Oh jeez, if they share the same flat in halls then whats the ****ing problem?
Unbelievable that people here are so petty about such stuff as if it makes a ****ing difference! Meanwhile you miss the point that the whole ****ing management of this pandemic is a ****show! Un****ing believable that theres a focus on trivial issues!
Not sure it’s a case of Swale trivialising things, Andy.
The point surely is, not that students are being interviewed sitting close to each other, but that the authorities have seen fit to approve students returning to halls of residence in the first place.
So schools go back...the Universities go back, people are encouraged to ‘eat out and help out’ through July and August and guess what? There’s a spike!
So now it’s...don’t go out, work from home and the pubs must shut at 10.00pm.
Regardless of the Party in charge...where’s the joined up thought and consistency?
Well you thought wrong, which is pretty much par for the course! In point of fact you proffered the view that use of the exclamation mark was a sign of high blood pressure, actually its just a sign that I am flabbergasted at the petty trivial comments about a serious issue.
Still if you old gents want to tut tut about some spurious issue connected to Covid-19 who am I to pour scorn on it? I mean it signifies nothing other than too much time on ones hands.
Killer disease? yeah for some, but so are a lot of other things and the current hysteria isn't helping - estimated 40,000 plus cancer deaths and counting due to the actions taken to "combat" Covid-19. Numerous other deaths that are a side effect of how this has been mismanaged.
There are a number of truths that are being ignored whilst this hysteria is being generated - we need to learn to live with and manage this disease, it isn't disappearing anytime soon and an effective vaccine available generally is more than likely at least 12 months away.
So what do we do in the meantime - shut up shop, destroy the economy, peoples lives?
A half decent track and trace system would be a start, a strategy that focused on advising clearly what those at risk could do would help and let the rest of the population who by and large are unaffected by it get on with their lives.
Yes i appreciate this has risk but its whats going to have to happen eventually
Makes me pizz all the people on here who can't stand the BBC seen to spend a lot time waiting to for something to complain about . Don't watch it ! Get out ,so some charity work . Get and life spring to mind . Either that or watch Piers Morgan then you would have something to complain about .
You could say the same about watching Derby, many of us constantly complain about the way the club is run, well go and watch another team.
Unlike Derby, I'm forced to pay money to the BBC, to watch other TV channels and I expect fair and equal coverage when the public are compelled to pay for the service.
Nevermind, whether or not I should watch the channel, or doesn't get away from the question, should a responsible national public sponsored news programme act in such a manner?
