease under control in the UK, it most certainly wasn't face masks.

People don't wear them properly. That's why. Its unbelievable the amount of people you see wearing one without covering their nose, for instance.

Meanwhile there are once fit and healthy people who have survived and are living with permanent respiratory issues due to the virus. They are the exception, but so too are people who are already ill and manage to survive it.

I don't give a crap about the government or politics, but I'm a law abiding citizen. I'll do what I feel is sensible and I agree with the notion of wearing one. If you feel so strongly about the way the country is run, why not join a party and start campaigning yourself?

Its not about you, or how sensible you will distance, or cover your mouth when you cough, its about the collective and the average Joe that can't be trusted. Those are the idiots that require such a law to be bought in in the first place. If it wasn't for them, no masks would be required. If you can't trust people not to drop their McDonald's packet on the floor after a meal, you aren't going to keep control of a virus by putting faith into average Joe.

Maybe if we lived somewhere like Japan or South Korea, but not in the UK.

Masks? Fecking masks? There were 100,000 people congregated on a seven mile stretch of beachfront in Bournemouth last Friday.

The reason for that is people do not trust the science. They don't trust SAGE, they don't trust Blow Job and his cartel of cretins.

They lost all trust once Cummings decided it was OK to drive to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight.

Trust and respect are earned not just accepted. Blow Job's eejits have now decided the COVID-19 is a "major incident" in Greater Manchester and the virus is on equal footing to an imminent terrorist attack.

If they think us northerners fall for threats and fear they had better think again. Raves are being planned to give Blow Job a massive "V" sign. Masks my arse!

"People don't wear them properly."

Yes, spot on anti, got it in one, people don't wear them, or use them correctly. Below is the official government advice on how they should be worn and used.

"wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser before putting a face covering on, and before and after removing it
when wearing a face covering, avoid touching your face or face covering, as you could contaminate them with germs from your hands
change your face covering if it becomes damp or if you’ve touched it
continue to wash your hands regularly
change and wash your face covering daily
if the material is washable, wash in line with manufacturer’s instructions. If it’s not washable, dispose of it carefully in your usual waste"

And it soon becomes obvious that no-one will be carrying out the correct procedures, it's virtually impossible to carry out the correct procedures and it's sheer lunacy to expect that they will, or can be, carried out by the overwhelming majority of the population, however well meaning they may be. So, as Jenny Harries, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England pointed out last week, if you can't wear one correctly it's better you don't wear one at all, or you are likely to be contributing to the spread of the disease.

Me, when I go out, I keep well clear of people in face masks, they're dangerous.

Indeed Bt, and not just in Bolton,

"I’m in one of the areas recently “locked down” (BD20). We're actually nowhere near the city of Bradford, but presumably the Government couldn’t be bothered to plot accurate maps so just lazily locked down the whole council tax area.

Some good news. Matt Hancock’s plea for household distancing has gone down like a bucket of cold sick! Everyone I know – and I mean everyone – intends to take no notice of the new rules. Crucially, unlike in March, even the previous lockdown zealots are now jumping ship. I visited my mother-in-law's today with three generations of my family and it was totally different to March. No “sneaking around" needed. Gardens were full and people were happy to park cars outside and mingle freely as if nothing had been said. I think the penny is finally dropping. This will be forever if people go along with it this time.
The same can’t be said for local businesses, unfortunately, who have one again been thrown under a bus by these measures."

Councils can demolish contaminated buildings under new powers to stop second coronavirus wave

Care homes, factories, offices and even private homes could be bulldozed as last resort if virus starts to run out of control




Local authorities will be able to order the demolition of buildings at the centre of coronavirus outbreaks under draconian powers to contain a potential second wave.

Cars, buses, trains and aeroplanes could also be destroyed subject to the approval of magistrates.

Boris Johnson remains determined to avoid a second nationwide lockdown and has given a broad range of powers to local councils to contain outbreaks as soon as they are detected.

Councils will be able to draw on six separate Acts of Parliament to impose lightning closures of public buildings, order mass testing, ban events or shut down whole sectors of the economy.

They will also be able to limit school openings to set year groups and restrict travel to key workers only.

The power to demolish buildings, however, is perhaps the most striking inclusion in the Government's Covid-19 Contain Framework.

The document, published by the Department of Health and Social Care, advises councils that, under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, they can apply to a magistrate "to impose restrictions or requirements to close contaminated premises; close public spaces in the area of the local authority; detain a conveyance or movable structure; disinfect or decontaminate premises; or order that a building, conveyance or structure be destroyed".

It raises the possibility that care homes, factories, offices or even private homes could be bulldozed as a last resort if the virus starts to run out of control, although such measures have not been considered necessary during the outbreak.

Downing Street regards local or regional lockdowns as the way forward in containing coronavirus.

Councils have been given a list of all the laws they can use to restrict people's movement and behaviour, including the Coronavirus Act 2020.

Among the range of powers set out in the Government's advice to councils is the ability to "close certain businesses and venues (for example shops, cafes, gyms, recreation centres, offices, labs, warehouses); close outdoor public areas (for example parks, playgrounds, beaches, esplanades, outdoor swimming pools) and order deep-cleans of buildings or vehicles linked to outbreaks".

It is widely recognised that there is little talent in the cabinet.

Boris chose them carefully and they had to fulfill two criteria.

1/. They had to be hard brexiteers
2/. They would follow his rulings without question

That is why he needs to keep them. Usually they would have had the bums rush by now.

Williamson, Cummings and Jenrick should all be gone, but Boris is gambling on the fact that there is still four years to the next election and people will forget stuff by then. I'm not so sure. Nick Clegg paid a high price five years after the tuition fee U turn.

If it all goes belly up, Rees-Mogg is waiting silently in the wings to take over.

Bonjour mon ami, ca va ? Two questions and an opinion.

1) What is a 'hard brexiteer' ?

2) You're not seriously suggesting that Nick Clegg would have been the next PM, but for his foolish tuition fee promise, are you ?

3) I have no idea what the thinking is in the Tory Party, in fact I'm not sure any of them are thinking at all, but when the time comes to replace Boris, I very much doubt the Mogster will be in the running. I don't think even the most brain dead Tory will imagine that the Member for the 18th century is going to go down well on the doorsteps of the red wall.

This afternoon I'm going down Shawbridge to watch Clitheroe v Hyde United. At least I hope I am, I may not get in, the attendance in this large open air arena, just a bloody big field really, has been restricted to 200, of which only 160 can be Clitheroe fans. So it's ST holders only, first come, first served, to stand in splendid isolation in a big field.

"Sweden uncovers 3,700 false positives from COVID-19 test kit"

Yet if these notoriously unreliable tests provide just 20 positives out of 100,000 tests in one area, our lunatic government wants to lockdown millions. Strangely I can find no trace of this story on the BBC website, our national broadcaster, not even their 'fact checker' seems interested, maybe they just don't want it known ?

Increase the risk, decrease the risk, maybe it depends which way the wind is blowing. I wish these experts would make their minds up, governments are trashing whole economies on the advice of these so-called experts. :?

The Child Bride was at the chemist yesterday attempting to buy some of those ear loop blue paper masks because the father-in-law has a long awaited hospital appointment next Wednesday.

She read on the box "Warning, this product does not protect the wearer against the corona virus". She whipped out her mobile phone to send me a picture of it, but the male chemist shot out from behind the chemist and asked what she was doing?

She told him what she was intending and he asked her to leave the premises. £3.00 for a pack of five useless bits of face muzzle - someone is having a laugh sinkov?

Incidentally, eight weeks ago following urgent hospitalisation by ambulance, the father-in-law was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

The Child Bride has since fought tooth and nail to have his first discussion about treatment moved from 11.40 on February 12th 2021 to Wednesday next week.

Very early on in this pantomime BT, adverts appeared on billboards advertising face masks saying they provided protection against Covid. Complaints were made to the Advertising Standards Authority on the grounds this was 'misleading'. The ASA upheld the complaint and ordered them to be removed. Now you'd think we're all going to die unless we wear them. You tell me who or what is driving this insanity, I haven't a clue.

My best wishes to your father-in-law, such is the lunacy gripping our government he'd be much better cared for if he'd become ill with Covid.

From my own experience they discuss treatments ie Radiotherapy with you.What they didn't say was that if you take that course but you have a subsequent problem they cannot then remove the prostate.I talked everything over with the family - removal is an option,a relatively simple option but with obvious consequences.Consider everything carefully before a decision is taken.

If you think the Tories are bad, take a look at the democrats in America and the total tyrant lockdown in Australia, then at us in Israel.

At least 40 locations across Israel were placed under night-time curfew on Tuesday,the curfew will be in place between 7pm and 5am for a period of one week

The ultra-Orthodox leaders rejected the plan on the grounds that it discriminated against their communities, as it called for a full lockdown in areas with high infection rates.
The areas hardest hit by the virus include many Arab sector communities as well as cities and neighbourhoods with a predominately ultra-Orthodox population.

Coronavirus commissioner Prof. Ronni Gamzu addressed the public on Tuesday, hours before a night curfew was enacted in 40 “red cities” across the country. Coronavirus infection rates in red cities among highest in world

“You bring recommendations to the government and the government has to decide on them. They need to evaluate them - and their own considerations are not epidemiological,” he said. “In the end of the day, I try to convince the government on behalf of the citizens. Sometimes it does not work and the government needs to take responsibility.

He said if it was only up to him “the decisions would be different.” (The ultra-Orthodox leaders said they could leave the Government and so ,no lockdown ,just a curfew ) By day you can go out and mingle, but by night stay at home .......politics!!!

A year of lunacy. Deaths on the streets of America brings desecration of statues to our streets and taking the knee in our sporting arenas. A virus let loose in China closes our schools and workplaces and brings chaos to our streets. Does anyone have a clue why the brakes are off one minute and then you are in total lockdown the next? Countries you can visit again one week but if you don’t get back home within the next 48 hours you will have to be in quarantine for the next two (weeks that is). Get our kids back to school they say before their futures are damaged further but they are sent home on Day One for wearing the wrong shoes. Everything changes except the lunacy. That is a constant. I learnt about a constant at school in maths. Something that is fixed. Something you could rely on. Unchanging. Next week I can meet up but not in a group of more than 6. Tell that to the Seven Dwarves. One of them is not going to be Happy.

It was Thursday yesterday and the weekly nonsensical quarantine rules are changed again.

4.01 on a Saturday morning must be the "Corona Zone's" most wicked moment because if you are not back from wherever you are:

“All travellers returning to the UK must complete a Passenger Locator Form by law. This is vit@l in protecting public health & ensuring those who need to are complying with self-isolation rules.

"It is a criminal offence not to complete the form and spot checks will be taking place."

Big Brother really has gone quite stark raving bonkers.

Hancock and Shapps really have lost the plot:

British holidaymakers face another race against time to get home before new quarantine rules on countries including Portugal and Hungary come into force.

The Government announced on Thursday evening that Portugal, Hungary, French Polynesia and Reunion have been removed from the quarantine exemption list.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said that travellers arriving in England from those countries after 4am on Saturday will have to self-isolate for 14 days.

Strange to relate that, in the mid 19th century, London had a population of almost 3 Million and 14000 people died of cholera in 1848/49.
London now has a population of around 9 million and 6885 have died of Covid19 if the figures are correct.

I wonder if the population were placed under similar conditions to which are being imposed now, obviously air travel did not feature and it appears that the worldwide spread was caused by people on ships.

No one knows what the uniform will be like, one suggestion is a get up like Clockwork Orange Droogs, Doc Martins, white boiler suits, black bowler hats, cattle prongs and tazers to keep us in order. Can't see it myself, I reckon just the usual jobsworth's high-viz jacket, with tin foil hats to make them look suitably ludicrous. Applications to become a Marshal are now being welcomed, of which, I believe, there is no shortage in the Morecambe Bay area. >;)

Lol! XD

BT : Just one problem there with that?

''Now is the time for the men in the white vans to arrive at Whitehall and gently remove the Cabal of Conservative and Unionist Cabinet Minister Cretins and place them in a lunatic asylum somewhere north of anywhere!!!!''

Who will give such an order? ......and that is why you have to create a new system ,not again and again,that same old stuff. ''Same old swing doors that just keep moving around and around ,but no real change ,right!''

When the penny drops let me know !

Spot on. We are being run by effectively a Uniparty. Different puppets but same narrative. Difference are cosmetic and for media consumption to sell the story of a difference; an illusion of choice if you will to justify voting so you can change things! That's the bit now where the wheels are falling off and the tyranny can now be seen by even the average non political person. Question is; What are we going to do about it while we still can??

Where's the fecking army when you need them, get the tanks parked in Whitehall while we still have some that work, shut the Commons, the opposition are useless and the government is out of control and dangerous. Put Boris and his chums in lockdown in the Tower and give Brenda the job, she must be the only public figure with any credibility left, she'd sort this farce out in no time.

Some claims now being made that the fact that the virus isn't killing many any more is down to face masks reducing the severity of the infection. This is complete and utter bilge, neither are people dying from the virus in countries where muzzles are not being worn, but this salient point is completely ignored.

They want to keep the scam going, they want to keep us muzzled, so they just make it up as they go along. Just another indication that the insanity isn't going to end any time soon, muzzles are here to stay.

It's certainly a sh-it fest of unbelievable proportions sinkov.

It's our wedding anniversary today, the restaurant of choice is closed because of Covid, so we simply booked into another excellent one that is no more than one mile away in a straight line up the road, but falls in the Bury postcode as opposed to Bolton.

One devious bloody virus is this; it even knows postcodes. :blue:

[sinkov]

I was reading someone saying he'd been on a flight for over three hours, he had to wear a muzzle unless he was eating or drinking, so he made a bag of crisps and a can of coke last for almost three hours. Despite having been sat within six inches of each other for over three hours, on landing they were instructed to keep at least two metres apart, as they went down the aisle to leave the plane.

The virus is clearly well behaved enough to know it hasn't to jump from one person to another when they're seated and eating, but the devious little bugger is liable to when people are queuing to leave the aircraft.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I have given up with this bollox altogether sinkov.

No masks, no social distancing, none of this bollox is for me. Phuck 'em. :mad:

BT: If you make a trip to the White House,no not your favourite pub! When this signing of a Peace Deal occurs. Guess what ? No need to wear a mask!!! (Perhaps one rule for a certain 'Elite' class, and another for us goblins!

....from the Jerusalem Post

Mask wearing not compulsory at White House peace signing - administration official says. A senior U.S. administration official said on Monday that protective mask wearing during the peace signing ceremony at the White House on Tuesday would not be compulsory.

The official noted that the UAE and Israeli delegations are observant of health recommendations and do wear the masks and as the ceremony will be held outdoors, "there is nothing to worry about."

Thirty youths on Barlow Park in Bolton were showing a gleam of common sense last night, there are no reports from anywhere in the world of Covid transmission on a five acre urban park, yet they all found themselves with £100.00 fines from the GMP Dibbles. All they were doing were mingling just like you would on a grouse moor, except they were not shooting harmless grouse.

This will be another "Cummings Moment", where your average folk just tell these elitist cretins to phuck right off. :mad:

Apparently the Dibbles turned up mob handed with a couple of the local second eleven bizzies, and they knew who most of the group were.

I'll give you odds at 100/1 the Dibbles won't turn up on a grouse moor in North Yorkshire to arrest the usual suspects.

They even allow fox hunting and that is definitely against the law!

No one hunts foxes on horse back anymore, it IS against the law, and there are always Sabs with their camera phones loitering in the bushes, so you just can't get away with it. Even more annoying, because of these camera phones a chap can't give a Sab a bloody good thrashing with his riding crop anymore, I don't know what the world's coming to. :blue:

This crazy 'much to do about nothing' is happening here too,we are going into lockdown Friday.

Health Ministry publishes the final list of restrictions ahead of the nationwide lockdown, set to take effect on Friday; the public will only be allowed to leave home to buy groceries, medicine or receive medical or essential services......which includes the closure of all "non-essential" businesses, except for synagogues that will be allowed to remain open under health guidelines.

The religious form part of the Government here ,so we can not harm them!!

Israeli government last week voted to impose another nationwide lockdown to combat the rapid spread of coronavirus, with the closure set to go into effect on Friday at 4pm, on the eve of the holiday of Rosh Hashanah, and last for at least three weeks.

Businesses in the field of trade, culture and entertainment will be closed, including beaches, swimming pools, gyms and restaurants.
Food stands at marketplaces,will remain open. Gatherings will be limited to 10 people in confined spaces and 20 people in open spaces.

In addition, movement will be restricted to 500 meters from home. The exception includes going out to purchase groceries, medicine, receive essential services and medical treatments. Essential workers will be allowed to move freely to and from their placed of employment.
The public will also be allowed to leave their homes to attend funerals, demonstrations, legal proceedings, to transfer a child from one parent to another (if they live separately) and perform the ritual of "mikveh".

Synagogues, however, will be allowed to remain open during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Prayers in open spaces will be permitted with up to 20 worshipers, with social distancing rules applied, while in confined spaces up to 10 people will be allowed to pray. ( Do you think the police will be going into Synagogues?....I don't !!!)

Yes. This insanity is endless...
The Government takes it up the back side yet again from the religious. We all know you can't get Corona from inside a synagogue right? Unbelievable how much they bend for these fools.

If Netanyahu looses those votes from the Haredi (religious) Mk's then he would be "out of business" so he had to choose or to remain as P.M. or the health of the citizens, and you know what he will choose,or chose!)

My new hero..

"Noel Gallagher has said he refuses to wear a face mask while shopping, in defiance of laws which were introduced earlier this year.

Appearing on The Matt Morgan podcast, the former Oasis singer described the use of face coverings as “*******s”, after they were introduced in an attempt to curb the spread of coronavirus.

“The whole thing’s *******s. You’re supposed to wear them in Selfridges, yet you can f***ing go down the pub and be surrounded by every f***ing c**t. Do you know what I mean? It’s like, ‘Oh actually, we don’t have the virus in pubs but we have it in Selfridges?’,” Gallagher said.

Wearing a face covering over your nose and mouth is mandatory by law in all shops and supermarkets in the UK, although exemptions are in place for children under 11 and people with health issues.

They are also compulsory on public transport, with Gallagher recalling how he refused to wear a covering on a recent train journey to Manchester.

The podcast is well worth a listen. The bit when Gallagher explains why he refused to wear a mask on the train is gold. He makes exactly the same point James Delingpole did on Sunday in his piece about why the mask-wearing rules on planes are such nonsense.

Like I was going up to Manchester the other week and some guy's going, "Can you put your mask on?" On the train. And he said, "Because the Transport Police will get on and fine you £1,000, but you don't have to put it on if you're eating." So I was saying, "Oh right. So this killer virus that's sweeping through the train is going to come and attack me but is going to see me having a sandwich and go, "Leave him. He's having his lunch."

The podcaster he's talking to tries to justify the policy, but Gallagher just says "*******s". "The science says they're pointless," he says. When the presenter disagrees and says he "read something earlier" saying masks are effective, Gallagher cuts him off: "F*** off. You only read things that reinforce your own opinions."

[The Bedlington Terrier]

BREAKING NEWS. They have just discovered a bad batch of test kits and rubbish use of data has meant Bolton is actually below the UK norm.

The eejits had not deducted from the data the amount of people who had been tested, but came from "out of town".

Remember the dude I mentioned who came with his wife and three kids from Stoke? They are down in the data has living in Bolton.

FFS! Somebody please put this Cabal of Conservative and Unionist Cabinet Minister Cretins out of their misery?

[sinkov]

Here's another one,

"Doncaster racecourse has rejected claims from the Welsh Government that a “significant” cluster of Covid-19 cases in Rhondda Cynon Taf could be connected to last week’s crowd pilot at the track. Around 2,500 spectators were on course for the first day of the St Leger meeting last Wednesday, although the planned four-day trial was curtailed after that opening card on the instruction of the local authority.

Wales’s Health Minister Vaughan Gething pointed to a rugby club outing to Town Moor, which stopped at a “series of pubs on the way”, as a possible source of the outbreak which has resulted in a local lockdown. He said: “Our contact tracing teams have been able to trace about half of these cases back to a series of clusters within the borough. The rest are evidence of community transmission. There are a number of clusters within Rhondda Cynon Taf, two of which are significant. One is associated with a rugby club and a pub in the lower Rhondda. And the other with a club outing to the Doncaster races, which stopped off at a series of pubs on the way.”

Sounds a fairly open and shut case, clearly allowing the public into sporting events, even on a restricted basis is a serious risk to the nation's health. Except that.....

"A statement from the track said: “As a condition of running the pilot event last week, we were required to implement a full track and trace database that took the details of all attendees that would be on site, linked to an e-ticket and photo ID system on entry that would verify attendance. Doncaster Racecourse has received no contact from any organisation, including the NHS or the Welsh Government, to verify the attendance of any individuals at last week’s event for the purposes of track and trace. In addition, we do not have any ticket bookings for any groups from the South Wales area for Wednesday’s event. We will be contacting the Welsh Health Minister as a matter of urgency to clarify the situation."

More sheer lunacy, they really don't know what they're doing. Incidentally BT, Vaughan Gething is not one of Boris's Cabal of Cretins, although he's acting like one, NHS Wales is run by Labour and Gething the Cretin is a Welsh Labour politician.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

The Welsh don't count sinkov, most human Welsh DNA is crossed with Dolly the Sheep.

I'm considering using "Gething the Cretin" as the lead villain in my new detective story. ;D

What is really amusing me is seeing loads of photos of eejits at Testing Centres, when they have no Covid symptoms and they know there are no testing kits. I'm sort of inclined to agree with you now about the merits of a grammar school education.

You won't hear or read about these facts on the BBC or Grauniad BT, and to be fair you won't find them in many media outlets at all. It's a mystery to me why the media is so compliant in helping the government terrify the population, a favourite is headlines calling Covid19, 'This Deadly Disease', when it's perfectly clear by now that to anyone under the age of 80 it's nothing of the sort, it's no more deadly than flu.

I feel really sorry for all the millennials at the moment because they blame us oldies for everything, however, because the media etc. have scared the sh1t out of so many of the oldies and they are afraid to go out anywhere, the millennials will have to find someone else to blame for the current events.

" A major incident has been declared by officials in North Yorkshire following "a surge" in coronavirus cases in the past fortnight.

North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum (NYLRF) said it was reinstating "full emergency mode". The body, which is made up of representatives from the police and local authorities, said Harrogate and Selby were of particular concern. Parts of Craven and Scarborough have also seen a sharp rise in cases.
NYLRF said it was "stepping up support" for care homes, with some being told to reintroduce visitor restrictions. Other measures include
people being encouraged to wear face masks whenever they leave home, and dedicated police patrols targeting those breaking social distancing rules."

First of all face masks were just for public transport, then they became mandatory in shops, I said then it wouldn't stop there, eventually we'd be compelled to wear them whenever we left home. Posters like 59/60 and Antifootball pooh-poohed this idea, no they said this is just a sensible precaution, nothing more. Then they became mandatory in museums art *********, public places, now notice what has crept into the above,

"people being encouraged to wear face masks whenever they leave home"

That's how it works, first you're just encouraged, then it WILL become mandatory, just like I said two monthe ago.

The latest up here as of midnight tonight is that we are not allowed to mix if we are from different households unless we are in the bubble ---whatever that is. It is a good job that I am not a worrier because according to the BBC website "Northumberland's rate of 25.7 cases per 100,000 in the week to 13 September means it is outside the top 100 of 315 areas of England for new infections."

This weekend three of us are going to watch an FA Vase match between Bedlington Terriers and Heaton Stannington. Two of us usually travel to the Turf together but are not allowed to travel in the same car to Bedlington, about 4 miles, even though on Tuesday night we travelled together to watch Ashington, about 2 miles. The other lad is coming from Newcastle.
We were then going out for an Indian meal that night but that has now had to be cancelled. This is because 0.0257 of our local population have been diagnosed.

One of the local schools has 40 children who travel for 40 minutes on a bus together to get to school, they are together at school all day and then travel home on the bus together on another 40 minute journey, The same children are then not allowed to go out and lay with each other in the evening. I was told to do some daft things when I served in the RAF and I usually managed to make a bit of sense out of it, however, I am totally at a loss to explain this lot.

For all those people who think think COVID-19 is some sort of conspiracy, just note that infection rate, in the UK alone, have risen, alarmingly. If you cannot be bothered to wear suitable protection whilst outside then you are, without doubt, contributing to the problem. Do you sneeze or cough in someone's face, regardless of your medical condition ?

There was a classic on the Tour de France coverage last week, the comms man was getting all uppity because some roadside fans, stood in splendid isolation in the vast French countryside, weren't wearing muzzles. They were irresponsible, they weren't showing respect, they were a danger to the riders, on and on he ranted, while seemingly oblivious to the fact that 160-180 cyclists were riding along packed together, without muzzles, for six hours a day, pushing, shoving, shouting at each other, no doubt coughing and spitting as well. But he never explained why none of them are testing positive for Covid 19.

Then it got better, he pointed out that Race Director, Christian Prudhomme, would not be in his usual position running things at the head of the race, despite never appearing in public without his muzzle, strictly observing social distancing, no shaking hands, no kissing, no hugging, and remaining strictly in his Tour bubble, he had tested positive for Covid and was self-isolating.

The irony seemed lost on him, that after his lengthy whinge about the danger the fans were posing, it was the man in the mask, observing all the rules, who had to self-isolate. As you said BT, seems like the masks don't work in France either. >;)

[Supersub6]

I have never sneezed or coughed in anyone's face ---ever! I also have never had a cold or anything similar for over 40 years and I never have the flu vaccine. I wear a mask where we are instructed to wear masks, however, when I am out in the fresh Northumberland air either walking or on my bike I do not wear a mask, nor do I usually see anyone else except in cars while I am out.

For all those people who think think COVID-19 is some sort of conspiracy, just note that infection rate, in the UK alone, have risen, alarmingly. If you cannot be bothered to wear suitable protection whilst outside then you are, without doubt, contributing to the problem. Do you sneeze or cough in someone's face, regardless of your medical condition ?

the more folk have tests - the more the infection rate will seem to spike - because, the test picks up on dead/old viral fragments from what could be from...who knows when - its unreliable - the same result has been noted on previous occasions, offering plenty of evidence on the reason behind the current rise in cases - and compared to the mortality rate....from what the office of national statistics are telling us - weekly registered deaths are 15% lower than the 5 year average - except at home (not in hospital) - where they're higher....that, makes complete sense.

While BT continues to struggle with BDS, up in Boris free Scotland they're making it up as they go along as well.

"NUMBERS of patients in Scottish hospitals with Covid-19 were being dramatically overplayed by around 80 per cent, it emerged today.

Nicola Sturgeon said a review of the counting system had led to the dramatic fall in the official tally. Under the old measure - which included patients who had recovered from coronavirus, but were still in hospital for unrelated conditions - there would have been 262 people logged today. But the First Minister said a "new and more accurate measure" showed the current figure was 48 patients.

We told earlier this month how academics at Oxford University's Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine had pointed out the flaw. Ms Sturgeon then said she had ordered a review."

They were overcounting the deaths in England, they were overcounting the hospital admissions in Scotland, but both Hancock and Sturgeon expressed surprise when the flaws were pointed out to them. Bollox, it's the same scam they're now using with the new 'cases', which in reality are simply positive tests from a seriously flawed testing system, and bears no relation to the number of people actually ill enough with the virus to be admitted to hospital, which number is so insignificant, they really don't want to disclose it to you at all.

It turns out we have had people coming to our three test centres from as far afield as Carlisle and Stoke.

Unfortunately no-one told the data inputters these people were not from Bolton.

You think Bolton is being hard done by BT ? Maybe it is, but here in the Ribble Valley we've been put into lockdown because of 23 positive tests out of 100,000, a quick calculation on the back of a fag shows that Clitheroe, with a population of 16,000, must have had 4 positive cases, and for that we're being put into lockdown. It's fecking insane.

The football club has played about 5 games at home with gates of 300-400, if there are only 4 positives then Shawbridge is clearly not a breeding ground for Covid, nevertheless we're told we can't go to watch them play anymore, we can't watch a football match in open air, but we can go and sit in the pub instead. It's fecking insane.

We are the same up here and can't make any sense out of anything. As far as the football is concerned this is the view of those involved with the Northern League which operates in Durham, Tyne and Wear, Teesside, Cumbria, North Yorkshire and Northumberland who are all in lockdown ---whatever that is!

Take the illegals coming accross the channel, put a couple of frigates patroling and picking them up, destroying their vessel and taking them back to France, I'm sure after a few months there wont be as many.

EU borders at our coasts ? What borders ? We have not even got the staff to accommadate a border.

The sheer arrogance of them telling us lies about Covid, its pathetic, Matron had the news on last night, I looked up a saw Doris Johnson walking into a clinic in a white Doctors coat, I apologized to Matron saying I could not watch this crap and turned it off.

I know a lass from Holland who has been self isolating since she came back to the country. She filled out all the necessary forms which nobody took from her when she arrived at the airport. She has stuck to the 'rules' just in case someone rang up to check that she was isolating, guess what, never received a call at all. She asked me why, if nobody took the forms or checked anything when she returned to the UK, she had to self isolate -----can any of my learned friends provide an answer?

So this crazy situation is there and here ? Whats happening ? Do any of the lads have a good answer??

Hospitals say they could admit more patients, but Health Ministry is misleading
Health Ministry claims COVID wards countrywide overcrowded but some hospital sources say reality differs from picture presented to public

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/287670

The Health Ministry has ordered hospitals to discontinue all elective (non-urgent) treatments and surgeries, claiming the system is flooded with coronavirus patients. But according to a Channel 12 News report tonight, hospitals "across the country" report the Ministry is publishing "misleading data". Sheba Hospital reports occupancy in the coronavirus wards is only 52%, while the Ministry claims the ward to be over loaded to 120% occupancy.

Some hospitals around the country announced they will reduce or cancel some non-urgent treatments and surgeries, as happened in the "first wave". At the same time, the Health Ministry today published COVID-19 ward occupancy data, claiming 130% occupancy at Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, as well as at Hadassah Ein Kerem, and with 125% occupancy reported in Laniado. At Assuta Hospital in Ashdod, the Health Ministry reported 103% occupancy in the coronavirus wards.

Life just gets better. Had a text from the doctors this morning inviting me to arrange an appointment to have a 'flu jab, this is the doctors where, if you did have anything wrong, you can't get an appointment but they will speak over the telephone to diagnose any life threatening condition.
Anyway, my question is that, with the increase in lockdown up in these parts and telling you to wear these masks etc from dusk until dawn ---who will I come into contact with to get the 'flu. I then realised that the ploy is to get you to go to the doctors to have your jab so that you come into contact with others who may just pass on the 'flu to you. Crafty buggers ---just because they have a huge surplus of 'flu vaccine to get rid of. XD

BT, they send for me every year and I politely decline. The missus goes and then gets a few symptoms, even though she usually only suffers me and her health is generally good. I have never had a 'flu jab and I have not had a common cold for over 40 years so I shall just wait and take my chances.

Yes, they have to meet their quotas, just like when I refused to take statins many years ago after one of my regular blood tests. The next time I had a test I was summoned to the GP and told that I was Type 2 Diabetic, even though they never told me the results of the blood test. Having been Glucose Intolerant for 20 years, they just decided on my condition and prescribed tablets.
I never took one tablet, never changed anything about my life, attended the foot checks, eye checks and anything else they wanted to spend money on. After one year I was told that I wasn't even on the scale for Type 2 and that the tablets must be working! I told them that those tablets had gone down the loo when I got them ---all fell on deaf ears.
They gave me all the checks for three and a half years and a new nurse came to the practice and when I saw her she asked me why I was attending these diabetic checks because i had never been on the scale when my blood was tested. I had not been diabetic at all, however, my daugher-in-law who is a GP in Sheffield, told me that they had all been on a drive to find Type 2 and that, because I had been glucose intolerant for so long and refused statins, another government incentive scheme, they would have told me that I was diabetic.
You know my distrust of politicians, however, things like this make sure that you trust nobody! Sorry to bore you all.

Have you read about Hancock on Talk Radio last Friday Dave ? He seemed to think that a 1% False Positive rate meant that just 1% of positive tests were false, he seemed blissfully unaware that the FPR applies to all the tested and a 1% FPR means that 1% of the total tested will show up as positive when they're actually negative. An entirely different thing altogether, it's scary to think that this clueless halfwit is actually running the show.

From The Independent,

"The world’s fastest supercomputer has found that face shields are almost completely ineffective at containing Covid-19. The Japanese machine, which can perform more than 415 quadrillion computations a second, discovered that visors fail to prevent almost 100% of droplets of less than five micrometres in size from escaping."

Well, well, well, I did say a couple of months ago that I kept well away from anyone wearing a muzzle, they're bloody dangerous. Why people think it's a good thing to walk around with a portable virus carrier dangling from the end of their nose, apart from virtue-signalling of course, I have no idea.

"Universities Scotland said the new guidance that had been agreed with the Scottish government was a "necessary step at this crucial moment of managing the virus in the student population, to protect students and the wider community".

The new rules state that all universities will "make absolutely clear to students that there must be no parties, and no socialising outside their households".

They go on to say: "This weekend, the first of the new tighter Scottish government guidance, we will require students to avoid all socialising outside of their households and outside of their accommodation.

"We will ask them not to go to bars or other hospitality venues."

Extra staff will be brought into student accommodation to watch for any breaches of the guidance and to support students who are self-isolating."

FFS, Nippy has now banned students in Scotland from going to the pub, maybe the wee lass hasn't noticed yet that this virus has virtually zero effect on young people, even Boris hasn't come up with anything so daft...... yet. What's the point of being a student if you can't go to the pub ?

"The United Nations expects in the region of 71 million people to be pushed back into extreme poverty in 2020 because of the global response to COVID-19. Meanwhile, the official death toll with the disease is yet to reach a million.

In the UK we have had just over 53,000 excess deaths so far in 2020. In 2014-15 the excess winter deaths were 44,000. Nobody even noticed the 2015 epidemic, yet in 2020 with only around 9,000 more deaths – a 20% increase – the public has been terrorised into surrendering their liberty and sanity. Countries like Sweden, Tanzania and Belarus show that the death toll probably wouldn't be any higher without lockdown.

However well-intentioned, there is nothing compassionate about lockdowns."

Went out for lunch yesterday, all the precations in place, track and trace app, hand sanitiser, tables spaced apart, waitresses wearing masks and ordered not to take our masks off until we were seated. Four people arrived on the next table, took their masks off and put them on the table, the waitress brought them their menus and put their cutlery down on top of one of the masks. I've been eating out weekly since restaurants re-opened and felt perfectly safe and secure, yesterday for the first time I could see how the virus could be passed on in a restaurant, all thanks to more government stupidity and an obsession with face masks, forcing us to wear portable virus carriers to a restaurant table. You really couldn't make it up.

Me and the father-in-law had business in Burnley, so we went for lunch at the "Stork" in Simonstone.

Exactly the same scenario you describe sinkov, except one of the "locals" was sat near the toilets on a stool, sans mask. Every time anyone wanted to use the toilet they had to be muzzled and walk past the guy on the stool. It was just so phucking farcical.

Also, if Ashington play at home the spectator numbers have been cut to 150, the clubhouse isn't allowed to be open at all and even if you are outside at the ground you have to wear a mask. This morning the club published this:-
��⚽️ SATURDAY OPENING ⚽️�� | We will be open from 2pm-10pm with three live games being shown, please observe the following:
✅ Table service only
✅ People must remain in household groups
✅ Masks must be worn when moving around building
✅ Track and Trace mandatory

In addition they are open on Friday night and also Sunday for the TV games until closing time.
They can do this because there are no games taking place on the pitch because the team are away on Saturday.

That's fair enough then Sub, same at Clitheroe, they have my details from my ST Number so that's all I need to give them.

I am the same but won't go while I have to wear a mask outside! I think that they will be happy for me to stay away because they have won the last four games! Bloody typical!

Back to the insanity guys. A Scottish MP knowing she has COVID-19 symptoms jumps on the train to London, lectures us about our behaviour in Parliament, subsequently tests positive and then jumps back on the train to Scotland. :?

Just lost their father - comforted mother before the Funeral as they would do after....yet they couldn't sit together ? - - well...they could because they did, temporarily - until they chose to listen (wrongly imo) to a complete W@nker who's following orders from even bigger - W@nkers !

from the Rule of Shlts - came the Rule of Six - passed by 287 votes to 17, such faithful servants of the abyss, forcing the people into further subjugation !

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8811803/MPs-Rule-Six-Commons-vote-just-17-politicians-opposing-despite-Tory-fury.html

what next ?.....how about the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill “A Bill to make provision for, and in connection with, the Authorisation of Criminal Conduct.....it would introduce a power in the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 to authorise conduct by officials and agents of the security and intelligence services, law enforcement, and certain other public authorities, which would otherwise constitute criminality.”

The final stage of the bill...set for the 15th october - if passed, gives Government authorities the right to commit crimes (against the people) including - the Ministry of Justice, who can then allow the Government Goons a free pass to get away with...who knows what, without fear of prosecution, essentially - legally and openly - authorizing crimminality !

nothing new there - Sinkov....they haven't much cared in the past (this country)...but when they start making rules that they can commit criminal acts and walk away - then I care nowt what anyone thinks...to me, it's shifty as phook - just got to look at the excessively broad powers they crept in with the Anti-Terror laws to see where this is likely going !

Our MPs are weird Norder, some of them are kicking off about this, but they've just given the government permission to force us to wear muzzles, put us under house arrest, close pubs and restaurants, inflict curfews, restrict family members going to weddings and funerals, force us to cancel holidays, trap people abroad without means of returning, inflict upon us sad jobsworths called Covid Marshalls, destroy the education of millions of schoolchildren and young people at University, make it almost impossible to se your GP, stop us watching football matches, rugby, cricket, horse racing etc, and they let all that pass quite happily.

More on the insanity, I was driving along in pleasant open countryside this morning between West Bradford and Waddington, coming in the opposite direction was a young lady cyclist, all the lycra gear on, fully togged up like a real club cyclist, and she was cycling along, all on her own, in the countryside, in the fresh air, wearing a face mask.

It really is depressing to get such daily reminders that I live in a lunatic asylum. :blue:

What was ironic Sub is that a few minutes earlier she'd cycled past Castle Cement, which pumps out more lung damaging ****e than Corvid ever will, but I've never seen a cyclist wear a mask when cycling past there.

Had to laugh at that. The whole thing is crazy and I certainly wouldn't wear a mask when I am out on my bike.
Mind you, as I said before, if I go to watch Ashington I have to wear a mask when stood out in the open air. On Saturday they play in the Vase at Nelson and, although, the stated infection figures down that area are far worse than in Ashington, I could travel down, pay on the gate and watch without a face mask. I am very tempted, however, Ashington have won their last 5 matches so I had better not jinx them!

Bloody hell Sub, you've drawn the short straw again, it can't be that long ago I was watching Ashington in a Cup match at Nelson, two years ago perhaps, maybe three ? Clitheroe went top last night with a 3-1 win at Mossley, they're serious promotion contenders this year, David Lynch, the player manager, was playing two levels higher at Alfreton last season, but the squad is that strong he isn't even putting himself on the bench, but we'll see, things can always go wrong, and often do.

Six or seven weeks ago me and the Child Bride were having a tootle over to Waddington for lunch. It was a lovely day, we had the top down on the MGF and we came through Sabden and down to the valley via Pendle Hill, when we saw what looked like a nuclear explosion. How the phuck does Heidelberg/Hanson get away with pumping that sh-it out over the Ribble Valley? No mask would save you from that cement dust maelstrom. :blue:

Talking about stupid is as stupid does - why the phuck are single occupants wearing face masks in a motor vehicle? :confused:

[Supersub6]

BT ---I wondered about that too. Another question, why do people slip their masks down over their chin and walk around, is it laziness?

I could give you chapter and verse on that place BT, it's 25 years or so since the Environment Agency kept serious tabs on them for a while, but they failed to lay a glove on them, and you wouldn't believe some of the stuff the Agency was coming out with. One Saturday my car was covered in some sort of sticky dust/grit and it was impossible to wash it off without damaging the paintwork, the Agency had set up a Help Line to report incidents such as this, so I rang the number, the man from the Agency listened patiently and politely and then suggested I take the car to a garage, get it re-sprayed and send the bill to Castle Cement. After this farce I got to see Nigel Evans and asked him WTF was going on. He was brutally honest, for a politician anyway, he said they were a big employer, v-i-t-a-l to the economy of the area, and until they worked the quarry out, which would be many years into the future, nothing would be done about it.

“We will grind you revolutionists down under our heel, and we shall walk upon your faces.
The world is ours, we are its lords, and ours it shall remain. As for the host of labor, it has been in the dirt since history began,
and I read history aright. And in the dirt it shall remain so long as I and mine and those that come after us have the power.
There is the word. It is the king of words—Power. Not God, not Mammon, but Power. Pour it over your tongue till it tingles with it. Power.”
