O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

I haven't fell for anything, it is something that is obvious.

It isn't obvious. Any polls done on here regarding voting intentions in general elections always show a right wing bias compared to the actual vote.
Even UKIP got around 35% of the vote in one of them!

It is to me.

Well as you must have said a hundred times, there is no objective truth and everyone just believes what confirms their biases. So that explains it.

We have hit the '100,000' tests twice. On the 30th April (what a surprise!) and the following day. Since then we have missed it for 6 days on the trot. But not to worry. George Eustace (Environment Sec) said it is down to daily fluctuations and regional variations.

Sorry Mr Eustace, very poor excuse. I was wondering what has happened to Matt Hancock but maybe he's sticking stamps on the 'tests' being posted.

Too be fair, if people don’t go and get tested then what can be done. I know I haven’t been tested as at this moment I haven’t needed a test. Has anyone else needed a test and not been able to get one due to unavailability?

Also, if folk want to be pedantic, the Government committed to hitting 100k tests by 30th April, which they did.

Well, as you mentioned it, too means also or as well as. Yes I'm a dick (tell me something I don't know).

What has people not getting tested to do with daily fluctuations? Ah, I see what you are saying about 30 April - we will hit 100,000 on that day (and shove a load in the post to make sure) but then it can drop off. How are they going to get to 200,000 if people won't get tested? Or is that going to be BJ's excuse?

***in ell, can you be my boss?

It is to me.

In that case, it's yet another example of you being totally impartial in favour of the right!

To and too are very different. As are you

I'm glad you learned something form this exchange, whether you are able to put it use is a different matter.

People not being tested has everything to do with it. Surely you see that? If it’s not then who do you think is or should be tested and hasn’t been? As I said it’s not as though people are needing testing and can’t be. PPE on the other hand

Hahaha touché. Which form are you referring too 🤔

Well played, you got me there (their). I'll have too book (buck) up my ideas.

It really hasn't! I would agree with daily fluctuations if sometimes it was over 100k but sometimes under. However, two days over (and method of counting questionable) with 6 days under since (and well under) does not mathematically fit to daily fluctuations causing it.

If they can't get near 100k as a daily average because people aren't requesting tests, however are they going to get to BJ's 200k?
