This insanity is endless...

While I do not support any political party and have no wish to do so, but the current government of our country are not providing support where it is most needed.
They spent approximately £500 million on the eat out to help out campaign yet the majority of conservative MP’s voted against providing free school meals over Christmas and Easter periods to needy children at a cost of approximately £20 million. When the eat out to help out may have led to an increase in the Covid-19 infection rate.
Well done to Caroline Ansell, Robert Halfon, Jason McCartney, Anne Marie Morris and Holly Mumby-Croft for having the courage to ignore the tory whip and vote for needy children. As for Burnley’s MP Antony Higginbotham, he should be ashamed of himself.
While I am not a fan of Manchester United one must congratulate Marcus Johnson for his campaign on this subject.
One can only wonder at what spin Johnson and his cronies will put on this and how they are being even handed to all the children of the UK.

According to the OBR the government needed to borrow £372 billion to see them through to April 2021, but that was before the new autumn lockdown support measures had been taken into account, god knows what the final bill will be, £500 billion, £600 billion, god knows who will be paying for it and how long it will take to pay it off, but all you hear from Lefties like Burnham, Starmer and our very own resident lefty BT is whinging, whining, carping and moaning. It's clear none of those three have any intention of picking up the tab do they. ;D

Should have said Marcus Rashford.

Interesting piece in the Grauniad from 7 months ago, the week before lockdown kicked in. The headline was right, it looks like this pantomime is set to run until next spring at least, but some of the forecasts from our so called experts like Whitty are laughable, somewhere between 330,000 and 530,000 deaths being predicted. They're so wrong and yet they're still in place, still making ludicrous scaremongering predictions and Boris is still listening to them and wheeling them out in TV briefings. How some of these dangerous clowns are still in a job is beyond me.

Exactly Sinkov; if you think austerity was bad wait until paying for all this lot kicks in; its going to take years!! Remember ALL the lefty lot wanted this spending and MORE. I am not saying a lot of it is not necessary given what initially happened. When the pain of repaying comes full circle and you cant have XYZ social spending. Plus the addition of little minds and little memories which dim with the help of the mainstream media, just remember the politicians who then cry "nothing to do with us" as the big taxes come along and the pay packet looks and is a whole lot smaller.

Do you remember the photoshopped mass burial sites and the expedited rush to build seven Nightingale hospitals, which are still lying idle at a rough cost to us lot the taxpayer of another couple of billion?

Not one patient has ever been treated in these seven hospitals, which when standing empty, costs us around £2 million a month per hospital.

And Councillor Jim claims we do do not have a Magic Money Tree...

It would help cut costs enormously if this Cabal of Conservative and Unionist Cabinet Minister Cretins would stop doling out billions of pounds worth of contracts to their cronies and besties.

Look it up, it's a fortune. :s

I am really enjoying this spend, spend, spend and nobody has yet realised that this will be Karma as far as the Tories are concerned.
Remember when they first were elected under David Cameron and the retiring Labour Chancellor left a note to say there was nothing left?

I'm sure that, when Labour take over the reins at the next election, the Chancellor will have great pleasure in leaving a note saying "You left us with nowt so we wanted to reciprocate and then some!"

You know Sub I think I'll vote Labour at the next election, in the hope they get in, and then they can try to sort the mess out. It should be highly entertaining.

"Now the "evidence" shows us the pandemic is worsening, the Tory Government will stop the furlough scheme."

Don't you fall for it as well BT, the 'evidence' shows us no such thing. Of course the government and media try to make sure you don't know this, Glum and Glummer will happily compare the figures to Spring, they won't compare them to last autumn though, and this is why.....

"England typically experiences a sharp increase in emergency admissions for respiratory conditions from September through November, followed by an even bigger spike in December, before beginning to drop off again in the new year. How does 2020 compare with this?

October 2016 had around 24,500 admissions, which is an average of 790 per day. Covid admissions this month up to the 18th are 10,503 with 13 days to go. The month started at around 370 per day and reached about 800 as of October 18th, so is currently running about average.

In other words, so far as we can tell from data in the public domain there is nothing unusual about the current October rise in respiratory disease-related hospital admissions. We can expect them to keep on rising and then to peak in December, although we don’t yet know if COVID-19 will fizzle out during the winter, to be replaced by other viruses."

Just another day October day in the office for the NHS, nothing exceptional at all, but they won't tell you that.
