Can't believe the faith people have in the Beeb, Sky, Piers Morgan etc.


Mind-blowing.

You crack me up. Your mission is to question everything that read on the BBC, and twitter. Just to 'stimulate debate'

What have you been doing during during lockdown?

My other half and I have been recreating Fleetwood Macs greatest hits. Some acoustic, some electric. She sounds more like Stevie Nicks than Stevie Nicks does. We have also been doing Times like these, that we have been doing for 10 years. The UK number 1. We could do with another 30 singers though.

Enjoy your lonely empty life idiot.

Bit of a non-sequitur.

Rhiannon and Landslide are great though.

12 March press conference:
"Our aim is not to stop everyone getting it, you can’t do that. And it’s not desirable, because you want to get some immunity in the population. We need to have immunity to protect ourselves from this in the future."
13th March:

15 March:

This was very much a serious prospect until 'new data' on 23 March showed the death rate that would result and it was finally ruled out.

Just looking furthed down the SKY NEWS link you've provided John dated March 15th .

It report's the UK have 11 deaths , what's that roughly 6 weeks ago ?

Now we are just short of 30k and we've lockdown for 5 of those weeks .

Are we seriously looking in to easing off this thing ?

Really !!!

Ain't they just

We do great version of both. But the public will judge.

You've got competition from Fleetwood Bac though.

Back to the virus, if obesity is a factor then how come the fast food places seem to be the only ones re-opening?

This is what we look like from abroad - Sydney Morning Herald.

"Unlike Italy, the United Kingdom had time to prepare for the coronavirus tsunami. But as the death toll climbs, critics say Britain's response has suffered from a series of deadly mistakes and miscalculations"

"Says Martin McKee, professor of European public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and an adviser to the World Health Organisation: "The countries that moved fast have curtailed the epidemic. The countries that delayed have not. It's as simple as that."

Dr Richard Horton, editor in chief of The Lancet medical journal, is even more damning: "The handling of the COVID-19 crisis in the UK is the most serious science policy failure in a generation."

Not playing air guitar with the missus

I see Professor Neil Ferguson whose report triggered the lockdown has been forced to step down from his role as government advisor because he couldn't manage to stick to the social distancing restrictions he imposed on the rest of us.

This is getting farcical now. Just about everyone telling us what to do has either contracted the virus or broken their own guidelines. Some have done both.
